The NBN upgrade went through over the weekend (see here: https://aussie.zone/post/23680848).

Some providers have switched plans over without customers having to do anything, but others might require you to select the new plan manually. (Those providers are no doubt banking on some people being unaware or forgetting to change - at least for a while - so they don’t need to buy as much back-haul bandwidth.)

New speeds for each tier:

You will, of course, need a fibre connection to actually get these speeds.

    Odd, the 100/40 plan was the original speed tier, but the NBN got rid of it a while back and everybody should have been moved to 100/20. The NBN then re-introduced it of course, but it’s relegated to “business” users, so it’s behind the “Pro” selector with Aussie.

    We’re writing to let you know that, unfortunately, from your billing cycle in November 2020, we will need to migrate you from your current plan NBN 100Mbps/40Mbps Unlimited ($99.00) to NBN 100Mbps/20Mbps Unlimited ($99.00) for the same cost of $99.00

    Whilst it is an upload decrease, the price will remain the same and your download speed will also remain the same.

    It goes without saying that we did not want to do this, but due to increased costs and the current NBN wholesale pricing model we have been forced to choose between congestion or higher prices. For a more in-depth look into the reasons why we were forced into this decision, click here.

    In the spirit of ‘No Bullsh*t’, we are actually losing money on a lot of our legacy plans such as yours. As a smaller provider, we can’t offer plans that are below cost price. Given the COVID situation, however, we’ve waited as long as we could to give everyone full advantage of our old pricing.

    We hope you choose to stay with us – if you do, your plan will change automatically from your November bill, and you don’t need to do anything else. If you’d prefer to browse all the plans available to you, sign in to the MyAussie app or have a look at the website.

    If you wish to stay on the 100/40 plan, for an additional $10 per month, you can select it within MyAussie or by calling our support team on 1300 880 905 at any time.

    That’s the email I got about it back in 2020
