Telecommunications provider Extel has become the latest company to announce its planned NBN pricing scheme, with an entry-level price of $34.50, almost half of the price released by Internode last week.

 

“As each day passes we are seeing competition in the retail NBN access market drive prices lower. This is great news for internet consumers,” Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Senator Stephen Conroy said.

 

The announcement by Extel comes as Dodo signalled it would offer another sub-$40 NBN Internet plan.

 

"I have been saying for some time that access prices on the NBN would be comparable to current prices and Dodo has shown that will indeed be the case," Senator Conroy said.
