Interesting, but how will this affect the price for end users? There are other fees charged to the ISPs too?
I am suspicious because NBNco only mentions wholesale pricing in this article, not end user pricing. They would have modelled it and then chosen not to talk about it. They might not technically be the entity finally billing you, but they're responsible for strong and direct impacts on what users pay.
I would expect it to be the same as now with pricing dependent on the ISP. You'll likely still have to do the 6 months / 12 months churn to get the best deal.
I'm not certain if it's still the case, but the announcement earlier this year stated the upgrades were being undertaken with no increase to wholesale costs: https://www.nbnco.com.au/corporate-information/media-centre/media-statements/nbn-plans-to-accelerate-highest-speed-tiers
That's also not to say that the retailers don't increase their pricing independent of the wholesale pricing.
