Internode unveils NBN pricing

69

National broadband provider Internode this afternoon revealed its initial pricing plans for commercial services over the planned National Broadband Network infrastructure, with the ISP to only offer so-called ‘bundled’ plans which come with a telephone connection and prices starting at $59.95 a month.

The company’s plans will come in four different quota variants, consistent with Internode’s existing ADSL plans, and will be offered in four different speed tiers — ranging from 12Mbps downlink speeds, to 25Mbps, 50Mbps and then 100Mbps. Uplink speeds will range from 1Mbps through to 40Mbps.

Plan prices, according to a statement Internode issued this afternoon, will range from $59.95 for a low-end 12Mbps plan with 30Gb of download quota, through to $189.95 for a 100Mbps plan with one terabyte of quota. Price points are widely available in between that range, and customers are also able to buy additional services on top — such as fixed IP address and priority business support.

All plans will count both download and uploads in users’ monthly quotas. Speed shaping will be applied to all data traffic once quotas have been exceeded, although customers can also buy additional data packs online.

The telephone service which will be bundled with the plans is Internode’s NodePhone internet telephony offering (voice over IP) and $10 monthly call credit, although the company has also noted that NBN Co is planning to also offer what Internode described as “a conventional analogue fixed line voice service”, which will be available later in 2011 through Internode.

Internode managing director Simon Hackett warned in the statement that Internode’s pricing was “vulnerable to upward pressure in the future”, however, due to what he has previously described as flaws in NBN Co’s pricing model.

Customers who are currently using Internode’s NBN-based services in the network’s early stage rollout zones will be able to continue to do so for the time being.

“Customers of current services in Tasmania (which uses an earlier interim pricing model), and of services on the mainland (currently provided on a no-added-cost basis alongside their existing Internode ADSL2+ services), will receive direct advice about when their services will transition to this new pricing,” Internode said today. At that point, they will have the opportunity to choose the commercial plan that best suits their requirements.”

It is difficult to directly compare Internode’s current ADSL broadband plans with the NBN fibre-based plans, due to the different speed tiers which are offered. However, at the 25Mbps tier, which offers similar speeds to the equivalent ADSL plans (but dramatically better latency, and expected better reliability), the prices are relatively comparable.

Internode currently charges customers $49.95 per month for a 200GB ADSL plan as part of a bundle, as well as either a $29.95 monthly line rental cost or a NodePhone plan which varies between $0 and $20 a month on top. So, the current charge for a 200GB ADSL plan from Internode would range between $49.95 and $79.95. The equivalent NBN 25MBps 200GB plan costs $89.95.

  1. And now it all begins to fall apart….

    Seriously? I currently pay $59 for 150gb on Optus HFC. I have been told this is 30Mbps (sure). A similar capacity would jump to $79 or $89, complete with a useless voip line i don’t want or need. I know that Internode is making a point here, but if another provider can’t do any better Turnbull will have some serious fodder for his arguements going forward. I smell trouble for Labor.

    • Your lucky to be on HFC.

      I can only get ADSL1 via conjested RIM via Telstra Wholesale – I pay $159 per month (including line rental) for speeds that max out at 2 Mbps on a very good day.

      I would give my left nut (and quite possibly the right) to be able to sign up for Internode 300GB 100/40 Mbps at $139!

    • “And now it all begins to fall apart….”

      How so? I currently pay $99 for a ~13mbps connection with less than a 1mbps upload plus $40 for a phone service for a total of $140. For a few dollars more I could get the 1tb 50/20mbps plan… then there are iiNets plans to consider… isn’t competition great? Bring on the fibre!

    • This is the problem with having CVC be $20/mbit. It’s insane. It should be $1/mbit, dropping 50% every year or two.

  2. *Internode managing director Simon Hackett warned in the statement that Internode’s pricing was “vulnerable to upward pressure in the future”, however, due to what he has previously described as flaws in NBN Co’s pricing model.*

    that statement alone tells me the latest released pricing schedules do not reflect the REAL costs of wholesale access under the NBN.

    • No. More likely the prices are likely to be affected by low subscriber numbers where Internode cannot match the CVC required to give the burst speeds.

      I.e he mentioned per POI for 100/40 connections you need 200Mbps CVC. Which if you only have 5 or 6 customers means you’re paying a lot of CVC relative to the income you’re recieving.

