    In Thailand for 299Baht ~$10 per month you can get unlimited broadband at 1000/300 or 500/500. Why broadband is very expensive in Australia?

        Has always been expensive, well before NBN was a thing.

        The reason is massive areas to cover with low population density which makes things cost significantly more to achieve a reasonable ROI.

        Obviously labour, safety and other regulatory requirements are vastly different in Aus vs Thailand as well.

        • Nickbag on 15/03/2023 - 15:36

          Earlier tech was not there. Now even developong countries has high speed countries.

          • The Hobo on 15/03/2023 - 17:20

            @Nickbag: My point is that it is significantly more expensive to deploy these techs in a country like Aus with low population density.

            Another factor is that the NBN need to provide internet at the same price, regardless of where in Aus you live.

            This means that metro users are subsidising the cost of someone living thousands of km's away in the middle of nowhere.

            They also cannot choose to just not provide nbn in certain areas.

            This is not a requirement in most other countries, where providers cherry pick where they want to provide, or have different pricing schemes depending on location.

      In Thailand an average wage, 15000Baht ~ $650/month. But in Australia the average wage is $7500/month. You can't expect to pay the Thailand living cost and getting Australia wage in Australia.

      • Nomoneynotalk on 15/03/2023 - 10:25
        +3

        I think the average wage is less than $7500 /month. Let say about 10x the wages, then about $100 we should able to get 500/500, but it is $319 for 500/200. Over 30 times the price. The price for a iPhone is more in Thailand, a lot of computer products are about the same price with Australia.

        • dtingy on 15/03/2023 - 10:31

          please see the average wage from abs.
          all apple pricings are controlled by them. so this is not a good comparison. how about grocery or staple food comparison.
          what i want to say is if we want to pay the nbn price like Thailand then be prepared to receive the wages like Thailand.

          • Nomoneynotalk on 15/03/2023 - 10:48

            @dtingy: According to https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?cou…

            Cost of milk 1l is 56B($1.80), Woolworths $1.60
            Loaf of bread 46B($1.50), Woolworths$2.35.

            There is no doubt that cost of living is cheaper and wages is lower in Thailand. But 30 times, that’s 3000%

            A computer parts are about 5-10% cheaper not 3000%

            • dtingy on 15/03/2023 - 11:02

              @Nomoneynotalk: ok you win and i lost…. anyway you still need to continue paying whatever xxxx% if you want to stay in australia. lol

              • Nomoneynotalk on 15/03/2023 - 12:42

                @dtingy: Let’s hope that one day, internet access is treated like cost of living and prices are more competitive.

                In the meantime, me stay in Oz with my below average wage.

              @Nomoneynotalk:

              Cost of milk 1l is 56B($1.80), Woolworths $1.60

              Asian people typically use very little cow milk, so it's probably a speciality product over there. Here it's almost a food staple, and sold at loss-leader prices.

              So the price of milk isn't a fair comparison.

                @Russ: Good points

                Rice (white 1kg) 41.27B($1.37), Woolworths $1.40

                • Russ on 17/03/2023 - 13:55

                  @Nomoneynotalk: Thailand is the world's second-largest exporter of rice, so that may be linked to the export price of the rice, the same way we're paying "world price" for gas.

                  There are plenty of varieties of rice sold for far higher prices, so I think you've found another loss-leader at Woolies.

                  • Nomoneynotalk on 17/03/2023 - 14:50

                    @Russ: I think you are right, rice shouldn’t be that expensive in Thailand.

        Cost of deployment and number of people served. Doing stuff here is expensive, and we have very low density. So where say 1km of fiber may connect 1000 people in some countries, it only connects 100 here.

      • imranauz on 15/03/2023 - 17:13

        $7500/month is not average wage. Internet in Australia is expensive because of first Telstra monopoly and new NBN monopoly. Just look how much NBN executives talk home.

      Over twice the population packed into a tiny fraction of the area with nearly the same GDP…. Australia costs so effing much because its so thinly spaced out population over such a large area.

    I haven't checked their prices in a while, but I thought it used to be cheaper.. like its $99 now for nbn 100/20. With a $10 discount that just takes it down to the regular price of many other providers.

      They're trying at least.

