O.P.

Hey Guys,

Just letting you know that we’ve reviewed the inclusions of some of our current plans and have made some changes we think you’ll be very pleased with – including the data inclusions! ;)

The changes mean that many of our existing Cable & DSL Direct plans will receive much larger data usage allowances from 01/12, just in time for the holiday period!

This info will not be updated on our homepage until early next week so here’s a bit of a sneak peak for you guys!

If you’re on one of the plans below there’s no need for you to do anything, as this change is going to happen automatically from 01/12. These plans will also be available for new customers who wish to sign up.

$69.99 up to 500GB (was 170GB) bundled with Home Phone:

Connection fee on a 24 month contract will change from $99 to $79 as standard; however we’re waiving the connection fee for a limited time only!

Data usage allowance will change from 85GB / 85GB to 250GB / 250GB.

If you exceed your peak or total monthly data allowance, access will be speed limited for both peak and off peak to 64kbps until the end of the billing month.

$69.99 up to 500GB (was 170GB) bundled with Post-Paid Mobile:

For those that are currently on the $109 or $129 Fusion plans and are currently paying for the World Saver bolt on, send me your info via our online form and I will remove these for you.

If you’re not currently on one of these plans but would like to switch and take advantage of the new data allowances from 01/12, you can change by entering your details @ www.optus.com.au/rateplanchange or if you’re already on one of our latest plans (April 2010) you can change through Member Services @ www.optuszoo.com.au

The plan change website is going to be updated on Monday morning & this is when our Customer Service guys are going to be able to make changes.

So, please don’t call through over the weekend requesting to change onto this plan as they won’t be able to process this :)

Existing customers will not need to start a new contract to change to one of these new plans. If your service is currently in contract it will continue as normal.

The Premium Speed Pack for cable services is available on these plans for the current pricing of $20 per month or $15 when you’re eligible to recontract for 12 months. We’re reducing the connection fee for new customers by $79 for 24 month bundles with Telephony or Post-Paid Mobile for a limited time only to celebrate our new plans. Upgrade fees for existing customers still apply.

If there’s any questions relating to the new inclusions or discounted connection fees please do not hesitate to ask and we’ll do our best to answer!

The guys in our Broadband Marketing team asked me to wish you guys a very happy holiday! :D