      So I’d say the pricing is reflective of the true costs assuming Internode meet their subscriber numbers.

    • But you’ll be able to watch 1080 HD youtube without buffering, don’t forget that.

      • I can do that now with adsl2+ while I’m downloading Steam games browsing the net all at the same time with room to spare for $88 per month 200gb 22100/1100 .
        But it does help when the exchange is over the back fence.

  3. Okay. Hopefully this is a wake up call for Labor, they need to do something about the CVC charges.

    Granted it’s not as bad as expected, but still it is concerning.

    Wonder what responses for pricing we’ll see from other providers?

    • *Okay. Hopefully this is a wake up call for Labor, they need to do something about the CVC charges.
      Granted it’s not as bad as expected, but still it is concerning.*

      are you kidding me? those prices would be EXCELLENT for a $50bln build if they were actually SUSTAINABLE as opposed to being “INITIAL PRICING” in the lead-up to ACCC confirmation or variation of NBNco’s proposed whoesale pricing.

      • So wait, you think these prices are okay? I thought you were the one saying that the NBN will make everything needlessly expensive!

        Do you think dropping the CVC prices, even if these prices prove to be sustainable, is a bad thing, if we do in the way that does not adversely affect the ability for the enterprise to repay the project?

        • *So wait, you think these prices are okay?*

          HUH? something wrong with your eyesight?

          1/ ignoring the different speed tiers, the plan pricing in terms of allocated quota is exactly the same as ADSL pricing on non-TW DSLAMs;

          2/ the extra $10 for jumping across higher speed ports is designed to improve average gross margins somewhat;

          3/ i’m not sure what subscriber mix Internode requires across the different ports to sustain the baseline 12/1 pricing – i’m guessing the assumed median subscriber will be on something between 12/1 and 25/5 (how many people are going to pay $100 for 100Mbit 30GB cap?)

          4/ if these prices are sustainable and reflect the real underlying costs of wholesale access on the NBN, i’d say build the damn thing!

          *I thought you were the one saying that the NBN will make everything needlessly expensive!*

          that’s still very much the case, unless these prices are genuinely indicative of the real cost of using the NBN as opposed to being “interim pricing subject to major changes to NBN pricing”.

          “Do you think dropping the CVC prices, even if these prices prove to be sustainable, is a bad thing,”

          if these prices are sustainable, CVC is not an issue. i can only guess Internode is still whinging about the CVC issue because these prices are only “interim”.

          • My eyesight is fine. These prices are on par with Internode’s ADSL prices, which are some of the more expensive (let’s be honest) ADSL prices. That is why I am concerned.

            I also said in a previous post I want to see what other providers will be offering.

          • @NightKhaos

            “These prices are on par with Internode’s ADSL prices, which are some of the more expensive (let’s be honest) ADSL prices. That is why I am concerned.”

            Hence the recent Internode ADSL price and quota adjustments so that the NBN prices don’t quite look so bad, nice one eh?

          • That would be my guess Alain. I mean it’s a sound strategy. It also means migrating customers is easier, because they, in general, have a 1 to 1 plan they go migrate to when the NBN is rolled out at there home.

          • What adjusting your ADSL pricing so the NBN pricing doesn’t look so bad is a ‘sound strategy’ is it?

          • What adjusting your ADSL pricing so the NBN pricing looks bad is a ‘sound strategy’ is it?

          • @nightKhaos

            Well more than a few it seems reading the Internode thread on the new plans in Whirlpool.

          • *4/ if these prices are sustainable and reflect the real underlying costs of wholesale access on the NBN, i’d say build the damn thing!*

            whoops… i should caveat that..

            1/ the ability to provision current (non-Bigpond) plan quotas at non-TW ADSL prices

            and

            2/ NBNco’s ability to pay off the build costs

            are two separate issues altogether. my comment “build the damn thing” omitted consideration of 2/.

          • Whoops you should caveat that again…

            You’d say say build the damn thing… if it was Coalition policy and not those dirty socialist’s policy…!

      • since discovering the “voice” that comes with the Internode NBN package isn’t a proper NBN voice product but a crappy VoIP product, their prices aren’t that “excellent” after all… LOL

        • What is the difference between a VoIP service that runs over the data connection and one that’s connected to the UNI-V input? I thought QOS priorities applied to all of the ports, so there should really be no difference?

      • that doesn’t work. even Internode has dropped that dud idea (and suggested two NEW dud ideas.)

