OptusUp to 150GB Premium Speed Cable Broadband & Home Phone Plan Speed limited for both peak and off-peak to 128kbps once peak data exceeded

Optus Cable Broadband is only available in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metropolitan areas.

 

Optus Cable Broadband needs to be professionally installed. If you are switching to Optus, there is no BYO Modem option for Optus Cable and you must get an Optus Cable Modem.

Professional Installation (see Other Fees & Charges tab above)

Professional Installation is necessary for installing Optus Cable Broadband and requires a technician visiting your house.

Unless you are using a wireless modem or wired router with additional cabling to your computer, it is most likely that you will need to have your computer positioned near the phone socket in your house. If you wish to network multiple computers in your home to the Internet, you will require either a Home WiFi modem/router or a wired 4 port modem/router. If you are using two or more computers in the house, your download allowance will be shared amongst all the computers in the house i.e. there is not a download allowance allocated to each computer.

 

All Optus plans are 'shaped' or 'throttled' if you exceed your peak or total monthly data allowance, access will be speed limited for both peak and off-peak to 128kbps until the end of the billing month. If you exceed your off peak data allowance, all further usage will be counted towards the peak data allowance. You will not be charged excess fees for going over your allowance. You can always upgrade to a higher allowance with Optus. A $50 plan downgrade fee applies if you change to a broadband plan with a lower minimum monthly access fee at any time during your agreement period. Early cancellation fees apply.

5 free email addresses with 10MB of webspace each.
