Serviceability: Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee connection until we successfully install your service. We do not offer Priority Assistance. A provider who does is Telstra. Important Information for Cable & nbn™ Customers: Equipment supplied requires mains power, which may not be suitable if you have a serious illness or condition, require disability services, have a back-to-back alarm, or require an uninterrupted telephone line. If this is the case, contact us and we’ll help you find an alternative solution. We do not support battery back-up functionality for nbn services.
Speed & Video Quality: Many factors affect speed and video quality such as internet traffic, your line condition, your hardware and software, the data source or destination, your location and the number of simultaneous video streams or other downloads you have running over your connection.
Fetch: Fetch use requires an active fixed broadband internet connection with a download speed of at least 3.5 Mbps, and a widescreen format TV. To receive free-to-air TV service an external antenna connection is required. Optus recommends that existing Optus Fetch customers who use Fetch Mighty/Gen2 should connect to the Optus $90 Plan . Fetch is for personal viewing in Australia only and must not be used for commercial use.
If you are purchasing an Optus broadband service with Fetch included, delivery of the Fetch set top box may take longer than the activation of the internet service. New customers will receive a Fetch Mighty when they select the Optus $90 Plan. Existing customers signing up to the Optus $90 Plan who already have a Fetch Gen2/3/Mini box included in their previous Optus broadband plan may retain their Fetch Gen2/3/Mini box and will not get another Fetch box. Existing customers with a Fetch Gen2/Fetch Mini can upgrade to the Fetch Mighty (Gen 3) device at no extra cost. Buying content gives you a non-transferable right to use that content, provided you maintain your Fetch service.
Fetch set top box: Optus owns the set top box, and you must return it following cancellation of the service. Fees apply for late return or damage to the set top box. You may only use the recording functionality of the service for viewing programs at your nominated home address at a more convenient time.
Fetch Multiroom: services available to new or existing Fixed broadband or Postpaid Mobile customers on selected plans in selected homes only. Fetch requires an active fixed Internet connection and download speed of at least 3.5 Mbps and a widescreen format TV. To receive free-to-air TV service an external antenna connection is required. Maximum three Fetch STBs per household. Content quality can be affected by equipment content location, network congestion.
Data usage: If you connect your Fetch set-top box to an Optus broadband service, data usage generated by Netflix, Stan, purchase and/or download of content will be zero-rated.
Other data usage such as downloads, and uploads associated with software updates, applications, games or the downloading of content via Free-To-Air catch up services and YouTube will not be zero-rated. This may result in your broadband service being throttled if you are very close to your data limit if applicable.
If you connect your Fetch set-top box to any other broadband service apart from an Optus fixed broadband service, all data usage will be charged, and those charges will depend on your broadband service provider and plan.
Buying TV and Movie content provides you with a non-transferable right to use the content, provided you maintain your Fetch service. If you cancel your Fetch service, you will lose any purchased content.
Fetch Channels: All channel packs are month to month and can be added or removed via the Fetch set top box. Billing for channels is taken in advance for 1 month. No refunds if cancelling or changing within billing period. Access remains active for deselected channel packs until end of billing period.
Calling bolt ons and speed: Calling bolt ons and speed packs are month to month and can be changed at any time. Changes to service will take place 24-48 hours after the change is requested. Charges for the bolt-on will be pro-rated so customers will only be charged until the date it is cancelled and they may receive a prorated credit for any amounts paid in advance.
Optus Sport: Personal viewing in Australia only. Content and features vary by device and sport. Sport coverage is available as long as you remain on an eligible plan and Optus has the rights. Optus Sport is a month-to-month subscription, which will continue until you cancel your subscription, or you move to an ineligible plan. Where your plan includes Optus Sport at no additional cost, your bill will show a $14.99 charge and corresponding credit.

Optus is Australia's second largest telco and a trusted name in Australian internet. In recent years, Optus has put a large emphasis on "content", and snapped up the rights to the English Premier League and other sporting events. While the telco still offers basic broadband packages, Entertainment bundles are now Optus' biggest point of difference in an increasingly crowded NBN market.
Optus' flagship NBN plan includes Optus Sport and Fetch TV subscriptions.
Optus Sport is an Optus streaming service specialising in sports. It includes the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
Fetch TV is a premium television service that essential competes with Foxtel. Much like Foxtel, you have the option of picking from packs that give you access to select channels. On the Optus top plan, you'll get a Fetch TV Mighty set-top box and one Premium channel pack. Additional channel packs can be added for $6 per month, or you can grab all of them for an extra $14 per month.
Fetch TV's Premium channel packs are as follows:
If your home isn't currently connected to the NBN, Optus can connect you with an ADSL2+ or cable internet service and then switch you to an NBN plan whenever your home becomes NBN ready. Optus' entertainment offerings are also available on ADSL2+ and cable connections.
Optus has two main NBN plans. Both plans include unlimited data, and Standard Plus Evening Speed (configured on NBN 50).
Optus’ basic plan is just internet, while its top-end option also includes entertainment. It is configured on NBN 50 (40Mbps typical evening speed) and if you want faster speeds you can upgrade to NBN 100 (80Mbps typical evening speed) for additional $30/mth. You also get a Fetch TV set-top box with one premium channel pack subscription, and an Optus Sport subscription.
Optus NBN plans are available on a 24-month contract or on a month-to-month basis. You'll pay $200 in upfront costs if you want to go the month-to-month option. If you choose a 24-month contract, you'll pay only in upfront set-up fees $99.
To find out if you're eligible for an Optus NBN plan, first check your address in our broadband search engine. If Optus is listed in the search results, congratulations: you're able to make the switch.
Once you've picked the plan that works best for you and your family, you can place an order directly with Optus by phone, in-store, or online. Optus will help you to organise an installation date and time, plus take care of transferring any current broadband plan you may have over to their own NBN service.
Optus will provide you with an NBN-ready modem as part of your plan.
Another important thing to note: while installation is free for most customers (excluding the upfront costs you'll pay on a month-to-month plan), if you're located in a newly developed area with no existing telecommunications infrastructure, you may be charged a $300 New Development Fee by NBN Co.
How fast are Optus NBN plans?
Optus only sells plans configured on two NBN speed tiers: NBN 50, and NBN 100. You can read more about NBN speeds here.
What are my data options?
All of Optus' NBN plans come with unlimited data.
Do I need to buy a new modem to sign up to Optus?
If you already have an NBN-ready modem or router that is suitable for your technology type, you can use it with any Optus NBN plan. Optus plans do however include pre-configured, ready-to-use modems.
What happens if I want to cancel my Optus NBN plan?
The maximum cancellation fee on an Optus 24-month NBN contract is $451. These fees decrease during your contract period.
Can I get Optus Sport without being an Optus customer?
Yes. If you're not an Optus customer, you can still subscribe to Optus Sport for $14.99 per month. Subscriptions are included free, however, with select home broadband and mobile phone plans.
Do I own my Fetch TV set-top box?
The Fetch TV set-top box included with Optus plans is property of Optus. If you cancel your Optus NBN plan, you will need to return your set-top box to Optus.
Do Optus internet plans include calls?
Optus NBN plans include a phone line with unlimited calls to standard local, national and mobile numbers at no extra cost. If you want to make other calls, you will be charged at pay-as-you-go rates. However, you can add an international call pack with unlimited calls to landlines in 25 selected destinations and mobiles in 7 selected destinations for an extra $10 per month.