  4. Well Tosh, all we can do at this stage is judge the prices on what they are, not what they may possibly be, due to outside influences…

    As such, they are currently EXCELLENT according to you… !

  5. Those prices are not looking good. I’m currently on Optus HFC 100/2Mbps with 120GB quota for $64.95/month.

    I have no problem paying a little bit more to subsidise the regional areas but that’s just ridiculous.

    • The catch 22 of course being Martin, do you think your HFC would still be that inexpensive if it weren’t for the NBN and Optus/Telstra trying to sign up as many customers as they can to increase their worth, re: NBN migration?

      I guess we’ll never know, but just how much was that plan (if available) in 2008, prior to the NBN?

      • CVC cost is way too high. It should be $1/mbit, reflecting actual market rates in major urban areas around the world, and drop 50% every 1 or 2 years.

        • I think everyone agrees Merlin.

          Sadly however, the usual suspect naysayers, have an each way whinge to fall back on… They whinge about CVC charges and final pricing whilst simultaneously whinging about the construction costs and less than market rate ROI…ffs

          This is just a continuation of FUD, albeit at least with some justification for a change…

          So we have those who can hear NBNCo saying, we will look at the CVC concerns and adjust if we have the mix wrong and the FUDsters who keep claiming the sky is falling down, no matter what.

          What we (both groups) need to do is meet in the middle, but that will never occur as the resident dooms-dayers aren’t anti-NBN per se`, they are anti anything Labor! So even if CVC charges were eliminated entirely, they’d then simply revert back to whinging about the cost/ROI, waste, white elephant, Quigley, blah, blah

          • That’s true. Hearing Turnbull complain about prices makes me want to bash my head into a brick wall. He’s the guy who wants to give billions in subsidies to Telstra to build an expensive and completely outdated FTTN network.

          • @Merlin

            “He’s the guy who wants to give billions in subsidies to Telstra to build an expensive and completely outdated FTTN network.”

            No he didn’t.

            …. and your the guy that stated Telstra is taking their profits and starting up monopolies overseas.

            The flow of BS is at least consistent.

        • that’s because nowhere else in the world do they push fibre to 93% of the population.

  6. No doubt internode will try to complain to the accc , if there are competitors with cheaper prices

      • I’ll add to that, that the NBN price squeeze on current non-NBN BB pricing as well.

        • Gee normally new technology comes at a premium!

          Remember the first Plasma TVs being 10’s of $1000’s. Playstations $800. The original iPhones being $1500 (or whatever) or some of the first PC’s with little computing power costing an arm and a leg … now look.

          What NBNCo is trying to achieve is a not so profit driven, happy medium of new technology/construction vs. existing plans/ROI etc, to give Australian’s the fairest, most affordable outcome… a seamless changeover from old to new and NOT hit us with a cost impost.

          So of course private enterprise caring only about $$$, will take a small hit and reduce prices “in the short term/interim” (to tie customers to contracts) but more importantly, “to ensure longevity”, as NBNCo are in turn, forced to reduce wholesale costs further, to meet this happy medium – the objective of equal or better for equivalent cost. Which is good for us, the consumer, but will impact on NBNCo’s projections of course!

          It isn’t easy for NBNCo to get the mix right and if it was your precious profit-driven, private enterprise owning/building FTTP, they would phase out the old/existing and we would be paying absolute top dollar for the new, no questions asked and no negotiation (as demonstrated in the initial paragraph).

          So if you dooms-dayers can’t recognise any of these factors or are too biased to even say, “maybe”, well you really need to hand in your political membership and have a good, long look at yourselves and your reasons/agendas for the blind, incessant, negative BS, imo!

  7. *So, the current charge for a 200GB ADSL plan from Internode would range between $49.95 and $79.95.*

    that’s inaccurate. the current price range for 200GB ADSL is $70 to $80. you have to bundle the $30 NodeLine with the $50 Easy Broadband 200.

  8. “although the company has also noted that NBN Co is planning to also offer what Internode described as “a conventional analogue fixed line voice service”, which will be available later in 2011 through Internode.”

    So why isn’t this available now I wonder? perhaps the NBN Co doesn’t want direct comparisons with Telstra Homeline Plans for voice only NBN (assuming there will be such a unbundled product!) until after the Telstra agreement is signed (hopefully) later in 2011, and is all too late anyway?

