2017 REVIEW OF BROADBAND PRICING

摘要

This is my tenth annual review of the retail broadband market in Australia. It is interesting to observe how the market has evolved since 2008 and to speculate where it could go next. In 2008 there were no unlimited plans and the maximum peak monthly download was 100 GB (TPG and Internode). Each of the top ISPs (BigPond, Optus, TPG, Internode and iinet) offered several plans with different data caps. Plotting these on a scattergram and estimating a best-fit (regression) describes the retail broadband pricing market.
