In my experience (We have been on NBN fixed wireless for a couple of years now and I periodically check) Telstra are pretty much the most expensive for NBN plans and typically provide limited flexibility.

I just checked again now and the basic plan with the same data allowance that we have now is $25 per month more than we are paying and that is for half the speed, I could not be bothered drilling through the sales website to see what they charge extra to go to the same speed profile we are on now. I though that incremental fee disclosure was frowned on by the ACCC?

And then for a month to month plan they charge an up front $120 for the privilege (Go get stuffed) and a further $89 for a "Self install" (See the previous) AND it comes forcibly bundled with a home phone and if you cancel that within 3 months they slug you an extra $100 (Same response as above)

Telstra only get my money for my wife's mobile (Mine is work provided) as despite the well publicised network failures this year they pretty well still have undeniably the best network and a cheap plan is no use if you can't make or receive calls.
