Clear’s new Sky Muster™ plans announced
All Clear standard Sky Muster™ plans have now been upgraded with over 50% more data.
In June 2017, nbnco announced that it would increase peak downloads by up to 50% and double the maximum plan limits on the Sky Muster™ satellite service.
What does this mean for Clear customers?
Our data upgrade has increased over 50% across all of our plans. Customers will be automatically upgraded to the new Sky Muster™ plan with more peak and off-peak data than their current plan.

Upgrades for current Clear customers
All those on current Clear standard plans will be upgraded to the larger plans for FREE. There is no need to update your plan or to request a plan change. From October 1 2017, you will be automatically updated to the new plan.
Education Plans
Currently there are no changes to the Education/Student Plans we offer, however nbnco has stated, “We will continue to optimise the pricing model and data plans of the Sky Muster™ service with further offerings on business and education services expected to be available in the next 12-18 months.”
nbnco’s Policy
On June 27 2017, nbnco announced that it “will be doubling the maximum monthly wholesale data limits and increasing average peak downloads plans by up to 50% on the Sky Muster™ platform.” Customers and businesses “are expected to receive large peak and off-peak plans at a similar cost to what they are paying today.”
For Clear customers, this means we can offer larger peak data allowances and larger total data allowances.
