Like many Australian internet providers have in recent months, Aussie Broadband will be adjusting its NBN plan prices from November 21. The winners are internet customers who want faster speeds, while those on NBN 12 through NBN 50 will see a price rise.
Here's how Aussie Broadband's plans will be changing:
| Plan | Current price | Price from Nov 21 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBN 12 | $59 | $65 | $6 increase |
| NBN 25 | $69 | $75 | $6 increase |
| NBN 50 | $79 | $85 | $6 increase |
| NBN 75 | $89 | $89 | No change |
| NBN 100/20 | $99 | $95 | $4 decrease |
| NBN 100/40 | $109 | $105 | $4 decrease |
| NBN 250 | $129 | $119 | $10 decrease |
| NBN 1000 | $149 | $129 | $20 decrease |
The traditionally cheaper NBN plans will all see a $6 increase. The faster and typically more expensive plans will see between a $4 and $20 decrease. It's not like things have been flipped entirely but it does close the gap in prices significantly in some cases.
NBN 50 is the most popular plan with around 44% of Australians signed up to one. NBN 100 plans tend to be around $10 to 15 more expensive. Currently, there's a $20 difference between what Aussie Broadband customers pay for NBN 50 and NBN 100. That difference will be halved from November 21.
The biggest price change is on the NBN 1000 plan. With that change, the gap between an NBN 50 and NBN 1000 plan from Aussie Broadband will shrink from $70 to $44.
The changes will no doubt make faster speed plans more enticing to households. Although, do keep in mind in order to get an NBN 250 or NBN 1000 plan you'll need either an FTTP or HFC connection type.
In general, Aussie Broadband's prices tend to be at the higher end. Here's Aussie Broadband's current NBN 100:
And here's how it compares with other NBN 100 plans in WhistleOut's database:
Why are Aussie Broadband's NBN plan prices changing?
The ACCC and NBN Co recently agreed on new NBN wholesale pricing. As part of that new pricing model wholesale NBN 50 prices will see an increase while NBN 100 and NBN 250 plans wholesale prices will decrease.
The new pricing takes effect from December 1 but some providers have already changed their plans such as Optus. Others, like Telstra for example will kick in from November similarly to Aussie Broadband.
You can expect further changes to follow as more NBN providers get ready to adjust their prices before December 1.
