I just noticed that my speeds have increased from 100mbps to 250mbps without any upgrade request from me; I checked on Whirlpool and others seem to be reporting the same thing.
Email I got:
Hi [name],
With more people working, studying, gaming, and streaming it's important to have fast internet that delivers a great experience. We're excited to let you know that for a limited time we've upgraded your internet speed by giving you the Superfast Internet Add-On to your Premium Internet Plan at no additional cost (usually $30 per month) for the next 6 months.
The Superfast Internet Add-On has the potential to more than double the download speeds of your current plan's nbnTM Premium Evening Speed – the Superfast Internet Add-On has typical download speeds of 230Mbps (7-11pm).
Speeds experienced may be lower due to various factors, including in-home set up and wiring. For ordinary/personal domestic use.
What's next?
You don’t need to do anything as we've already applied this upgrade so you can start enjoying your upgrade at no additional cost for the next 6 months.On your next bill, you will see both the current Superfast Internet Add-On cost of $30, together with a discount applied for the Superfast Internet Add-On's full cost. This will continue for the next 6 months. Find out more about nbn internet speeds here. If you move to another plan during this period, the upgrade will no longer apply.
We will be in contact to notify you of when your free upgrade is due to expire. At that time, we will provide you with options to keep the Superfast Internet Add-On or automatically go back to Premium Evening Speed.
Damn I moved from NBN100 to NBN250 on Telstra a fortnight ago so I would have just missed this deal and got it for free. Although I am tempted to move to NBN 1GB/s though as Telstra sent me an offer to get it for $130
