Well I have now received a letter from Telstraclear confirming what we had already seen on the Telstraclear web site. Their cable internet plans are changing and the result is lower cost for may of the plans and more data for all but the 120G!
They are also adsorbing the GST increase for Data but TV is increasing by the amount of the GST increase.
Well done Telstraclear! Has taken awhile to happen but very glad to see it happening. We only have Internet and TV so the packages will change as below
Highspeed 1G, TV 4Mbps & 1GB to 15Mbps & 2GB from $82.64 to $89.66
Highspeed 5G, TV 4Mbps & 5GB to 15Mbps & 10GB from $92.64 to $99.66
Highspeed 10G, TV 10Mbps & 10GB to 15Mbps & 20GB from $102.64 to $109.66
Highspeed 20G, TV 10Mbps & 20GB to 15Mbps & 40GB from $127.64 to $123.66
Highspeed 50G, TV 10Mbps & 50GB to 15Mbps & 60GB from $157.64 to $149.66
Highspeed 80G, TV 10Mbps & 80GB to 15Mbps & 90GB from $197.64 to $193.66
Highspeed 120G, TV 25Mbps & 120GB to 25Mbps & 120GB from $277.64 to $263.66
All these prices include GST at the new rate.
So for the first 4 packages it cost a little more but you are now getting twice the data. For the next two they are only increasing by 10GB but there is a decrease in price. 120G plan is still a bit of a odd duck with no increase in data and only a slight decrease in cost. IMHO I think they do not want people moving to the 120g plan so are keeping it unattractive.