    Perhaps Telstra can be ‘persuaded’ to increase their Homeline Plans rental figures, especially that pesky cheap Budget $20.95 one before then so the NBN offering doesn’t look so bad.

    • Because of the Zone 2 3 regional divide that exists between metro and rural voice customers, to even suggest any increase of the HLB (effectively the Telstra Tax many of us pay) would incense many long suffering rural folk.

      If anything the voice line rental should come down, not go up! It is comfortable to rest on the USO laurels when it financially suits them!

      The wedge argument you are attempting to introduce to the debate to make some minor point scoring win on Telstra V’s others V’s NBN is clumsy at best and down right ridiculous at worst.

      As the fibre rolls in and the copper is gradually cut, the movement of prices and plans I would respectfully suggest will become a dynamic thing and I expect there to be far more changes to come. The day we can escape the Tel$tra Tax forever will be a sweet day in our house that is for sure …

      • @Keith C

        ” to even suggest any increase of the HLB (effectively the Telstra Tax many of us pay) would incense many long suffering rural folk.”

        Yes I know you would happy paying $20.95 for ever, but if the NBN Co cannot provide a unbundled voice only component that retails for $20.95 you would expect Telstra to adjust upwards HLB post the deal being signed off later this year.

        If I was you I would art lobbying your local Federal member to ensure the NBN provide a baseline voice component for those that cannot afford more than current Telstra HLB retail pricing.

        “If anything the voice line rental should come down, not go up! It is comfortable to rest on the USO laurels when it financially suits them!”

        Not sure about your link between Telstra Homeline pricing and the USO at all.

        “The wedge argument you are attempting to introduce to the debate to make some minor point scoring win on Telstra V’s others V’s NBN is clumsy at best and down right ridiculous at worst.”

        Wedge argument? do you want Telstra HLB pricing under the NBN or not?, nothing I have seen in the NBN business plan pricing indicates this will happen, so pushing that point is ‘ridiculous’ why?

        “As the fibre rolls in and the copper is gradually cut, the movement of prices and plans I would respectfully suggest will become a dynamic thing and I expect there to be far more changes to come.”

        Indeed hopefully downward if the Internode pricing is anything to go by, but Hackett indicates there is upward pressure on that initial pricing released yesterday, so you are right you would hope there are changes to come.

        ” The day we can escape the Tel$tra Tax forever will be a sweet day in our house that is for sure”

        It’s not a tax, it’s line rental, but you know how it works, when you ring up Telstra and say you have a fault and they fix it even if it means replacing the whole line, same as the standard charge on electricity and gas bills that covers maintenance and faults, or is that a ‘tax’ as well and you don’t want to pay it.

        BTW the massive NBN tax burden on this generation and most likely the next is a more friendly type of tax is it?

  9. This is a bit like a breakaway group 1/3 into a tour de France stage. It doesn’t have any bearing on who are the leaders at the finish.

    It’s going to get pretty ugly for smaller operators like Internode.

    • I agree Brett, the two biggies BigPond and Optus have not released any NBN pricing yet, the other two relative biggies iiNet and TPG NBN Plans will be the most interesting.

      I am sure residences in active areas will not be overloading the Internode call centre in their haste to get off ADSL and onto the NBN anytime soon.

  10. For Internode, these prices are good.

    Anyone who is not on Internode at the moment, comparing these prices to their current ISP, and crying about how expensive the NBN is going to be, is quite frankly – a moron.

    I’m with TPG at the moment paying peanuts, but I can see these plans for what they are – plans from one of the most expensive ISP’s, when you compare Internode’s ADSL to Internode’s NBN prices, they look good.

    If every provider will have a similar ‘conversion’ rate, with the same prices for entry level NBN services as their ADSL services, and slight increases for each higher speed tier – I don’t know why we wasted so much time arguing about end-user costs.

    • If you read the article, you would realize that these prices are likely to increase in the future, as Hackett pointed out with regards to CVC pricing

        • “Backhaul costs from 121 points of interconnect back to the metro core of each RSP will cost a lot of money: This money will necessarily be added on to retail service costs once NBN Co starts to force its RSP’s to move away from the current ‘temporary’ points of interconnect (in metro capital cities) and makes them re-connect at the geographically distributed POI locations the ACCC have determined.

          The pricing initially released by Internode for NBN commercial services does not take these additional backhaul costs into account: Thats because we simply don’t know what they will cost, other than being quite certain that the costs will be non-trivial. Hence once those costs are clear, we expect them to drive increases in our subsequent retail pricing.”

