Both referrer and referee receive $25 for signing up to NBN offer.
Not everyone can get 20Mbps ADSL2+. But in my opinion, 12Mbps plans should never have been offered.
None?
If your copper lines are shitt then it'll DC dropout whenever raining / storm.
Happens to mine 17 Mbps , but dropout whenever raining.
ADSL is not available on the NBN. So you don't really have a choice - when the NBN comes, your ADSL connection will need to be migrated.
In theory, your NBN connection should be the same price or cheaper than ADSL, and you have the opportunity for higher speeds if you want to pay for them. But of course, the MTM clusterf#ck foisted upon us by Abbott & Turnbull means that might not be true.
Should be. But isn't. eg:
Dodo ADSL2+ 50GB $24.90
Dodo NBN 12/1 50GB $44.90
TPG ADSL2+ 50GB $29.99
TPG NBN 12/1 10GB $29.99
Should be but isn't. Thanks to the shit MTM, NBN has had to spend millions of dollars doing more tests and feasibility studies with multiple technology mixes, and blowing 800 million on optus' already dying HFC network which they're now scrapping.
Communications minister who knows jack all about communications technology, go figure aus govt.
You'll still get faster upload speed.

advantages of 12 Mbps
That all you could ever need.

Never heard of these guys before. Does anyone have any experience with Tangerine who can share some sort of review?
Bit expensive compared to other ISP's, especially MyRepublic.
I had a Netcomm modem from Exetel, which gave me a line speed of about 60mbps downstream. I then switched to MyRepublic, and now get a linespeed of 80Mbps. Wouldn't recommend those Netcomm VDSL2 modems for FTTN.
Sorry, I'm confused. Are you using the same Netcomm VDSL2 modem with MyRepublic, or a different one?
Sorry, I wasn't being clear.
MyRepublic gave me a new modem (Technicolor). My new linespeed is 20Mbps higher than before. I can only assume it's due to the modem, since it's running on the same copper to the same node (I could be wrong).
Either way, the MyRepublic modem is $1, and supports AC1600 dual band WiFi. Their speeds are up to 100Mbps. Sounds like much better value in my opinion.
Out of interest, what are the two different modem model numbers?
It was Exetel. They're just a terrible ISP.
Thanks for the info, we are getting fttn next month and was looking at myrepublic. Was going to get the $1 modem and then buy something decent. From what you are saying yours is fine. Do you have fttn or fttp? Going to hard wire all my devices so will need to add a switch, we have lots of fun at the moment where wireless drops out when we turn on the oven or microwave so hard wiring is best.
@noddypiper: I do not think there is a need to buy something additional. The device is surprisingly good. It supports dual-band, and you should not have any interference issues on the higher-bandwidth 5GHz band (microwave interference is limited to 2.4GHz - I used to have it too). You shouldn't have to hard-wire anything.
I am on FTTN, currently getting a line speed of about 80Mbps. Actual speeds vary (peak hours maybe 30-40Mbps, offpeak I have hit 71Mbps), but given the price, it's still cheaper than paying more for 25/5 elsewhere.
TBH I've never heard of you guys and after a quick review search it seems like you have plenty of happy customers(for anyone looking see: http://www.productreview.com.au/p/tangerine-telecom.html & https://www.comparetv.com.au/review/tangerine-telecom-review…), so congrats! I'd be interested in taking up the deal but my area is still a few months away from NBN, sigh.
They can watch you before you switch to NBN, why would they wait?
If you use a DNS inside Australia its tracked.
I'm a noob wif all this stuff. I assume if u haven't switched they have to go through red tape, permission from isp etc. But if on nbn already have back doors open. Idk… That's what my brain is saying anyway 😛
Thats not how any of that works.
rodie that's honestly one of the weirdest and silly theories I've heard in a while.
@RockyRaccoon: Hah, I know right. I was trying to be polite but you could substitute 'silly' with quite a few things.. :)
Wotcha smokin' on? I want to experience slowed cognitive performance!
And what makes you say there not spying now
Every tablet,smartphone,xbox, PlayStation,Nintendo they have been spying since windows 95 :)
Best one will be Pokémon go
Don't worry, you tin foil hat will protect you.
On the plus side their fair use policy states
"The excessive use provisions do not apply to:
any plan where the term ‘unlimited’ has been used."
Which can't be said for some other ISP's that have posted to ozbargain in the past.
OMG, can it be? An ISP I can actually respect because they sell unlimited that isn't limited unlike all the other clowns?
Damn, pigs will be flying next.
well TPG and Optus both have real unlimited as well.
But a lot are questionable.. like Exetel.
Don't get an unlimited plan unless you want to be massively slowed down during peak times. Heaps of info can be found on whirlpool about this. See CVC
Title should be "One off discount/bonus"……be aware they are only giving one off $40 discount.
a 'signup bonus' is generally only a once off…
let me get this straight - so our house/unit need to be on the NBN first before signing up to all these NBN ISPs or do we signup first with them and then that will get us onto NBN?
you need to have a NBN connection to your house first.
ok thanks…:)
Well not exactly. They can connect you if you are getting the NBN sometime soon. Most ISP's have a feature to check and if it isnt available or due soon. they wont let you sign up. There is a Button on most sites that says "check availability"
If the NBN is in your area, just sign up and they will get the NBN connected in the process. No need to have used the NBN before.
2% mastercard / visa surcharge if paying by CC.
Free from Bank Account. Also - no surcharge at sign up.
Our ADSL2 connection with iinet is currently having issues that they're still looking into (0.15 download speed).
I'm thinking that we want to have this sorted first before switching to the FTTN NBN that is available? Or will switching mean we're on separate lines so it shouldn't be any issue?
We're heading away for 3 wks so i thought it might be perfect timing to get it underway but if its still likely to have issues then maybe i should wait until I'm around to monitor it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hi Stacey,
When you move from ADSL to FTTN you will still be using the copper that runs into your property. You will however be using a much shorter length of copper due to it only needing to reach the node in the street rather than right back to the old telephone exchange. This means that you'll likely experience a more stable connection - and also significantly better speeds.
You can make use of this special offer and order today - during the sign up process you can specify a preferred start date (please use dd/mm/yyyy format). If the activation appointment is scheduled before this date we automatically reschedule to get as close to your preferred start date as we can - based on NBN technician availability in your area.
Hope this makes sense?
Thanks and look forward to seeing your order come in.
Get your line fixed first. Why? Because if you could reach 100Mbps on FTTN, but are only getting 25mbps due to copper line issues, NBN Co won't fix it. They only have to guarantee 12Mbps during the "coexistence period" (where FTTN and ADSL2 run side-by-side), and 25Mbps after. As long as you hit those speeds (at least once during a whole day), they will not investigate.
A friend of mine is 350m from the node and should be getting near 100Mbps. He gets 26Mbps, and NBN Co says "User getting 26Mbps. Speed is optimal, nothing to fix". At least while you are on ADSL2, they are more likely to investigate.
So how long does it take to switch between isps if you are already on the fttn?
When changing between FTTN NBN services it usually takes place within 24 hours of us submitting the order to NBN. We usually see up to 30 mins of downtime between your old service stops working and your new service starts. Hope this helps. Thx
Thanks for the response, yes it's helpful because I have about 10 days remaining to switch over from old plan.
What are the advantages of 12 Mbps NBN over 20 Mbps ADSL2+?
