Optus do not have a $60 plan for the NBN. Their $75 plan does not include phone calls or a Fetch. It’s also only a 50Mbps nominal speed which is half what you have now.
Note:
$60 on competitors NBN plans will provide only basic 12Mbps speeds, no included calls and no Fetch. EG Aussie Broadband - Basic 12 Mbps $59pm. Your neighbour seems to have a deal no one else can match if it is high speed NBN, calls and Fetch included.
It does look as if the NBN for existing Optus cable customers is a backward step. I wonder if Telstra cable customers suffer the same fate?
P.S.
Not the only NBN rip off with customers paying more for less. Optus and Telstra have similar issues. It is the Government owned NBN Co that is responsible for setting the base costs for each service speed. There is little Optus can do. The ACCC also knows and as often happens has not remedied.
