NBN Co have announed a drop in wholesale pricing for their fastest plans effective December 1st
Whether this equates to cheaper Retail Pricing is to be seen but i thought it was interesting given a lot of RSP including OzB fav ABB have recently increased their retail pricing or kept prices the same but changed speeds. (100/40 changed to 100/20 for same price at ABB)

100Mbs Discount equates to $2-$9 per month wholesale
while the Gigabit Plans get a $24 discount each month for the 6 months.

These reduced prices will remain in place for 6 months initially, idea behind this is to "push more users on to higher speed tiers"

100/20 $2 per Month
100/40 $9 per Month
250/20 $12 per Month
Gigabit: $24 per Month
50/20 $8 per Month (Not Available to new Retail customer)

    The NBN is a rip off.

    The NBN pricing could be cheaper if the government in power accepts it is not as attractive investment it was first proposed 10 years ago and write off the value.

    ABB 100/20 price drops to $97 is good but hardly news :) in contrast raising it to $101 would be an outrage

    I want the NBN to fail because our government botched it so hard. We now have an expensive and unreliable backbone for our communication needs. We have FTTP at our place but have been on Optus 5G for the past year and a bit and love it.

      The NBN can't fail. It is a GOE and the feds will keep it running as they did with TLS and Auspost.

        Not fail as it will stop working one day. More as in they stop trying to extract returns from it and write off the value. This will allow them to drop the wholesale access prices.

          … write off the value

          Great Idea.

          Let the public pay rather than you or I.

          Just dump a few Hospitals and we'll be sweet.

          Although maybe the Reserve bank can just print a few more $100 notes and no one will pay will they!!

          🤦🏽‍♂️

    You have misinterpreted the article. The price reductions/rebates are only from 1 February 2021 for up to six months. They brought forward some extra CVC from December.

    Bean counters never want to reduce the ARPU.

    I’d be interested to see how many people actually have upwards of 250Mb plans. I wouldn’t think there would be many

      Here are the numbers from August 2020. We don't yet have the numbers for Telstra, Optus, Superloop, Launtel and others.

      Aussie Broadband.
      250/25 = 2564 customers out of 3780 total.
      1000/50 = 5080 customers.
      1000/400 = 100 customers.

      Vodafone.
      1000/50 = 5 customers.
