21 May 2018

Optus today launched a new suite of fixed broadband plans offering customers fast speeds, more entertainment options and $10 off their monthly bill when bundled with an eligible Optus postpaid mobile account.

Optus Managing Director of Product and Marketing, Ben White said, “We’re excited to launch our new Optus Ultra plans which will provide a superior home broadband experience when streaming high definition entertainment and sport content, and enable multiple streams and more devices to be connected at one time.

“We know our customers want more value and that’s why we’ve developed two plans which provide options for added entertainment and access to Optus Sport. Our Optus Ultra plan offers
fast broadband speeds, unlimited data and unlimited standard calls to local fixed lines.
