I am looking to switch my in-laws to a new NBN plan. They still use their landline heaps and want unlimited calls in order to avoid bill shock later on. They aren't big internet users so I think NBN25 would be fine. They have a pension concession, but I can't find any places that will offer a discount for that.
Right now, I think the 2 best options are
ABB - 84/month for NBN25 + unlimited calls
Optus - 75/month for NBN50 + unlimited calls + $200 start up fee
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Per T's comment,
Plus, My line speed gives me 12 down as a max no matter what plan im on and its fine. Dumb NBN FTTN

You can BYO modem router but you'll need to chat to customer service to tailor a package and to obtain nbn & VoIP credentials from tech support.
$200 setup fee with Optus no way.
Go with Telstra or Aussie Broadband seniors plan. No setup fee.
Aussie Broadband seniors, NBN12 + unlimited calls for $64.
They will probably be perfectly fine with NBN12, unless they are streaming multiple video streams simultaneously.