      I like ABB and Launtel are at least trying to make prosumers happy by providing features that most other NBN reseller won't provide (proper and predictable IPv6 stack, more detailed information on maintenance or emergency, power user debug options, more flexible/play on NBN wholesale pricing model, and go on).

      I blame those and I'm being lazy as the reason I'm stay on ABB. (well I did enjoy in total ~12mth worth of discounted prices when between I move in the past 2 years, so…)

        • Switchblade88 on 15/03/2023 - 12:17

          ABB is (was?) definitely a premium provider.

          Anytime I had an outage I had in-depth, detailed updates about what was going on - things like that the SFP connector in the nearest POI had failed, and a tech was enroute from Sydney with the replacement within 4 hours.

          It was also really good to be able to talk to a competent tech within 2 minutes of picking up the phone - I could immediately explain my nonstandard issues (like the ABB auth servers not accepting my newly swapped router) and they could immediately understand and purge my cached data to fix the problem. I'd have to spend half an hour with anyone else to try and get those kind of complex problems fixed.

          I'm not sure if they have changed in the last couple of years, but Superloop was cheaper so I haven't swapped back to ABB recently to verify.

    Australia internet price is simply expensive…
    Comparing to Hong Kong or Singapore, people enjoy much faster speed with much lower price.
    I know there are difficulties in the rural area, due to the cost of infrastructure, but at least the big cities… It is like lagging for 10 or 20 years comparing to those.

    Seems most providers ive delt with (except ones that only have one pop in australia) all have similar performance so the Aussie broadband premium $ is not worth it and just seems like a good way to get their share price up, I only use them when moving into a new house for their customer support then leave once its setup

  • agentsmith1999 on 15/03/2023 - 14:12

    Someone pointed out that Origin is using CGNAT that made me search if ABB is using CGNAT too.

    *"Why is Aussie Broadband changing to CGNAT?

    Our current pool of IPv4 addresses has been consumed and acquiring more gets exponentially more expensive each time, resulting in issues with scalability. Aussie Broadband has opted to use CGNAT as a method to share the current unique public IPv4 addresses that we own to multiple customers, helping extend the life of IPv4 within our network while IPv6 is still being deployed. IPv6 is still being adopted throughout Internet and is not a solution on its own at this time."*

    *"What are some things that may not work with CGNAT?

    There are some things that may depend on NAT and its features to work, this is services related to port forwarding and may include:

    Servers: Web Servers, Email Servers, File servers and so on.
    Home Utilities: Security Cameras and systems, home automation, Printers
    Remote Access: Access to computers or devices remotely"*

    What are other reliable providers that don't use CGNAT? On TPG right now which doesn't seem to use it, but I'm keen to try other providers as the speeds have been really choppy for past couple of months.

    • bargainpersona on 15/03/2023 - 15:15

      Lower down on that page you likely copied that text from it states you can opt out of CGNAT.

      How do I Opt-Out?

      If you have a valid reason and need to opt-out of CGNAT you can call our technical support staff on 1300 880 905 and we can opt-out your service. Opting out of CGNAT will result in your unique public IP address changing unless you have a static IP applied to your service. If you have a static IP address you do not need to opt-out and will not be part of CGNAT.

      From what I have heard, a "valid reason" is that you need to do something that CGNAT will prevent you from doing.

      • agentsmith1999 on 15/03/2023 - 17:03

        My concern would be all the home automation and security cameras that I have setup will have trouble working properly as they mention in their possible list of issues. I don't want to switch and then find out my reasons to opt-out are not considered valid.

          When I was with ABB many years ago I started experiencing issues with online gaming (the game I was trying to play wouldn’t even connect online). Found out ABB had introduced CGNAT, gave them a call and told them I can’t game online and they took me off. I’m sure telling them your security cameras are having issues is a valid reason

        • Twix on 15/03/2023 - 19:40
          +2

          Telstra, Optus and TPG don't use Carrier Grade NAT. Many other ISPs are using Carrier Grade NAT by default to save on cost. There are some ISPs that allow you to turn Carrier Grade NAT off or pay extra for a static IP.

          Automation and security cameras are valid reasons to turn off Carrier Grade NAT. It says so here.

          Home Utilities: Security Cameras and systems, home automation, Printers
