is Anyone using or used contact broadband bundle offer here?
How was the experience?
Are they really unlimited or the speed reduces after a certain limit?
The power plus gas plus broadband bundle sounds like a deal.
Spark at the moment has gone to unplan and forcing everyone to take the 89$ plan and a contract.
Contact broadband is open term and no contract.

Moved to correct forum as this is not a bargain or deal announcement.

It really isn't a deal. You can get a better deal by separating your Broadband + Power / Gas. Also, if there was a problem from what I've heard calling Contact is terrible. You get what you pay for, don't go bottom dollar for your broadband.

It is not a deal.
You are correct. As it’s an open term, we can easily disconnect in a month time.
The power and gas prices are the attraction with contact (no contract prices) as well.

Doesn't sound that great an offer to me, but if you must, good luck getting through to their call centre.