    • @Duideka

      “For Internode, these prices are good.”

      err what?, Is that why the Hackett has spent a whole blog repeated in Delimiter explaining why they are not good, and why they will probably increase.

      “Anyone who is not on Internode at the moment, comparing these prices to their current ISP, and crying about how expensive the NBN is going to be, is quite frankly – a moron.”

      Really, even though the NBN Co and Conroy kept planting the idea punters would not pay anymore for the NBN than they are paying now, what are you a Conroy/NBN Co apologist?

      ” when you compare Internode’s ADSL to Internode’s NBN prices, they look good.”

      So that’s makes all ok does it, because Intenode adjusted their ADSL prices a bit over a week ago knowing what was in store for the punters for the NBN release yesterday, jeez that was easy.

      The NBN is providing upward pressure on ADSL pricing, classic, and it’s no where close to being finished yet!

      “If every provider will have a similar ‘conversion’ rate, with the same prices for entry level NBN services as their ADSL services, and slight increases for each higher speed tier – I don’t know why we wasted so much time arguing about end-user costs.”

      Yeah well they say there is a sucker born every minute, when the populace at large get their heads around this doozy mainly when the forced migrations take place from the top three the shit is really going to hit the fan if NBN prices are not adjusted down.

      The two and a dog that can take up a Internode NBN plan in the limited active areas is nothing in the scale of events if the Telstra deal is ratified by shareholders and the ACCC and we start getting exchange area forced migrations into higher priced plans when the majority of punters are happy paying less for the quotas and speeds they already had.

      • Huh … alain writes > “exchange area forced migrations into higher priced plans etc” maybe in the parallel universe you are in, BUT I respectfully suggest that what will happen in the real world is that as NBN fibre is rolled in and lit, customers will then have the freedom of choice to deal with their preferred retailer and go to a plan / price point that suits them and their home & family budget situations.

        Further, there are so many us V’s them arguments bouncing around, where by the city slickers say effectively “up yours Jack, I am happy with my superfast cable able to download and stream whatever they like then us rural users just have to contend with congested, choked off ADSL SUPER SLOW, stuttering vids, etc” Just to get some of you to realise there are many poorly – underserviced groups of us here that are just begging for the NBN fibre to deliver the hope for a better internet connected future

        @Duideka, I wholly agree with your Internode comments

        • @Keith C

          “what will happen in the real world is that as NBN fibre is rolled in and lit, customers will then have the freedom of choice to deal with their preferred retailer and go to a plan / price point that suits them and their home & family budget situations.”

          So no matter what ADSL plan they are on with TPG Dodo, iiNet, Netspace, Primus etc etc the NBN Co guarantees or Keith C does?, they will not pay one dollar extra under the NBN.

          Well that’s interesting, a quick scan gave me TPG ADSL2+ at $29.99 for 50 gig unbundled, looking at the Internode table above the entry level price for a Internode NBN plan is $59.95 for 30 gig, with predicted upward pressure on those NBN prices.

          So it’s fingers crossed that TPG can provide 50 gig of NBN for $29.99 at the entry level in their plans $30 cheaper than what Internode can do with the exact same wholesale pricing from the NBN Co.

          Which will be really interesting as TPG will no longer have the cost advantage and cost control of having their own exchange gear anymore.

          So the freedom of choice you infer is the ‘freedom’ that might give your ‘home & family budget situations’ a real beating.

          “@Duideka, I wholly agree with your Internode comments”

          I see you deliberately avoided my response to them, fair enough.

          • @alain, of course what you do in your reply mis-represents one of my points.

            VIP CUSTOMER choice based on Customer SERVICE capability (NBN world – Telstra will not be the only show in town, thank heavens)

            We do weigh up our internet access service with SUPREME Customer Support as our overarching determinant for who gets our business;

            Internode with awe inspiring Customer Service reputation numbers (Roy Morgan research for example) does it for us, others may be driven by lowest cost as the First and only driver, you only know how good your ISP is until you need technical help!

            The extinct bird ISP has come up with a $40 12 / 1 plan price point, so this seems to be the indicative band 40 to 60, set by the market and nothing to do with a guarantee by me!!

            And your point about future tax … a faster efficient bandwidth internet will benefit multiple generations to come, can you not see the huge social AND business dividend in this project (NBN)?

