Opticomm FAQs

If you've just moved into an apartment building in a metropolitan area — say, Sydney or Melbourne — and you've been restricted by your new building's connection type, you may be able to connect to one of the best Opticomm internet plans.

While most new Australian homes and apartments use fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) connections, not all are serviced by the National Broadband Network (NBN). Instead, select properties are serviced by privately owned fibre networks, which require you to sign up for NBN alternatives to connect to the internet.

There are several private fibre network providers in Australia, with one of the biggest being Opticomm, which runs its own grid of fibre optic infrastructure. Opticomm’s network can deliver theoretical speeds of up to 1,000Mbps, matching the current fastest speed offered by the NBN.

Opticomm is predominantly found in newly built homes and apartment buildings with networking infrastructure installed during construction, rather than rolled out as part of the NBN.

Opticomm offers the same speed tiers for the most part as the NBN, but there are some limitations to what tier you can purchase based on your location, preferred provider and modem. A notable point of difference here is that not all ISPs provide Opticomm plans – we've included a list of those that do in the FAQs below.

We've rounded up some of the best Opticomm fibre internet plans, each categorised into different speed tiers.

Best Opticomm Fibre 50 plans

Swoop | Opticomm Fibre 50/20 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$69p/m using code UB15 (for 6 months, then AU$84p/m)

Advertising maximum speeds of 50Mbps/20Mbps, Swoop's Opticomm 50 plan has been slashed to just AU$69p/m for the first six months using code UB15. Do note, though, that the minimum cost for this plan is AU$168, as it includes an activation fee of AU$99. And in order to sign up for the plan, Swoop's team must qualify if your address is suitable.

If you're able to connect to Swoop, though, you'll be in luck as this plan throws in a modem at no added cost, which is a nice touch.

Total minimum cost: AU$168 | Total first year cost: AU$918 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,008

Exetel | Fibre 50 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$75p/m (for 6 months, then AU$87p/m)

Exetel's Fibre 50 plan is very similar to its NBN 50 plan, in that both plans reach full maximum speeds of 50Mbps and give you the option to bundle a phone line if you so choose. Where the plans differ, however, is in price, with the Opticomm offering being AU$3p/m more expensive than its NBN counterpart during the first six months. But comparably, Exetel's prices for Opticomm plans are hard to beat.

This plan did increase in the past month, so it's not the most inexpensive option anymore. If you want to maximise your savings on the Opticomm 50/20 tier, we'd suggest signing up for the Swoop plan above.

Total minimum cost: AU$75 | Total first year cost: AU$972 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,044

Best Opticomm Fibre 100 Plans

Superloop | Fibre 100/20 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$82p/m (for 6 months, then AU$95p/m)

Superloop makes an appearance here in the Fibre 100 category, thanks to its attractive introductory offer. Despite the plan going up in the past month, you'll still save AU$72 before the price increases to AU$95p/m.

While it's not the cheapest option available, Superloop's speeds clock in at 100Mbps — the theoretical maximum for the tier — during the busy evening hours.

Total minimum cost: AU$82 | Total first year cost: AU$1,062 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,140

Exetel | Fibre 100/20 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$82p/m (for 6 months, then AU$95p/m)

Exetel's back as a viable option for Opticomm 100 plans, with its offering advertising full 100Mbps downloads during the typical evening hours. Much like its Fibre 50 plan above, you'll save AU$78 over the first 6 months, and you can bundle a PAYG phone line for no extra cost.

Now, you may have noticed that this plan costs the same as Superloop — in fact, all Exetel and Superloop Opticomm plans have the same prices as they are sister companies. We've picked Superloop as our top choice for a 100Mbps plan, as the telco has received better ratings on Product Review than its companion.

Total minimum cost: AU$82 | Total first year cost: AU$1,062 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,140

Best Opticomm Fibre 250 plans

Superloop | Fibre 250/25 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$95p/m(for 6 months, then AU$109p/m)

Superloop's superfast Fibre plan costs the exact same as its NBN offering, providing incredible value for some seriously fast speeds. Reaching a typical evening speed of 250Mbps, this plan will more than satisfy any heavy internet users, including gamers, streamers and video callers. And with a total of AU$84 off in the first 6 months, it's a damn good deal too.

Total minimum cost: AU$95 | Total first year cost: AU$1,224 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,308

Aussie Broadband | Opticomm 250/25 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$119p/m

Advertising 249Mbps downloads and 16Mbps uploads, Aussie Broadband's Opticomm 250/25 plan comes in at AU$119p/m ongoing. Now, AU$119p/m may be expensive for the average Joe — trust us, it is — but ABB's lack of an introductory rate is favourable here, as it ends up being cheaper than Swoop's plan, which costs AU$1,458 in the first year.

