Just came across this deal on iPrimus for nbn connections, which seems like great value, especially for the 1000/100 plan at $89/month for the first 6 months.
Here’s the summary of NBN plans (pricing below is for the first 6 months):
| Plan Name | Typical Evening Speed | Price (First 6 Months) | Usual Price | nbn Technology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| nbn® Premium (100/20) | 100 / 17 | $82 / month | $92 / month | FTTN, FTTB, FTTC |
| nbn® Premium Plus (500/50) | 500 / 50 | $82 / month | $102 / month | FTTP, HFC |
| nbn® Home Superfast (750/50) | 750 / 50 | $89 / month | $109 / month | FTTP, HFC |
| nbn® Home Ultrafast (1000/100) | 1000 / 100 | $89 / month | $109 / month | FTTP, HFC |
For comparison, the next best nbn 500/50 deal I could find was Exetel One Plan 500/50 at $80/month, which is their regular price (no promo period). Still good, but if you can get Ultrafast for $89, that’s a solid win.
From the iPrimus Opticomm plan selections, it’s really a no-brainer to go for the 1000/100 Ultrafast plan; same price as the 750/50, but faster download and upload speeds.
Compared to others like Superloop, this one stacks up really well if you’re in an Opticomm area.
Here’s the summary of Opticomm plans (pricing below is for the first 6 months, except Fibre Standard Plus):
| Plan Name | Typical Evening Speed | Price (First 6 Months) | Usual Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fibre Standard Plus (48/17) | 48 / 17 | $87 / month | $87 / month |
| Fibre Premium Plus (90/17) | 90 / 17 | $82 / month | $97 / month |
| Fibre Home Superfast (200/21) | 200 / 21 | $89 / month | $104 / month |
| Fibre Home Ultrafast (280/42) | 280 / 42 | $89 / month | $119 / month |
I wish ISPs would just give us 500/250 or something like 250/100 as standard. I hate the way plans are structured.
