          You don't purchase your own modem. nbn install the NTD box. Plugin your router to the nbn NTD box.

          • Averell on 27/04/2024 - 22:59

            @Twix: Oh, thanks.
            Will they charge for instlling the fibre and that NTD? Can I ask them to place it at the location in the house that I want?
            Thanks

            • MasterScythe on 27/04/2024 - 23:14

              @Averell: They wont charge.

              No, theyll place it at the most convenient entry point for them; if it needs moving you sort a cabler.

              • Averell on 28/04/2024 - 09:06

                @MasterScythe: But that's an optical fibre, isn't it? I guess it's not easy to move it around.

                  @Averell: Fiber can be spliced.

                  But usually youd just have an ethernet cable run to a convenient spot.

                  Up to you.

                  • Averell on 28/04/2024 - 09:53

                    @MasterScythe: Leaptel's page is misleading. They asked "would you like to include a modem", then they gave two options: eero6+ or TP-Link :-(

            • xmagic on 28/04/2024 - 01:10

              @Averell: If your NTD is not a fibre box already (white Nokia with 4 downstream ports) then you'll likely need to pay for upgrades to fibre to the premises. Or in a newly-build neighbourhood they charge a one-off $300 fee for the infrastructure (for the fibre box/NTD, fibre connection box on the external wall and fibre from the curb to inside of your house).

              If you're upgrading from FTTC to FTTP, check ISP promos and you may be able to save the $300 when on a NBN contract.

              • Averell on 28/04/2024 - 09:07

                @xmagic: Thanks. Let me talk to SP/ABB.

                @xmagic: The FTTN to FTTP and FTTC to FTTP installation is free. nbn FTTP link. The $300 nbn new development fee doesn't apply here.

            • Twix on 28/04/2024 - 11:16

              @Averell: No charge to install the fibre and NTD. Some installers will run conduit in the roof and some won't. If you want to run your own P20 conduit with a drawstring before nbn come over that will be at your own cost. You can ask but it really depends who you get. More info here.

      • Ozsurfie on 27/04/2024 - 20:17

        can any one tell me is eero a good option if moving to say leaptel or am i better off going with the TP link option ?
        what does eero do that makes it so special that it is being promoted by a lot of providers ? thanks

        • MasterScythe on 28/04/2024 - 09:44

          Mostly SQM.

          eero 5's use CAKE, eero 6+ use HTB.

          Word is, it disables on wan speeds over 500mbps (expect its a cpu limitation), so probably not worth it unless going the 250 plan.

      • xmagic on 28/04/2024 - 01:04

        I wouldn't go UniFi unless with the need of multiple APs, given I'm using UniFi (the full bucket) at the moment and very happy.

        For non-power users, ASUS is good enough.

    I've been on NBN 50/20 for a long time and realised recently after upgrading to 100/20 that I cannot get more 67ish Mbps at my place, plus I've been struggling with my IPTV content being slowed down and blocked at times, I've decided to move to 5G broadband now.

      Yeah same here.. last time I tried 100/40 I could get the 40 upload but the download was hovering around 80

      FTTP expected 2025 for me sigh

        • Averell on 27/04/2024 - 23:04

          I'm currently with Vodafone mobile broadband. Have been with them for 4 years, and thinking of jumping ship. The connection quality has been getting worse and worse since they introduced 5G at my place. I used to get 200Mbps 24*7 with 4G. When 5G came, it briefly gave me 250Mbps, and then gradually decreased. Now it's only between 40-60Mbps :-(

        When you can get 1000/50 for $99 with swoop, leaptel, superloop and many others who have equivalent performance to ABB, then it’s not a deal.

    Man I really wish we would get better upload. For me, going from 100 to 1000 download speed isn't that exciting, but I would pay to go from 17ish mbps upload speed to 100 in a heartbeat if it was these prices. Unfortunately it seems like the only way to get 100 upload speed is to get crazy expensive plans that are like 2-3 times as much :(

        For me it's for media playback. I have my own plex server that I share with friends and family, and being on 17mbps upload is brutal for that. Having 100 upload speed would make things so much better!

      +3

      Launtel do 250/100 for $137/month or 500/200 for $195/month. Expensive! You'd ideally want to be having it on as a business expense if you require that performance.

      • Opaquer on 27/04/2024 - 23:32
        +1

        Exactly, and while I really want to have 100 upload, it's for personal use and I can't justify spending more than twice what I'm paying now just to have more upload. I just wish we had better internet plans available like NZ where you can get 1000/1000 symmetrical speeds for like… $69/month from memory? Or if you're really crazy, you cns even go up to a symmetrical 8000/8000!