You can also bundle a home or mobile phone line alongside your service, starting from AU$10p/m. ABB is highly rated among gamers and heavy internet users alike, so if you find your current provider is lacking in those areas, it could be worth the switch.

Total minimum cost: AU$119 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,428

Best Opticomm Fibre 1000 plans

Superloop | Fibre 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$105p/m (for 6 months, then AU$115p/m)

With the second-highest speed claim of 860Mbps, Superloop's deal on its Fibre 1000 plan is hard to beat. With similar speeds and price tag as its NBN counterpart, there's sure to be a similarly fast experience for Opticomm customers.

This plan did increase by AU$6p/m, in line with other Superloop plans, however, it still offers some seriously good value for money.

Total minimum cost: AU$105 | Total first year cost: AU$1,320 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,380

Aussie Broadband | Ultrafast Opticomm 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$129p/m

Reaching the fastest speeds currently advertised for an Opticomm plan, ABB's Opticomm 1000/50 plan claims a massive 875Mbps during the evening hours. This mindboggling speed is enough internet for seven or more users with multiple devices, lag-free video calls and UHD/4K streaming.

The only caveat here is that it comes with that premium ABB price tag, even with the added discount, so if you think you need that Aussie level of service, this is the Opticomm 1000 plan we'd recommend.

Total minimum cost: AU$129 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,548

Opticomm FAQs

Which are the best Opticomm internet providers?

There are more than 50 Australian internet providers that service Opticomm connections. Here are our top picks:

• Aussie Broadband
• Exetel
• Superloop

Are there any ISPs that don't service Opticomm properties?

Yes — surprisingly some of the best NBN providers don't provide plans for Opticomm connections. These providers include:

• Buddy Telco
• AGL
• Dodo
• SpinTel
• Kogan Internet
• Optus
• TPG
• Vodafone
• Tangerine
• More

How do I know if my new property has Opticomm?

If you're not sure if your new apartment or home has Opticomm equipment installed, Opticomm has a handy address checker that can confirm if your property is on the company’s private fibre network. Once confirmed, you can navigate to a list of internet service providers that provide Opticomm connections.

That said, you will need to confirm your address again before signing up for your chosen provider, as some Opticomm ISPs don't service all areas, and some locations may have capped speed tiers.

As someone with an Opticomm connection, during my recent move, I had to chop and change providers as my chosen ISP did not service my area, despite having Opticomm plans. This may not be the case for you, but the advice still remains to double-check with Opticomm and your service provider before signing up for a plan.

Is Opticomm better than the NBN?

Opticomm plans do have the potential to provide faster speeds than the NBN, but it depends on whether the fibre network is available at your address. Before considering an Opticomm plan, make sure your property has Opticomm equipment installed.

At the time of writing, Opticomm fibre internet plans are only available to residences that had the network installed during their construction, or if the network is scheduled to be rolled out in select areas. There is currently no option for existing homes or apartments to install the network.

What Opticomm speeds do I need?

Opticomm offers the same speed tiers for the most part as the NBN, but there are some limitations to what tier you can purchase based on your location, preferred provider and modem.

Opticomm 12 (Basic I):

An Opticomm 12 plan will only get you 12Mbps downloads and 1Mbps uploads. We wouldn’t recommend signing up for this tier unless you're a light user only using the plan to check emails and do some minimal browsing.

Opticomm 25 (Basic II):

Opticomm 25 tier gets you 25Mbps downloads and 5Mbps upload. It’ll suit one- or two-person households, allowing you to use the internet at the same time and stream video in HD.

Opticomm 50 (Standard):

Opticomm 50 provides up to 50Mbps downloads and 20Mbps uploads, which is great for up to 4 users. You can stream in HD at the same time, play games online and make seamless video calls.

Opticomm 100 (Fast):

Opticomm's fast plan (100Mbps downloads and 20Mbps uploads) is best suited for 4+ users, with multiple devices. You can stream in up to 4K, play online games without lag and download large files.

Opticomm 250 (Superfast):

Opticomm's superfast equivalent houses speeds up to 250Mbps downloads and 25Mbps uploads, which is perfect for heavy internet users and larger households alike. You can do basically anything you wish online – from streaming multiple videos in 4K to downloading huge files.

Opticomm 1000 (Ultrafast):

Much like the NBN, Opticomm's ultrafast tier is theoretically the fastest internet speeds possible in Australia. Reaching up to 1,000Mbps download speeds and 50Mbps upload speeds, these plans are no joke. That said, there is a big difference in typical evening speeds on this plan, with most providers averaging around 650-850Mbps across the tier.
