Today, amaysim offered up a quick preview of its range of NBN plans. The three plans will cost $60, $70 and $90 for unlimited data and 12/1Mbps, 25/5Mbps and 100/40Mbps, respectively.

For comparison's sake, Telstra currently offers 1000GB at 100Mbps for $135 per month and Optus offers unlimited data at 100Mbps on $130 per month.

Each plan comes with unlimited data, meaning you will only pay extra if you're opting for a higher-speed tier. There's also no lock-in contract or setup fees and customer's have the option to bring their own Wi-Fi modem or purchase one outright from amaysim.

    Doesn't seem that competitive compared to MyRepublic as they have 100/40 unlimited for $60/month. The 25 + 100 prices are the same at Exetel but 12/1 is $55.

    • easternculture on 27/02/2017 - 16:40

    • Make it so on 27/02/2017 - 16:47

      Agreed. I chose an early-exit fee from Exetel to sign up with Myrepublic (a week before Myrepublic extended the offer date :( ). Myrepublic provides an AC1600 modem/router for $1, which is quite decent. And a 12-month contract is not too bad.

      • lostn on 27/02/2017 - 18:33

        I would sign a 24 year contract with them if it was the only way to lock in the price. They will eventually jack it up. I'm just not sure if us early adopters are going ot be grandfathered or not.

      MyRepublic has signed too many customers so the contention is already up crap creek. I don't know a single person with them that's happy with the service. My mate showed me a 1Mbps speedtest the other night and said it happens most nights.

      So glad I'm with Telstra and never seen dipped speeds away from 100Mbps ever. Bit extra cash (I pay $114 for 1TB with 100Mbps), but 100% worth it in my opinion.

      Wonder how Amaysim go in the marketplace.

      • quop on 27/02/2017 - 17:36

        Yup I had some sub 1Mbps tests, as did a relative in the same suburb also on MR. It was pretty crappy for a few days but we logged faults with MR. Not sure what they did on their end but we're both back on good speeds, which seem to be fairly consistent for the past few days. So you can count me as one person who's reasonably happy with MR's service :)

      • PeteM on 27/02/2017 - 17:52

        I'm pretty happy with MyRepublic so far, been happy with all my local speed tests and test to USA. Sure their customer service is non existent but I also signed up only expecting 50Mb/s. Here's a link to my speed tests from my FTTP service in Canberra.
        Given Amaysim resells Optus mobile services I'm betting they'll be sourcing there NBN access from Optus as well, just as MyRepublic do.

      • Captain Fuzzychops on 28/02/2017 - 09:37

        NBN service is provided by NBNco not by My Republic who is just the reseller. The reseller can throttle the traffic if it's faster than what you paid for. It would be similar quality NBN line no matter the reseller so just get the best deal you can.

    • [Deactivated] on 06/03/2017 - 07:35

      Myrepublic have been nothing but junk on a friend's fttp connection so I take their whole spiel about being better than everyone else with a grain of salt

  • railspider on 27/02/2017 - 16:37

    These prices seem pretty terrific - especially the lack of contract and free BYO modem.

    How are AMAYSIM as a company? I've never used their phone plans but they seem popular here on OzB

    • Make it so on 27/02/2017 - 17:05

      free BYO modem

      Haven't seen an ISP charge for bringing your own modem yet. No corkage charge :)
      MyRepublic lets you buy an AC1600 modem for $1, and for an extra $10 you can forego the contract.

      I use Amaysim for my mobile, and it's fine.

      • railspider on 27/02/2017 - 17:12

        $99 set-up/modem if you go month-to-month, but still a great price for 100Mbps, wow.

        As NBN is rolled out the real winners are people like me from a regional area (read: all of Tasmania) where ADSL prices are jacked up 2-3 times metro prices. Unlimited NBN at 100MBps with MyRepublic or Amaysim works out cheaper than the cheapest ADSL2 plan. Very appealing!

  • NigelTufnel on 27/02/2017 - 16:48

    Seems pretty good. Moving into a place in April that should have NBN HFC available.
    I'm a bit confused by the multi-tech mix requirements.
    Would I need to purchase a modem for this setup?

    I currently have a Archer D9, so no good as an HFC modem, but has WAN port.

