      they have ultimate plan 1000/50 for $103.95

      • +17

        With typical evening speed of 250mbps? No thanks! Lol.

        • +25

          All I can say is that for the 1 month I was with AusPost my peak speeds didn't drop below 850ish in the very worst case.

          2 examples - https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/4e541415-571a-4da5-bc9c-b… and https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/26ee152d-3db0-4203-a566-a…

          The reason why I left is that all V4 traffic is hauled back to their CGNat equipment in Mel/Syd, none of it is handled in their local Perth POP. IPv6 traffic did stay local though. The same would apply for any other state apart from VIC/NSW.

          For $104 it was a bit of a bargain apart from the crap routing. Probably something you'd put up with in the eastern states.

          In the case of Launtel and ABB gigabit NBN plan can easily pass 850mbps mark busy hours. I usually get ~900-970.

          Of course we all know those retailers don't cut the corners that much. You never know how other retailers' strategies are.

          TES is a meaningless number. Set it too high, and get fined by ACCC. Set it too low, and people like you won't buy. What a complete waste of time forcing that into existence was.

      Such service should be considered basic necessity and should be free.

      • +21

        I'd argue having electricity is more important, and that's not free either.

        I don't think this "every basic necessity should be free" is the best of arguments. Adds too much complexity (eg how much is free? What tier is free? Etc)

        • -4

          Silly notion. The last thing we need is giving more control to woefully inefficient government to waste our taxes on.

        • +10

          I think that if we have better standards for things like Internet, we wouldn’t have to pay (that amount) for 12/1 in year 2023. It’s so low that could be free like freetoair is. Also, having better housing standards with minimum requirements for energy rating would mean that households wouldn’t have to have aircon for hours when it’s too hot or too cold outside.

          It’s kinda laughable that Australia has such low quality Internet and also that South Australia has a higher rate of deaths from extreme cold compared with the northern European nation of Sweden, according to new research from the University of Adelaide.

          Another study: https://theconversation.com/cold-weather-is-a-bigger-killer-…

          “ Avoidable deaths

          A big clue that these deaths are avoidable comes from comparing the size of the problem between countries. In Sweden, cold caused an estimated 3.9% of deaths, whereas in Australia it caused 6.5% (that’s one in 15 deaths).

          How can it be that the often-freezing Sweden has fewer cold-related deaths than the mostly balmy Australia?”

          • +1

            @ALBastru: I’m not saying this is the reason and I didn’t read that study so I might be pointing out a dependency the study has controlled but perhaps because Sweden has seen much more colder days, they (as a nation) are better equipped and educated to deal with the cold?

            It’s like looking at fatalities from the 2011 Christchurch NZ earthquake and earthquakes in Japan with magnitude of 6.3 or greater. Japan has less fatalities (excluding the 9.1 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 as the death toll from that was mainly from the tsunami). And it’s like saying how can Christchurch have so many fatalities for a 6.3 magnitude earthquake where if you look at all the earthquakes in Japan from 2010 till now between magnitude 6.0-8.0, none of them have had a fatality higher than 50, in fact most are in single digits.

            In this case it’s because Japan has a long history of earthquakes so their infrastructure is better equipped and the people are better educated about how to respond to earthquakes.

              @YeboMate: You don’t need to have negative temperatures to legislate that wind shouldn’t blow in a house. And you need to legislate something when the opposite is a norm. Aussie houses that some call tents are so bad and use a lot energy and that affects everyone. Think of all the extra CO2 pushed into atmosphere because the poorly insulate homes.

              I try not to say anything about cars sold in Australia.

          • @ALBastru: Why is your ping so high?

          • @ALBastru: I don't think it's a fair comparison, you're talking the entire country of Sweden vs one state with barely 2 million people.

            • @Jaxy: There are studies that compares countries and Australia has more deaths per capita due to cold weather but I can’t find it. Do you think it is normal for the wealthiest country in the world to have one of the worst Internet in the world and some of the poorly insulated homes in the world?

