Upgrade to Fibre Extra - remain on contract...

Hi there,
I am looking to upgrade to Extra as the 2Mbit upload speed is choking me. If I go to upgrade through member centre I am told the following:
"Change to this package and remain on your current 18 contract (5 months remaining)"
This seems quite clear to me. I can upgrade without agreeing to an 18 month term. Can someone on these forums confirm that this is the case? The guy on the phone told me that I would need a new contract. The small print doesn't seem clear on this issue.
Thanks,
Luke

Hello there @lukemcinnes and welcome to the community forums
I believe that upgrading from Unlimited Fibre to Fibre Extra would create a new contract, but from what your Member Centre is advising you it appears it'll retain the existing contract period.
Leave this with me; I'll look into it and I'll get back to you tomorrow.

@lukemcinnes I did that back in August and it didn't start a new contract. Here's what it says in the service notice when the upgrade took place...

Thanks both for getting back to me. I spoke with an advisor on chat and he assured me that I would not require to go onto a new contract and that it will only apply to the remainder of my current contract. That was reassuring and definitely goes in favour when considering how to proceed come contract end. For this reason I upgraded via the member centre (and saved my chat down in case!).
Happy to respond once I receive confirmation that upgrade has went through. Appreciate the input from both.
Thanks,
Luke

Sure enough I got a mail @ 01:52 confirming that the upgrade had taken place. This was not reflected in my speed test this morning but I will check again this evening once I am home from work.
Thanks,
Luke

Thanks for getting back to us Luke
I can confirm that your contract length hasn't been touched. Looking at the upgrade order with our suppliers it appears to have been pushed back by 24 hours. I'm not entirely sure of the reason, however, it is now committed for tomorrow.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Checked the line before work this morning and speed test was coming in at ~55/20 so something certainly happened during the night. Wonder if that download speed will creep up.
Anyway - looks like my initial question has been answered. I've been upgraded and remained on the same contract so thanks folks.
Luke
