While all eyes are on the NBN, as it approaches a major speed upgrade in September, it hasn’t been widely communicated whether other fibre internet providers will follow suit. The good news is that Opticomm appears to be offering the same speed increases, according to its latest wholesale pricing schedule.
Like NBN Co, Opticomm is a statutory infrastructure provider (SIP) that provides fibre internet infrastructure to telcos, who then sell access to customers. While NBN has become synonymous with internet access in Australia, some property developments use Opticomm to provide connectivity instead.
Under the NBN’s “Accelerate Great” project, full-fibre internet plans with download speeds of 100Mbps or more will automatically be upgraded at no extra cost. 100Mbps plans become 500Mbps, while 250Mbps plans increase to 750Mbps, while also increasing upload speeds. NBN Co put faster speeds on the agenda last year, but Opticomm hasn’t been as public with its communication.
Based on Opticomm’s wholesale pricing document that came into effect on 1 July 2025, the internet infrastructure provider will sell faster speeds on par with the NBN. The document lists 500/50 Mbps, 750/50 Mbps, and 1000/100 Mbps products as being “available from 1 September 2025.”
Opticomm lists its 100/20 Mbps wholesale product at $70.23 per month, while the upcoming 500/50 Mbps tier costs $71.03. Meanwhile, NBN Co lists the 100/20 Mbps tier at $58.53 per month on its SAU Tariff List, with the disclaimer that it will become 500/50 Mbps from 14 September.
While Opticomm hasn’t communicated whether premises on its infrastructure will automatically be transferred to the faster speeds, its wholesale pricing document indicates that faster speeds will be available at similar costs. Telcos contacted by GadgetGuy were unable to comment on Opticomm’s plans.
