Dave said, &#8220;The telco industry has delivered confusion disguised as control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Way too many plans and too much jargon. And not fast or simple enough. Exetel is changing that today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dave stated that Exetel is aiming to eliminate the complexity of promotions, tiers, and package differences commonly seen across the sector, in order to offer a &#8220;fast, reliable&#8221; alternative.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you see through all the plans and promo periods and that whole game of intentional confusion and you just want fast, reliable internet \u2013 this is for you. It&#8217;s 80 bucks. 500 Mbps. No gimmicks,&#8221; said Dave.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Exetel, &#8216;One Plan&#8217; is immediately available for all eligible Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) customers. The company confirmed it is removing all previous plans, creating a single pathway for residential users seeking high-speed connectivity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No hidden changes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dave emphasised that the flat rate comes with no &#8220;promo periods&#8221;, and that customers would not experience automatic price increases after the first few months \u2013 a practice that has attracted criticism across the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One Plan is everything you&#8217;ll ever need and nothing you don&#8217;t. Of course, if you like that kind of thing, you can game some extra perks \u2013 Refer a Friend, where you and your friend both get $1 off your monthly bill for as long as you both stick with us, &#8216;Warp Speed&#8217; upgrades to 1GB speed, TES 811\/42 Mbps for a day for an extra $1, or the ability to Hibernate your internet while you travel. But all you really need to know is that it&#8217;s fast, reliable, good value internet,&#8221; said Dave.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add-ons and flexibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under the &#8216;One Plan&#8217;, customers are offered additional features such as a Refer a Friend programme, which provides each participant with a AUD $1 monthly discount while both users remain active. Another option allows users to pay AUD $1 for a one-day upgrade to 1 Gbps download speeds. Additionally, customers can temporarily suspend, or &#8220;hibernate&#8221;, their service while travelling, providing flexibility for those who travel frequently or for extended periods.<\/p>\n<p>Exetel said that these options are designed as supplementary offers, but the core promise of the plan is to deliver straightforward, good value high-speed internet access.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry position<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Superloop has positioned itself as a challenger in the Australian telecommunications sector, seeking to disrupt existing norms in plan structure and service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Colman, Chief Marketing Officer at Superloop, described the approach as part of the group&#8217;s ethos: &#8220;At Superloop, we pride ourselves on being actual disrupters and genuine innovators. Our people are motivated by a common ethos: we work harder for our customers than anyone else. And that&#8217;s not a slogan in an ad \u2013 that&#8217;s our internal core belief.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Colman added, &#8220;We don&#8217;t just copy what everyone else is doing. We lead. And that&#8217;s what a super internet provider does \u2013 matches the energy and the &#8216;anything is possible&#8217; attitude of the internet and goes and invents better ways of delivering what our customers want \u2013 fast, high-speed, reliable internet full stop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Exetel, the new plan is available immediately for new and existing eligible customers, marking a shift away from multiple plan options and promotional discounting within the Australian internet market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exetel, owned by Superloop, has replaced its range of broadband plans with a single product offering for FTTP&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3161],"tags":[3454,643,89669,89666,3082,89668,28803,89667,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-227722","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-australia-australian","9":"tag-broadband","10":"tag-fibre-to-the-premises-fttp","11":"tag-hybrid-fibre-coaxial-hfc","12":"tag-internet","13":"tag-internet-service-provider-isp","14":"tag-service-provider","15":"tag-superloop","16":"tag-technology","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114774701948908711","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
