While most Australian homes and businesses get online through an NBN connection, over half a million premises connect via Opticomm fibre internet instead. If your home or office has Opticomm instead of NBN, you'll need an Opticomm plan instead of an NBN plan.
While not every internet provider sells Opticomm plans, many trusted names like Aussie Broadband and Superloop offer Opticomm in addition to NBN. In this guide, we'll look at the Opticomm providers with plans in the WhistleOut database, as well as a few other major options.
Before we start, here are the most popular Opticomm plans with WhistleOut users in the last seven days:
Opticomm plan providers
There are over 50 providers that sell Opticomm plans, here's a quick breakdown of some of the bigger Optimcomm providers we feature on WhistleOut.
Superloop
Superloop is known for fast plans at affordable prices, and the same holds true with its Opticomm offering. For example, Superloop charges $69 per month for the first six months of a 500Mbps Opticomm plan (with typical evening speeds of 500Mbps), and $95 per month thereafter.
Superloop's Opticomm plans are eligible for bundle discounts when you add a mobile plan. You can save $5 per month if you add a Superloop prepaid plan to your account, and a further $2.50 per month for each additional plan. This maxes out at a $15 per month discount. Superloop mobile plans are powered by the Telstra network.
Here are Superloop's Opticomm plans:
Origin
Origin sells Opticomm plans as part of its internet business, offering a $10 per month discount for customers who bundle with any of its electricity, gas, hot water, or LPG plans.
In addition, Origin will currently give all new Opticomm customers 5,000 Everyday Reward points.

Aussie Broadband
Aussie Broadband has built a reputation as one of Australia's most trusted internet providers, winning the telco category of Roy Morgan's Trusted Brand Awards several years running. The awards look for brands that have reached "outstanding levels of trust" across 20 categories, and only consider those that have low levels of distrust.
The telco's 100% Australian-based support almost certainly contributed to the win, and while Aussie Broadband plans tend to be a little more expensive than competitors, it could be worth the premium for anyone looking for a reliable provider.

Telstra
All Telstra Opticomm plans come with its Smart Modem, that gives you 4G backup in case your internet goes down. Download speeds are capped at 25Mbps, but that should still be fast enough for most online activities.
In addition, Telstra Opticomm customers earn Telstra Plus points by paying their monthly bill, which can be redeemed for various gadgets in the Telstra Reward Shop.
iiNet
iiNet is another well-known internet provider that offers Opticomm plans. Its selection is smaller with just three speed options of 25Mbps, 50Mbps and 100Mbps.
While it doesn't have any introductary discounts it does charge a lower activation fee of $79.
Launtel
Launtel is a Tasmanian provider that has a unique approach to price with its Opticomm plans. Rather than paying a monthly fee, you'll pay a daily rate instead. This means you can change speed tiers whenever you want, rather than committing to a speed for the entire month.
Launtel also lets you put your Opticomm plan on "standby" where you're charged a reduced rate of $1.20 per day if you're not actively using your service. You won't have any connectivity when your plan is on standby.
Some smaller Opticomm plan providers include:
- Airtel
- Bloom Broadband
- Bendigo Telco
- Clear Communications
- Leaptel
- Occom
- Pentanet
- Quokka Net
- Swoop
- Uniti
Internet providers that don't sell Opticomm
While many internet providers offer both Opticomm and NBN plans, there are a good number that don't. If you're looking for an Opticomm plan, these popular providers aren't an option:
- Optus
- TPG
- Vodafone
- Dodo
- Tangerine
- More
- SpinTel
- Kogan Internet
- Buddy Telco
- AGL
What to consider when picking an Opticomm plan
All Opticomm providers are reselling access to the same service. No matter which you pick, you're using the same infrastructure to get online. As such, the main factors you'll be comparing are price and speed.
Price
As with NBN, Opticomm plans come in speed tiers. By and large, these tend to be identical to NBN speed tiers. You can pick between 25Mbps, 50Mbps, 100Mbps, 250Mbps, 500Mbps or 1000Mbps. The faster the speed, the more expensive the plan. For most households, a 500Mbps plan should represent the sweet spot between speed and value.
Speed
Providers also report typical evening speeds on Opticomm plans. These are the speeds you can expect during the busiest parts of the day. These tend to be pretty consistent across speed tiers up to 100Mbps; you should get close to maximum speeds at all times on these plans.
There's more variance when it comes to 250Mbps and 1000Mbps plans. Superloop reports typical evening speeds of 860Mbps on its 1000Mbps plan, while Aussie Broadband's are faster at 865Mbps. Some providers don't even offer these faster plans.
Discounts
In some cases, there may be bundling extras. For example, Superloop gives you a $5 per month discount if you bundle a mobile plan with an Opticomm plan.
Origin will give you a $10 per month discount if you bundle your Opticomm with any of its electricity, gas, hot water, or LPG plans.
