Optus Business Broadband Revamp: Lower Prices, Enhanced Value, and Streamlined Plans

Optus has officially rolled out a major revamp of its Business NBN broadband plans, introducing lower prices, more value, and simplified choices to better serve Australian businesses. The refreshed lineup is designed to provide small business owners with enterprise-grade connectivity and premium features at more accessible price points.

A Smarter Approach to Business Connectivity

The new Optus Business Broadband plans retain all the core features businesses rely on — high-speed NBN connectivity, built-in 4G backup, and Wi-Fi 6 modem support — but now at reduced monthly costs. Each plan includes priority service levels with rapid fault restoration, ensuring businesses stay online when it matters most.

This update directly targets cost-conscious small business owners who need reliable internet without the premium price tag.

Bundle Bonus Program: Added Value for Businesses

As part of the revamp, Optus continues its Bundle Bonus Program, offering a $15 monthly discount for 12 months when customers add additional eligible services. This discount applies to both new and existing Optus business and consumer subscribers, extending extra value across bundled products like mobile broadband or voice services.

“At Optus, we’re all in for small businesses,” said Emma Jensen, Vice President of Small Business at Optus. “Connectivity is the backbone of every business, and that’s why our new Business nbn plans deliver business-grade speeds, prioritised fault restoration, and built-in 4G backup for further resiliency. Whether you’re running a café, managing a retail store, or working from home, our plans are built to keep you connected when it matters most.”

Simplified Plans and Enhanced Data

In addition to lower prices, Optus has simplified its broadband portfolio — reducing the total number of NBN plans from nine to five for businesses and nine to four for consumers. This streamlined structure makes it easier for customers to choose the right plan without getting lost in complexity.

The refreshed plans also include enhanced data allowances across connected devices, ensuring faster and more consistent performance for modern workplaces.

Business-Grade Features and Performance

Optus Business Broadband plans come packed with premium features designed to maximize uptime and productivity, including:

• High-speed NBN connectivity with faster upload options on select tiers.
• 4G backup via Wi-Fi 6 modems, providing seamless business continuity in case of NBN outages.
• Dedicated 24/7 business support, offering access to expert assistance anytime.
• Robust Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guaranteeing 4-hour or 12-hour fault restoration, depending on plan tier.
• Optional static IP for businesses needing consistent connections for hosting, remote access, or point-of-sale systems.

These enhancements make the new Optus Business Broadband plans ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that depend on continuous, reliable internet service.

Pricing Overview and Modem Options

While Optus has yet to publish updated official pricing on its Business website, current promotional offers suggest that the new Business NBN plans will continue to provide competitive rates.

Key details include:

• Free modem when connected for 36 months (otherwise approximately $300).
• $15 Bundle Bonus discount for 12 months with eligible service add-ons.
• Speed caps and availability depending on NBN connection type — HFC, FTTN, FTTC, or FTTP.

This pricing structure maintains flexibility for different business setups while ensuring affordability.

Consumer Plan Enhancements

Optus has also introduced changes to its consumer NBN plans, reducing the options to four streamlined tiers, each bundled with high-performance Wi-Fi modems.

Key upgrades include:

• Mobile broadband data boost to 30GB for $25/month.
• $20 monthly content credit for streaming subscriptions through SubHub.
• Automatic speed upgrades for eligible HFC and FTTP customers from September, at no extra cost.

These improvements reflect Optus’s broader strategy to simplify plans, boost value, and improve customer experience for all users.

Conclusion

The revamped Optus Business Broadband lineup delivers on three key promises — lower prices, greater reliability, and simplified options.

With business-grade speeds, prioritised fault restoration, 4G backup, and flexible bundling discounts, Optus is positioning itself as a top choice for Australian small businesses seeking powerful yet affordable connectivity.
