Customers can avail new plans of 120GB, 150GB and 170GB are available for a price of $59.99, $69.99 and $79.99, while the speed of download is shaped to 64kbps. Entry level naked DSL plan’s prices have been cut off largely and charges for excess data has been taken off for users who exceed their monthly usage limit.

Unlimited plans of Optus starts at $99.99 for a 15GB data per month. Users can download at a speed of 256Kbps after download data limit exceeds.
Optus customers are attracted by the two key features of the company, more data and more transparency. Bryan Optus marketing manager said that, “We first launched these plans with our existing customer base and talked heavily with them about what we wanted to do and what they wanted us to do. We looked at some of the key concerns about what they wanted out of broadband.” He also quoted that, “revamped plans follow a wide-ranging consultation process with our customers.”

Based upon the survey by uSwitch.com a price comparison site, most of the internet providers have failed to provide quality customer service. These day customers are not satisfied with the mere broadband service offered by the companies, but are expecting additional facilities such as IP telephony solutions, high-definition video streaming and on-demand television service.

An UK based broadband comparison site said, “Consumers now expect more from broadband as they are using more and more sophisticated internet service.” High band width services such as VoIP telephones and internet television services are expected by regular broadband subscribers
Philips product director of broadband choices.co.uk said that, “broadband companies could be clearer about what services they are offering”. Also he added that, “consumers would have a more realistic idea of what to expect from their broadband connection if ISPs were more conservative in their marketing”.

Regular usage of VoIP phones could save more money as well as the economy of the nation. High tech internet providers would provide the latest internet services and can get back the complete satisfaction of customers.

FCC plans to redefine the policy and protect the broadband consumers, the future of the broadband will be guarded by the new policies. There are more chances of a battle to explode between the telecom companies and federal regulators.
Scott the policy director of Free press said that, “This policy could determine whether the FCC really has the power to act on its broadband plan.”

Popular telecom companies such as AT&T Inc, Verizon communications and other big players will fight out legally in the court battle to find out who’s the cyber boss. Representative of AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner Cable Inc. and leading industry groups  Genachowski said that, “any move by FCC would be a profound mistake with harmful and lasting consequences for consumers and our economy.”

Scott quoted that, “It seems clear that the FCC will decide that its experiment with classifying broadband as an information service has failed and that they’ll revisit the earlier decision, moreover he added that, “Because of the court ruling, telecom companies now hold all the cards,” he said. “If the FCC does anything they don’t like, they can just go back to the courts and say that the agency doesn’t have the authority to do it.”

Let us wait and see who is going to win the battle, whether FCC or giant telecommunication players.
