NBN Co to accelerate higher speed tiers and launch multi-gigabit speeds in September 2025

  Would be nice to drop the price for lower speeds instead.

    Yeah, that’s not happening. They’re desperate to push revenue per user up, so they keep hiking low speed prices to push people towards 100+ megabit plans.

      They already lowered the wholesale prices earlier in the year to try and promote users to higher tiers and the helcos were all “passing these savings on to the end user could be bad, so we’ll have to think about it” and then everyone went back to being price gouged

  I am on aging PMG era copper with no upgrade on the horizon. I expect to die from old age before NBN offers better than 50Mbps VDSL. I will never forgive the cynical partisan politics that produced this shit show or the idiots who knew it was bullshit but went along with it due to tribalism. It was supposed to be a national network.

    It was the Telecom Oligarchs that kept the speed and infrastructure limited.

    I really wish that Telstra had not been accepted into the NBN; In my alternate history, FTTH would have been rolled out in parallel to all existing corroded copper. The problem with my alternate timeline is that Telstra would try to push fixed 4G and 5G as their only option and oversaturated the MobileNet infrastructure… wait they are doing that anyway!

  That’d be great if the rollout of FTTH upgrades hadn’t just been delayed 18 months

    I too am unable to get anything above 50. Old building only 10 mins from the CBD.

    Conservatisms goal was to create a class divide in QoS and QoL, and they succeeded… because obviously someone has to suffer, even if it costs double! That’s how they get off.

  Feel 200 up is not enough, such a joke they are selling so much down vs so little up :(

  There are no changes to the nbn wholesale pricing of these speed tiers arising from the speed increases.

  Interesting, however, are there not other fees and prices that need to be paid by the ISPs? ie it won’t be the same price for end users?

  I am suspicious that they only talk about wholesale, not end user, pricing. They’re not directly responsible for it but they would have modelled it and then decided not to mention it in this article.

    I would expect it to be the same as now with pricing dependent on the ISP. You’ll likely still have to do the 6 months / 12 months churn to get the best deal.

    I’m not certain if it’s still the case, but the announcement earlier this year stated the upgrades were being undertaken with no increase to wholesale costs: …com.au/…/nbn-plans-to-accelerate-highest-speed-t…

    That’s also not to say that the retailers don’t increase their pricing independent of the wholesale pricing.

  That’s nice, but how does that help people who, to this day, can’t get any ‘NBN’ other than satellite?

  It won’t change my current needs or plan I’m on, but I hope my free speed bump days get the upgrade to the new levels 😉
