The end-user costs of connecting to the National Broadband Network are 
now a bit clearer after the announcement of three commercial providers 
for the first retail connections to NBN in Australia. 

These are iiNet, Internode and Primus who which will offer high speed 
broadband in Tasmania.
 
An iiNet spokesman said yesterday the minimum plan for superfast fibre 
optic broadband would be $49.95 (per month), with a download limit of 
five gigabytes. 

At the other end of the scale, the highest amount that Tasmanians will 
pay is $159.95 for 90 gigabytes of download and speeds of up 100 Mbps -- 
20 times faster than current speeds in Tasmania. Internode -- another of 
the three providers -- offers similar prices with more speed and download 
options.
