Half-year of discounted broadband puts retailers in a tight spot.
NBN retailers are choosing to pay from their own pockets to keep existing high-speed customers happy - or to lure such customers away from rivals - by matching a steeply discounted price offer not meant for either customer type.
The commercial response to NBN Co’s temporary 'Focus on Fast' rebate scheme - which has led to temporary price cuts on 100Mbps and above plans, but only for new sign-ups and upgraders from lower speed tiers - raises yet more questions about the scheme's design.
