Opticomm FAQs

Recently moved into an apartment in a metro city — such as Sydney or Melbourne — and you've found your new building's internet options are limited? You may need to sign up for 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 offers the same speed tiers for the most part as the NBN. As per Opticomm's latest wholesale report, the private fibre provider introduced three new tiers — 500/50Mbps, 750/50Mbps and 1000/100Mbps — which are similar to the NBN's recent additions. So far, only one provider that we monitor, Superloop, has introduced Fibre 500 and Fibre 750 offerings.

That said, 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.

Best Opticomm Fibre 50 plans

Superloop | Fibre 50 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$65p/m (for 6 months, then AU$87p/m)

As one of the best NBN providers, Superloop is also a great option for Opticomm properties. Knocking AU$22p/m off the first half year, you'll save AU$132 in total before the price increases to AU$87p/m.

Superloop has some pretty rave reviews on Whirpool, with users praising the great customer service, easy setup and low monthly costs.

Total minimum cost: AU$65 | Total first year cost: AU$912 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,044

Best Opticomm Fibre 100 Plans

Aussie Broadband | Opticomm 100/20 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$95p/m

Advertising 99Mbps downloads and 16Mbps uploads, Aussie Broadband's Opticomm 100/20 plan comes in at AU$95p/m ongoing. You can also bundle a home or mobile phone line alongside your service, starting from AU$10p/m. As a premium provider, you can expect to pay premium prices to connect to ABB's network, and it really shows with this plan.

That said, 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$95 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,140

Best Opticomm Fibre 250 plans

Swoop | Opticomm Fibre 250/25 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$114p/m (for 6 months, then AU$129)

We mention Swoop again here in the Opticomm 250 category, as it delivers superb speeds of 250/25Mbps. With the current introductory rate, you'll save AU$90 over the first year.

Do note though, that the minimum cost for this plan is AU$213, which includes an activation fee of AU$99 as Swoop's team must qualify if your address is suitable.

Total minimum cost: AU$213 | Total first year cost: AU$1,458 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,548

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 you're paying for excellent customer service, fast setup and connection times that comes with Aussie's premium network.

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 500 plans

Superloop | Fibre 500 | AU$69p/m (for 6 months, then AU$95p/m)

Reaching up to 500Mbps downloads and 40Mbps uploads, Superloop's Family Max Fibre plan is hard to beat. With a low introductory rate of just AU$69p/m, you'll save AU$156 total before the price returns to its usual AU$95p/m ongoing rate.

This plan costs the same as its 100/20Mbps plan; however, due to the recent speed boosts, the previous plan is unavailable for new orders according to Superloop's website. The 100/40Mbps plan remains available to order for new connections.

Total minimum cost: AU$69 | Total first year cost: AU$984 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,140

Best Opticomm Fibre 750 plans

Superloop | Fibre 750 | AU$89p/m (for 6 months, then AU$109p/m)

It’s a bit too early to have accurate ‘typical evening speed’ numbers for Superloop's new Fibre plan, but theoretically, it’s capable of 750Mbps downloads and 50Mbps uploads. Superloop's Megaspeed plan will net you AU$120 worth of savings in the first half year, before the price increases to AU$109p/m ongoing.

Much like the 500/50Mbps plan above, this plan has replaced Superloop's superfast Opticomm offering, and costs the exact same as the previous plan, but with 3x faster speeds.

Total minimum cost: AU$89 | Total first year cost: AU$1,188 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,308

Best Opticomm Fibre 1000 plans

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.

This current deal knocks AU$10 off the first six months, saving you AU$60 total in your first year. The only caveat here is that the plan comes with a premium ABB price tag, so if you think you need that Aussie level of service, this is the Opticomm 1000 plan we'd recommend.

Total minimum cost: AU$119 | 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
• Origin
• 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:

• Exetel
• 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.
