Their plans are now based around data volumes.

Even when I log into my Telstra account, the details of my original NBN contract have changed to just a "medium plan" no mention of the 100Mbps I signed up for.

And today this, well well:

Just had a look at the new pricing structure, a more realistic way of portraying the service for the average user in my view. They offer peak time speed boosts, my guess is those speed boosts are achieved by applying a Quality of Service (QoS) through the complete Telstra network your data travels on, sorta like a dedicated lane for you in peak hour traffic as opposed to throttling users.

In reality I suspect they still have the speed tiers:

standard - peak 15mbps/off-peak 22mbps (25mbps originally)
boost 1 - 30/45 (50mbps)
boost 2 - 60/90 (100mbps)