              Like I wrote earlier: having better standards would benefit everyone: lower power bills, better quality of life, healthier people able to innovate.

          • +1

            @ALBastru:

            How can it be that the often-freezing Sweden has fewer cold-related deaths than the mostly balmy Australia?

            Because "Power used to be really cheap so Australian houses were basically designed as winter tents that you could pump a whole lot of energy into during winter and warm them up"
            https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-15/why-are-australian-ho…

            Australian houses have historically been built poorly whereas often-freezing Sweden has built houses to keep the freezing temperatures out

        • +1

          Electricity has a material cost, adding a few low income homes to a prexisting network doesn't.

        • both should be free

          I don't think this "every basic necessity should be free" is the best of arguments. Adds too much complexity

          the complexity of an argument is irrelevant as to its quality or validity

      • +1

        agreed. good luck getting a job or even paying/completing many basic life admin tasks without the internet. (think paying a bill, internet banking, learning for kids/uni) a 25/25 service should be free, with higher tiers (think 50/50, 100/100, 500/500, 1000/1000) being a paid extra for those who need it.

        • i was on 12/1 when i reluctantly signed up for nbn. was actually not that bad but once i started doing cloud back-ups, i needed a bit more upload speed. not that the 25/5 is mind-blowingly fast either

    • +2

      not long ago I paid ~$80 for ADSL: 2/0.5
      So 12/1 looks decent in comparison!

        Not long ago remerber TPG offer 100GB for only $89.99

        • +2

          Optus cable, my only option, was something like $95/mo for 12GB of peak data and 24GB of offpeak. I think the speed was 10/0.5.

          Meanwhile it was unlimited for $65/mo before that, but with no competition, they just upped the price and lowered the service.

          They also had Netstats, some incredibly vague amount, that if you went over, they cut off your internet.

        • I remember the evil empire giving me a massive 300 megabytes for $30 each month on their prepaid.

      Why not spintel? Also, call Exetel now, they require a 30 day cancellation notice.

      • Can you send them an email giving them notice?

        • +3

          Possibly. I ended up calling and was quite polite, gave them a chance to counter but couldn't come close to $49 (6 months) for 100/20. They did offer $10 off my current plan with them. Ended up asking to cancel and managed to get the 30 day time-frame waived. I couldn't see an obvious online form to fill out through their website, there's no live chat either but I suppose you could email them.

          • @J4ckal: They offered me $10 off…. if I signed up for 12 month plan..

            • +1

              @Catsfan070911: Was the same for me. For what its worth they seem like a decent company, no speed issues, ability to change ip at no extra cost and can boost speed for 24 hour intervals were all features I didnt expect to utilise as much as I did.

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/740946

      • Any idea if it's possible to opt out of CGNAT?

      Bad news is that it is not Aussie. Unifi is showing it as B2B Wholesale Pty

          Sure, will do.

          The first 20 minutes have been fine. OH on messenger video call, 1 streaming YouTube, 1 streaming Netflix and all good.

          The key for me will be weeknights between 5pm and 10pm. I have a lot of work video conference, mostly Webex but some Teams and zoom. I switched from Aussie to Origin about 12 months back and the first couple of months when Origin were still with Optus was a nightmare. I was just about to move back to Aussie when Origin switched to using Aussie.

      • Origin must have changed since the start of the year. I was with Origin and they used ABB then as their supplier. Even the cust service call went straight to ABB. Strange

      They are 1 of Australia's largest Brand Names so diversifying can actually be extremely profitable for the business.
      Also, they have a HUGE customer base of people who still physically go and pay bills in store, so their window of customers spans much further than many other brands who would never get to these customers.
      In most business cases Australia Post, Coles, Woolworths all our major brick and mortar stores have very large opportunities to grow into areas you wouldn't expect them to fit.