            Cleverer people than you and I have already given Mr Turnbulls NBN alternative the thumbs down!! The sooner every thing gets locked up and “contract firm” and Telstra structurally separates the better the Aussie telecommunications marketplace will be for the average consumer!!

  11. To get off this bastard of a RIM I’m on without having to move house as some Coalition supporters have told me to do, sign me up.

          Well go (((((MOVE))))) somewhere else then. I can’t get a pool where I live, nor can I get train station thats nearby where I used to live. So I moved.If you want a better service, pay for it. {END}

          And yes, deteego has said he is a Coalition supporter…

  12. You neglect to mention that internode plan to meter data in BOTH directions on NBN plans.

    Be that as it may, it certainly doesn’t make any of the plans comparable to current ADSL offerings, either on price or quota. Especially if you (like me) run a vpn or bittorrent.

  13. If you start essentially giving away the CVC, as Hackett seems to be arguing (for the first 200Meg at least), I wonder what that does to the contention ratio assumptions that have been made when the network was deigned/costed/constructed.
    There is a real cost of getting the data from the FSAs to the POIs. My boss has always had a problem with me giving stuff away for less than it costs him to buy.
    When the inevitable happens and TPG/Dodo/Exetel start selling tails at cost+$1 with unlimited Internet, just making their margin on telephony/IPTV, (if you own a cable to Guam and the CVC is free, why not just recoup the tail cost and give away the bandwidth?), the contention assumptions for the AEB component of the NBN would surely go out the window at the point? Does the taxpayer pay to upgrade the aggregation network from the FSAs to the POIs?
    Don’t take this as anti/pro NBN/internode/tpg/insert whatever, just pondering.
    Interesting times…beer time…

  14. What’s the point of building a NBN if they are going to charge High price and Low Data Cap?
    How do you expect business to go online with only just 1Tb/mth?
    Ain’t we building NBN to move Australia to the next century? With biz/households doing internet video calls, more online movies and such??
    I still remember an ad about a doctor doing live video diagnosis with a patient. Imagine how much the internet bill will cost under current suggested pricing plan..doh..i rather drive 3hr, wait 4hr to see a doc then pay for his internet bill !!
    Come on, some 3rd world countries/ developing countries have cheaper rates and faster internet then us.
    Some countries are already using internet capable TV for heaven sake…
    What i see here is the Telco protecting profits and price gorging us users and not for our benefits at all..
    I suggest speed based pricing and unlimited data cap with no throttling..
    Come on, lets build a internet savvy Australia.

  15. “I suggest speed based pricing and unlimited data cap with no throttling..”

    Damn it, why didn’t we think of the that? Due to your suggestion we’ve just dropped all CVC charges and the NBN shall be as cheap as chips for evrybody! I’ve spoken to Mr Hacket and Internode’s revised prices are below. Due to the simplicity of the new pricing structure there shall now be one plan for everybody:

    100000gbp/s down/24000gbps up – 64,000TB a month – $2.90

    Thanks again for your suggestion Mr Eng. You’ve changed everything!

    • Your being sarcastic to a good suggestion NBNCo….
      Speed based throttling is used in many countries. i am sure Eng does not mean 1 flat rate..
      Probably pricing can be structured say…
      Casual users can get a 12Mbp/unlimited line at maybe a flat rate of $30
      24Mbp/unlimited at $50 and so on until 100Mbp/limited at say $129…
      Fact is, user pays for the speed of download they want but not amount of data…
      Based on a 5 million subscriber averaging ..NBN can still recover the cost in 8 to 12 yrs..

  16. While I’m eager to get off adsl and get some decent upload bandwidth (I host) I’m not looking forward to paying $59.95 for 30gig @12/1 when I pay $59.95 for 150gig @ 18/0.8 with the same company…

  17. I would take these prices like a grain of salt

    Internode is notoriously known for expensive broadband services.
    wait till others release their plans, ill bet you will see plans with similar, if not, the same quotas, for half the price!

  18. In a nutshell, anyone currently lucky enough to be on HFC should bend over and prepare to get screwed. Everyone else should be pretty happy.

    Love how NBN co proclaim what a bargain it is when you consider that you get a phone service with these prices. However these days WHO NEEDS A FRIGGIN PHONE SERVICE??? If you have broadband you can have a very good voip service with a PSTN phone number for $5/month.
