00:00At the time, we said we should do it right, do it once and do it with fibre.
00:04Household internet bills are set to climb again, with NBN Co revealing a new round of wholesale price increases for July 2025.
00:12The rise will affect what retailers like Telstra, TPG and Aussie broadband charge, with flow on costs expected for consumers.
00:20While the increase is smaller than last year's $3 to $5 monthly spike, it comes as a blow to Aussies in rural and regional areas,
00:27already paying high prices for often unreliable service.
00:31The average NBN bill now sits at $84 a month, according to Akan, the nation's peak consumer group, and data demands are only growing.
00:38Customers hoping to avoid the jump are being urged to review their plans and switch before July,
00:43with introductory offers from switching providers possibly softening the hit.
00:48NBN Co has not released individual bill forecasts, but a full list of residential fixed-line wholesale price changes
00:55is available on its website and encourage consumers to shop around.
