OPTUS SAYS 'YES' TO NO DATA LIMITS

Get everything you want in one bundle.

Optus today unveiled a new range of unlimited home broadband plans designed to make it even easier for customers to stream, watch and browse to their heart’s content.

Say good-bye to data limits

Data shouldn’t be a barrier to doing what you want, when you want it, so Optus is giving data-hungry customers the freedom to use the internet without the worry of chewing through their data. Households are using more broadband data than ever before, with Australians downloading more than 1.1 million terabytes of data in the 12 months to December 2014, an increase of 35% from the previous year.* Demand for data continues to grow as Australians take advantage of on-demand video services, with 52% of adults viewing TV shows or feature films via the internet.** Vicki Brady, Managing Director of Marketing and Product at Optus said, “Every household is different, but customers tell us they want plans that give them the freedom to use their data around the clock and without speed limits. With video-on-demand and streaming services becoming mainstream, we know that unlimited data is fast becoming a must have for many Aussie families.” “Optus is responding to changing consumer behaviour with plans that deliver everything customers have been asking for – loads of data, bundling options to suit their lifestyle, all delivered over a reliable network,” Ms Brady said.

Want more in your bundle?

With Optus’ unlimited home broadband bundles, customers can choose the plan that suits their lifestyle. Customers can choose from three unlimited home broadband bundles:

• Home Entertainment Bundle – great for data-hungry customers, who want all their on-demand entertainment in one place with Optus TV with Fetch and the security of a landline;
• Big Bundle – ideal for customers who want lots of data and the flexibility that comes with generous domestic and international call inclusions; and
• Ultimate Home Bundle – the plan for customers who want it all, with unlimited data, unlimited calls and all the entertainment they can handle with Optus TV with Fetch and the Entertainment Pack.

Enjoy a world of unlimited entertainment

Aussies love their TV, but they also want to be able to watch it when they want. Optus TV with Fetch is perfect for families who want entertainment on-demand and allows customers to watch and stream content right into their living room. Now Optus customers can:

• get the most out of their TV: with the ability to record, pause and rewind up to 585 hours of standard definition (SD) digital free-to-air TV with a premium personal video recording (PVR) device;

• watch on-demand content on the big screen: with easy access from their TV to Netflix, YouTube and Catch-up TV, a chance to rent or buy over 4,000 new release movies and access to the TV Store to buy selected TV episodes and seasons; and

• get extra entertainment included: with more than 35 premium channels to keep the whole family entertained including ESPN, Disney Channel and E! Entertainment and 30 pre-selected movie rentals each month.

Entry-Level options

While some customers love the freedom of lots of data, unlimited data isn’t for everyone. The Home Basics Bundle offers 200GB of data and unlimited standard national calls for just $70 per month on a 24 month plan. “Our basic plan is our best entry-level broadband bundle yet, offering customers 200GB of data and unlimited standard local and national calls, all for $70 a month,” Ms Brady said.

Bundle and Save

Customers who bundle broadband and mobile plans get a saving of $10 on their monthly mobile bill when they bundle their Optus mobile plan with any of these Optus broadband plans.
