Telstra has unveiled its pricing for the services it will offer over the National Broadband Network (NBN), with broadband plans starting from $49.95 for 50GB of data and download speeds of 25 megabits per second (Mbps).
The pricing details follows the telco’s signing of NBN Co’s wholesale broadband agreement (WBA).
Telstra customers will have the option of bundled home phone and broadband plans or data-only plans. Bundled plans start at $80 per month on a 24-month plan for 5GB, download speeds of up to 25Mbps and unlimited local calls, and ranges to $150 per month for 500GB of data, download speeds of up to 100Mbps and unlimited local and STD calls as well as unlimited calls to Australian mobiles.
Data-only NBN plans range from $49.95 per month on a 24-month plan for 50GB of data and download speeds of 25Mbps, to $89.95 for 500GB of data at the same download speeds. Customers on data-only plans can also access speeds of 100Mbps for a further $10 monthly fee.
According to Telstra chief customer officer, Gordon Ballantyne, the telco has had 500 customers trial NBN services over the past six months and has since set up a dedicated call centre to manage customer enquiries and develop information packages for customers, which they can access online or at Telstra stores.

Hang on wasn't the government making statements that the NBN will be up to 1GB speed... I currently get cable Internet through optus between 20MB to 80MB speed.. Sounds like 1GB speed was another Labor Lie... What a ripoff
Greg
No its more like Telstra is trying to bleed their customers dry than Labor lying.
There are other ISP's that already sell the NBN cheaper than telstra.
huh
@Pat this has nothing to do with the NBN and all to do with Telstra being, well Telstra, look up prices for iinet,primus internode and the other usual suspects all are around $50 to $60 mark and that includes phone.........
Telstra is relaying on legacy customers and lazy people to fleece last bit of cash out of the life ex copper network....
Telstra should be staked out in the sun and left to die screaming in the harsh exposure to light.
gnome
@huh, what you suggest is contrary to all the regulations and concepts regarding how we may deal with such a situation.
It would just be like cruelty to a dumb animal, and we can't have that even if the subject is as dumb and vexatious as Telstra, can we?
;-)
stooge
you idiots. you are never going to get a constant 1gbps in this country....simply dont have the need for it for them to fork out the money...besides...we already can achieve those speeds on cable....dsl2+ is usually enough for most home users...why would they waste money on nbn running fibre...for those poor pricks in the bush with no internet....all they need to do is upgrade the telstra phone towers and subsidise their wireless internet...quite simple really....i hate polititions.....
Oh
Politician - p o l i t i c i a n.
Quite simple really.