    • Viper8 on 28/04/2024 - 08:24

      NBN recently reduced high upload prices.
      At Leaptel, 250/100 is $120, 500/200 $150 and 1000/400 $230.

      The Ultrafast plan is proposed to change from 50mbps up to between 50-100mbps later this year (at no extra cost to retailers…).
      https://www.nbnco.com.au/corporate-information/media-centre/…

      I'm mostly interested in the Superfast 250/25 plan changing to 750/50. Even the Fast changing from 100/20 to 500/50 would do! Currently on 1000/50 which is overkill for me.

      This article summarises the changes better https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/why-nbns-new-plan-to-tur…

      NBN Home Fast, to move from 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) download speed to 500Mbps, and 20Mbps upload speed to 50Mbps.
      NBN Home Superfast, to move from 250Mbps download speed to 750Mbps, and 25Mbps upload speed to 50Mbps.
      NBN Home Ultrafast, to move from between 500 to 1000Mbps download speed to between 750-1000Mbps, and 50Mbps upload speed to between 50-100Mbps.

  • Snoots on 27/04/2024 - 19:54

    Leaptel would be a better deal for most people. Comparable performance and Australian based helpdesk if you run into problems. The fact that their new customer deal (1000/50 for $99) is for 12 months and not 6 months like all other providers makes it even more compelling.
    Superloop have a good network and are also a good choice for most people reading this post, but not necessarily the best choice for people who are less tech savvy and need help.

  • mrhugo on 27/04/2024 - 20:08

    Nice plans, but my aim is to stay around the 50M plans for as little as I can. Was on 250/40 as part of a FTTN trial and other than periods of downloading the 'internet' the connection sat idle.

    I've never in a rush and the big things I download now I won't get around to using for months, if a 70GB download takes 3hrs or 9hrs makes F all difference to me.

    I'm with superloop and have speed days (3 per month, unused rollover to a max of 30), which mean if I need to download 1TB I can just about do that in a day.

  • Thaal Sinestro on 27/04/2024 - 20:19

    The high end plans are dropping in price, but the proletariat plans like the 50/20 I am on are increasing. So unfair. A 300/100 plan in New Zealand (unlimited data) is around $73 AUD, the same cost as a 50/20 plan is this banana republic.

    And the high end plans here in AU are just for leechers, they have barely more upstream bandwidth than a 50/20 plan.

    It's not Aussie Broadband's fault; I am not bashing them but rather NBNCo and the last few governments Australia has had.

  • Zippy7 on 27/04/2024 - 20:32

    ABB happy to give you a new customer discount, but very quick to remove, and slow to drop prices to existing customers.

  • Bii on 27/04/2024 - 20:37

    The plan was to be one of the top but still ranked 91 after the major upgrade. I believe NBN are ready for the higher speed, however, they still want to charge more.

    • Twix on 27/04/2024 - 20:58
      +2

      The original FTTP plan to 93% would have had Oz in the top 10. Oz is 91 because of the multi-tech mix trash. Now nbn are overbuilding FTTN and FTTC with FTTP.

      • Bii on 27/04/2024 - 21:13

        Also, if they don't offer higher speed for less while people don't pay more, we will always at the lower speed. On the other hand, our mobile speed is ranked 31. Because its charged per quota, they don't hold the speed.

        These are based on 2022 data. Hope to see better ranks in coming years.

    Seems a bit crap that the usual ABB customers don't have access to good deals like this. How to not care for your existing customers, really. Their price is not the cheapest and tbh for the price of their 50/20, other places seem to offer better speeds. I've been an ABB customer for years but I have never been offered more competitive deals. I am really considering going elsewhere…

        nbn used to define HFC Gigabit as 750Mbps with bursts up to 970Mbps for 1-50 seconds. The 750Mbps download cap has been removed and has nothing to do with upload speed. 1000/100 is coming later this year or 2025.

      The multi-tech nbn mix can't handle it. 500/50, 750/50 and 1000/100 is coming this year or 2025 for FTTP and HFC users. 250/100, 500/200 and 1000/400 is already available on FTTP if you have deep pockets.

    Does anyone know if moving to ABB needs a new modem for HFC connections? I'm coming from Vodafone.

      Under Internet set up, usually select Dymanic IP as [Internet connection type] and clone current compute mac address for [Mac Clone] and should work.
