great nbn plans for aussie seniors

Our seniors plans are available to customers aged 60 and over.

When bundled with a casual home phone, we offer the 12/1 unlimited plan at a discount of $4 per month to our senior customers. The 12/1 100GB is also an exclusive offer available to seniors.

Each plan features nbn® internet + home phone plans with easy setup and an Australian-based, helpful support team. Whether you use the internet a little or a lot, we'll be able to find the right plan for you.

If you have any questions, you can call our friendly team on 1300 880 905 and we'll be happy to assist.

We have a range of plans for pensioners, whether you're using the internet a lot or just a little.

• Seniors 100GB + Casual Home Phone ($50/month) - This plan gives you 100GB of data (uploads and downloads). It's a pay as you go plan and you don't need to pay excess usage fees if you exceed the 100GB of data.

• Seniors Unlimited + Casual Home Phone ($55/month) - This is a pay as you go plan, giving you unlimited data (uploads and downloads) and great rates on local, interstate, mobile, international calls, and 13 and 1300 numbers. Going with an unlimited nbn® plan could give you great value if you use a lot of data or want peace of mind that you won't go over your data limit.

• Seniors 100GB + Everyday Phone ($60/month) - With this plan, you'll get 100GB of data (uploads and downloads) with unlimited calls for local, interstate, and Australian mobiles. You'll also enjoy great rates for International calls and 13 and 1300 numbers. You don't need to pay excess usage fees if you exceed the 100GB of data.

All of these plans come with the nbn® basic evening speed (nbn® 12/1), with typical evening speeds of 11Mbps (7pm - 11pm). This is ideal for very basic internet use, emails, social media, and web browsing. The numbers just refer to the upload/download speeds.

If you're streaming movies, you might be better off with an nbn® 25/10 plan which has typical evening speeds of 25Mbps (7pm - 11pm). If you have any questions about finding the right plan for you, contact our friendly team on 1300 880 905 and we'll be happy to assist.

We do not have any standard connection fees for our nbn® services. If you are in a new housing development or opt to have a new line connected you may be liable for an additional charge as dictated by the nbn®. This will be displayed before confirming your order.

Most Australians will have to move their phone across to the nbn® since the old landline infrastructure will be switched off 18 months after the nbn® is available in their area. You can keep your existing home phone number by porting it onto our home phone plans but you'll need to connect your phone handset via your modem. This just means using your broadband connection (rather than a standard phone line) for your phone service.

If you have more than one phone line into your property, you can have nbn® on one line and keep your landline on the other. However, this landline will still be shut down in 18 months from the time the nbn® went live in your area.

When switching to the nbn, you will have to port to VoIP. This is because your landline will stop working once your copper line is being used for the internet. If you have any questions about using your phone service on the nbn®, contact our friendly team on 1300 880 905 and we'll be happy to assist.

You'll need an nbn®-ready modem/router.

You don't need to buy one from us to sign up with us but we can provide you with one. View the NetComm NF20MESH modem/router here. You might need other types of equipment depending on the modem/router you own. We'll let you know if you do. In the meantime, if you have any questions about equipment, don't hesitate to contact our friendly team on 1300 880 905 and we'll be happy to assist.

Also note, some devices will need to be registered with nbn® directly such as medical alarms, monitored fire alarms, and lift emergency phones. Other devices to consider are security systems, fax and teletypewriter devices, EFTPOS terminals, health claim terminals, and existing landline phone services. To register your devices visit the nbn® website.

If there has been a previous nbn® connection at your premises the standard time frame is 1-5 business days and there will be no additional work required by a technician.

If your address has not been connected to nbn® before the standard time frame can be anywhere up to 20 business days and is dependent on your nbn® access technology type and technician availability. Your nbn® access technology will determine the exact method of installation for your technician.

For connections to premises that are already connected to the nbn® via FTTN/B or HFC technology there may be a small period of downtime when switching providers.

For connections to premises that are already connected to the nbn® via FTTP or Fixed Wireless technology, another port on the already installed network termination device will be activated in addition to any other active ports, so there should be no down time.

WiFi is the signal that lets your devices connect wirelessly to the nbn®/internet around your property.

nbn® is the National Broadband Network that connects your property to the internet. For most properties, this happens via lines of cable or other types of wiring under your street.

A third type of connection is wireless or mobile broadband, which uses the same type of mobile network you use to access the internet via your smartphone (3G, 4G, or 5G).
