OPTUS OFFERS TRULY (RULY) UNLIMITED BROADBAND BUNDLES

Optus offers truly (ruly) unlimited broadband bundles

Optus today launched its new range of fixed broadband bundles that include, for the first time, truly unlimited options without the hidden fees, catches or restrictive terms that have plagued customers in the past. We’ve called them My Home and My Office – simple broadband bundles that offer calls and internet with the option to add extra speed, entertainment or call inclusions to suit your needs.

We’ve got rid of the ‘gotchas’

Martin Mercer, Managing Director, Fixed for Optus said, “Our customers told us they were sick of rules, hidden fees, lock-in contracts and a lack of choice in broadband.” “These Optus My Home bundles and My Office bundle plans show we’ve listened and will now give customers the freedom to choose unlimited broadband bundles on a network they know and trust, with a level of flexibility, control and certainty around their spend that others don’t provide.” “These bundles really do take the complexity out of broadband for our customers – just as the launch of Optus My Plan did for mobile earlier this year.” “Optus is the only player in the market to offer this level of flexibility in broadband bundles with the option to do away with lock-in contracts and even move up and down between plans when you need to without being charged.” Here’s what

we’ve eliminated from our bundles

• Inflexible contracts – customers can now choose either a 24 month contract or go month-to-month for just $10 extra per month
• Upfront fees and sneaky charges for your modem, delivery or connection with our new bundles
• Moving connection fees – we won’t charge you to disconnect and re-connect your broadband when you move house or office (43 per cent of Australians moved at least once in the past five years*) and
• Fees for moving up or down between plans whether you are on contract or not.

Three simple options to choose from Available across Optus’ ULL, HFC and NBN fixed networks*, the new plan categories are:

• My Home or My Office – Phone and Broadband Bundles – perfect for Aussie families or small businesses who just want the security of knowing exactly what’s included in their bundles for phone and Internet.
• My Home Entertainment Bundles – ideal for customers who want access to the latest release movies, kids entertainment and extra TV channels without the price tag.

Let us entertain you

Optus has also launched a new range of Entertainment Bundles through Optus TV with Fetch, for the first time offering all 25 Entertainment channels in select bundles. Plus there are some great new channels such as Disney and Disney Junior along with the best of ABC4KIDS via ABC iView. “The inclusion of Disney is truly great value and gives Optus customers access to classic family entertainment whenever they want it,” Mr Mercer said. Optus has also launched a new, smaller, faster, (and better looking) second generation set top box with its entertainment bundle. “This includes the same market leading capability, with 1TB of storage capacity and three tuners so you can watch and record so much more,” Mr Mercer said. Existing customers set top boxes will be upgraded with the same great software so they too will enjoy the improved experience.

New plans – the nuts and bolts of what you get per month on a 24 month broadband bundle contract: 

Note: If you don’t want to be tied down to a 24 month contract you just pay an extra $10 per month for a month-to-month contract.

You can also choose extras to make your plan your own:
