Notable since not restricted to new customers this time.

Edit: Now locked down to New Customers only! :(

Due to misuse we've had to lock it down to our standard rules. You cannot use the promo code if you have a current service, or have disconnected in the last 6 months. If you are a new customer you're all gravy baby.

    There's still a first month free code working here on Ozbargain somewhere. I tested it a couple of days ago.

          I dont understand why the $10 off 6 months has so many votes when clearly 1 month free is so much better value and dont have to wait 6 months to enjoy the discount.

          • Jenny Death on 30/06/2020 - 22:51

          By doing this do you lose what you have already paid for the rest of the current month or do you get a pro-rata refund for whatever is remaining?

          • ctan7 on 30/06/2020 - 20:44

            @prxy: I'd think pro rata refund (the same as if you churn to another provider).

Would that work so every time one of us is the new holder, we are considered as a new customer? I'd rather do that instead of changing to other providers for 6 months and then coming back to ABB.

            It’s likely there is some rouge interference on your HFC segment.

            Raise it with NBN (through your provider), Godspeed.

    • limafoxtrot on 30/06/2020 - 20:29

      My personal experience is that Aussie has declined significantly in the last few months, and the last few weeks in particular. A few years ago - dropouts were extremely rare, perhaps once a year? Now - several dropouts in the last couple of weeks - most lasting a few minutes, but a week ago the service was out for a whole day. No indication of the outage on their service status page either. Not sure how much is related to increased COVID-19 work-from-home traffic, but if there's an indication of a more reliable ISP despite the current environment (the whole reason I went with Aussie in the first place was reliability/speed), I'm ready to churn over right now.

              +1

              @montorola: Yup it's very easy because you don't usually need any account settings in the router like with ADSL. FTTP/FTTC/HFC you just plug an ethernet cable from the WAN port to the supplied NBN modem. FTTN/FTTB will still use the DSL port.

        • mkylpz on 30/06/2020 - 21:49

          @spasto Thanks for the heads up.I have had some solid "pauses" in my ABB recently.

            +1

            @mkylpz: My router is indeed RT-AC68U. To confirm if you are affected by the dhcp issue, I would suggest logging on to your router when your internet access is down.

            Under “Network Map > Internet Status” or “System Log > General Log”, you might see an alert like “dhcp not functioning”. Note that you might see a different screen if you are using stock standard ASUS firmware (I’m on Merlin).

            I was getting this error several times per day for 3-4 months before finally moving to Superloop. At the time, ABB couldn’t help and there was no other workaround.

            • bumblebeetuna on 30/06/2020 - 22:11

              @spasto: Are you saying superLoop were able to help, or that the problem didn't exist on their network?

              I've been seeing this recently on my DSL-AC68U on Aussie broadband. ABB just want to watch the line for a day or two, tell me it's stable, then close the ticket. The snbforums you linked to seem to suggest it's device related.

              • spasto on 30/06/2020 - 22:27
                +1

                @bumblebeetuna: I have never had this issue with Superloop (12 months and counting - touch wood). I also had very similar experience to you while at ABB - hence I left after a while.

                The complaints on snbforums are regarding wan dhcp issues for ASUS routers only - predominantly with ABB. If you are currently experiencing “dhcp not functioning” with ABB, you might want to read the threads on snbforums as there are some positive workarounds now.

    The reason I haven’t moved from Telstra to AussieBB is they don’t have 4G mobile backup included in the plan.
    Most dropout and outages are due to NBN. And it takes time to have NBN Co to investigate and fix the physical issues. Free 4G backup sometimes is very critical in those hard days.
