Hi,
My 50/20 Superloop connection has expired under the promo price of $54.95 for 6 months, and is currently $74.95 / month now.
I am considering moving to either Mates 100/40 [$79], however leaning towards Tangerines 50/20 [$59.90] for 6 months.
Older posts re: Tangerine have been quite negative, however have found a few sparse good posts recently.
Is anyone in a similar circumstance or heard good things about Tangerine as an ISP?
Thanks!
You get what you pay for
I literally shake my head when i read generic things like that. NO you DONT get what YOU pay FOR, you GET what they CHARGE you.
One that sells 1000 apples a day sells cheaper than one who sells 10 apples a day
A company that has 1000 retail stores sells more expensive than a company with no retail stores
Please stop generic things like that, it's cringey
I ve flipped providers everytime their 6 months deal runs out, didnt notice a difference in terms of performance (except for Mungi which was horrible for me). On Superloop now and cant say its any different to AussieBB before, which wasnt any different to Tangerine before lol. Anyway, they dont have a contract and a 14 day money back guarantee so no harm to give them a try.
Is there any significant downtime when switching ISPs?
Nope never got any downtime, I usually give it 3 business days before my next month's rollover just in case
That's awesome. Thanks mate, I'll do the same then when my 6 months is up :)
If you want good speed and reliable go leaptel.
I’m with tangarine after leaving Aussie BB. No issues at all.
I can vouch for tangerine, ABB, Superloop, and currently on Launtel (not sure if you've considered these guys but they have the early adopter promo).
I'll vouch for them too, been with them for about a month and haven't had an issue, speeds have been consistent. Let's see what happens when the NBN remove their current capacity discounts.
Awesome, thanks all for the comments
Will migrate to Tangerine when SL runs out
just signed up to tangerine last week after a ridiculous fail by optus migrating me from cable to NBN. So far so good, on the 50/20 plan and no issues so far, generally about 45/18.
Hey OP, how did you go about swapping seeing as Superloop is paid a month in advance? Wanting to swap to ABB from Superloop to take advantage of current Click Frenzy deals (and my original Superloop 6 month promo is about to expire), but not sure how to organise it so I'm not losing money from paying a month in advance.
Any promotion for ABB?
I'm trying "TANGERINE" out at the moment and I was not expecting too much as they are currently one of the cheapest.
I churned over to Tangerine about 2 weeks ago from "SUPERLOOP" who were faultless but a little bit expensive. One thing I really liked about "SUPERLOOP" was that they gave you a weekly percentage chart of the CVC usage for the NBN node you are connected too.
With Tangerine I'm on FTTN with the 25Mbps plan unlimited data for $49 a month for the first 6 months which then reverts to $59 after 6 months. So far every thing seems to be ok as I was connected within 2 days of signing up and I was only off the air for about 20 minutes . I used my own Modem which I had to reconfigure to PPPoE and input a Username and Password to work which was pretty straight forward. My speeds have been fairly consistent at 23 Mbps at all times of the day and night which is the same I was getting from "Superloop" . My connection is using the NBN node at Albury "2ALB" which seems to have enough CVC for that NBN node.
Mod: Removed referral code
Please note that my experience has been fine at 25 Mbps connected to "2ALB" Albury but it could be a different experience at higher speeds and on different NBN nodes depending on how much CVC they have on that Node. Since my FTTN is only capable of 35 Mbps max speed it makes it pointless for me to sign up for anything higher than 25Mbps.
Done
Had Tangerine when I first got my NBN connected, on their 100/20 plan. It was pretty unreliable, never fully disconnected but speeds would drop to at least half what it should during peak times. Switched to ABB after a few months and haven't had any issues since.
I've thought it might have been teething problems since my NBN had just been connected (and not Tangerine's fault), but haven't been bothered to try.
I did the superloop to Tangerine…..wish I hadn't
Just transfer Superloop to Tangerine
200% Happy with it
My guess is acutally our Asquith Depot doesn't have too much preasure.
Currently speed 50M: 47.9M/17.2 1pm
And something I concerned is true, the international connection has some differences.
Superloop:120ping - NordVPN Jp
Tangerine:150 - NordVPN Jp
I can say…. still acceptable.
I'll keep testing to see any congestions.
I know this is a very old thread I'm with SL atm and I switched from ABB about a year ago I still have the ABB supplied Netcomm router. When I switched from ABB to SL it went through nearly instantly and I did nt need to touch any settings in my router it just connected. I'm considering switching from SL to Tangerine to try them out will my router auto connect without any configuring? Like the ABB to SL churn.
sure
What's more important to you? Saving tenner or having a reliable internet connection with unthrottled bandwidth? If latter, stick to Superloop or hop to Aussie Broadband when they do offers. You get what you pay for.
