Telstra Raises Internet Plan Prices by AUD 4-10 From July 1, Citing NBN Costs

From July 1, 2026, Telstra will lift prices on selected home and small-business internet plans, with most affected NBN services rising AUD 4 to AUD 5 a month.
The carrier said the increases reflect rising data demand, continued network investment needs and higher wholesale charges from the National Broadband Network.
Telstra's Premium 5G internet plan will jump AUD 10 a month, its first price increase since the service launched more than five years ago.
The move adds to cost pressure for broadband customers as Australian telecom operators balance heavier network usage against infrastructure and wholesale expenses.
