I know, right? It would be nice if they just opened up the symmetric plans at a reasonable price instead of paywalling them behind business plans.

I’m not certain if it’s still the case, but the announcement earlier this year stated the upgrades were being undertaken with no increase to wholesale costs: https://www.nbnco.com.au/corporate-information/media-centre/media-statements/nbn-plans-to-accelerate-highest-speed-tiers

That’s also not to say that the retailers don’t increase their pricing independent of the wholesale pricing.