    • quop on 27/02/2017 - 17:09
      +1

      My new HFC installation came with a cable modem supplied by the NBN technician. Hooks up to wifi router via ethernet.

      • NigelTufnel on 27/02/2017 - 17:24

        Sweet, thanks. Out of interest, what ISP did you end up going with?

        • quop on 27/02/2017 - 17:30
          +1

          MyRepublic. Had some teething issues but things seem to have stabilised, so I'm happy cos it's a huge improvement over the existing ADSL.

    • Magus on 27/02/2017 - 17:38
      +2

      Yes the MTM has added alot of confusion both with consumers and the RSP support staff.
      For HFC, nbn will supply a modem. It belongs to them (in case you move), not supplied 'free'.
      The good side of that is that nbn support (not your RSP) can see your line all the way into your house. This does allow some improved support options over FTTN (where they can see to the node only)

      D9 does have a WAN port, so you can keep using it. Decent gear.

      You will need to think about how you want to get a home phone. Remember with the HFC option, there is no Uni-V. If you are like my house with dead spots for both Optus and Telstra coverage, then a home phone is still needed.

      If you have alarm monitoring or medical devices, moving to a 3G.4G solution may be best, even though this is an extra ~10-20/mo for security, and up to 90/m for medical devices.
      Note that while many of these devices will happily work on VOIP, any support issues and you are on your own. The issue is that there are too many device options, configuration options both on device and ITSP and often no QoS marking. Add to that the power backup issues and that little johnny can be watching John Wick in 4k while updating some Steam games so Nanna's Medtronic cardiac upload fails.

      On the plus side, you should get connection at 100Mbps, with upstream of either 1 or 40Mbps, depending on how much they have reconfigured at the time. There is plans for node splitting (reducing contention) and DOCSIS 3.1 (potential for 1 Gbps), but both are time consuming expensive upgrades, so there may be delays.

      You are not allowed BYO modem, as one dodgy modem can lower bandwidth for all on that segment of coax, up to 200 users.

      Your overall experience will be impacted by local congestion and your RSP's CVC congestion.

    Unlimited means you can expect significant slow down during peak periods (typically 6pm - midnight). Quotas are what enable RSPs to sell plans at reasonable prices and maintain performance.

    I had no idea they did home broadband. The SIM in their name I thought was mobile only.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/02/2017 - 23:19

    MyRepublic has the same for $69.99 month to month. I don't believe the unconfirmed (and unlikely) assumption of their being no setup fees is really deal-worthy. Even if this is the case, MyRepublic still works out better after 5 months.

    • lostn on 28/02/2017 - 23:05

      I'm using MR. For me the speed has been great. But that is not everyone's experience. Some claim to get as low as 6Mbps.

      Not every ISP will perform the same.

      So for some people maybe MR is bad but Amaysim will be good.

      Impossible to know at this point.

      • [Deactivated] on 01/03/2017 - 00:03

        Have said people confirmed higher speeds with other providers? I've seen a lot of cases where NBNs network actually seems to be the problem (especially on fixed wireless, though also on FTTN).

        If this is higher speeds for them, sure, it's better than… But otherwise $20/mo (or $30/mo if you're fine with 12mo contract) is a lot of money. Even so, posting a deal on the assumption it's higher speed or the assumption there's no setup fee is still not much of a bargain IMO, even if it does show to be true.

        • lostn on 02/03/2017 - 22:33

          People with FTTP who switched to MR have reported a massive downgrade in performance compared to the previous ISP, yes.

          MR has been great value for me and others who got good speeds (for now). I'm just saying YMMV with MR, so don't take it as a universal guarantee that it will perform better.

  • coco1458 on 27/02/2017 - 23:37

    Yeahhhh Jan-June 2019 with whatever Fttc (Fibre To The Curb) is.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/03/2017 - 05:56

      Local exchange > Node > Curb.

      Currently it's my understanding there's only fiber to local exchanges (backhaul), with the rest being copper. From there it's currently ADSL to your house via copper. FTTN is fiber to the node, rather than switching to copper at the exchange - it's one step down meaning less noise and allowing for VDSL (theoritically). FTTC is two steps down - fiber all the way to the little distribution closets/etc on your street, usually <300m away.

      Tl;Dr: Your sync speed with FTTC should always be enough to max out NBN speed offerings, where as with FTTN users may see lower sync speeds than 100/40.
