Hi everyone,

We're looking for a few keen beans to participate in a small closed trial to test out our upcoming unlimited data amaysim nbn™ plans. In exchange for your feedback you'll score 2 free months of whichever amaysim nbn™ plan you choose to sign up to (details below), and if you bring your own nbn-ready modem you could be all set to go for your 2 free months without any upfront fees. If you require a modem you can order an unlocked NetComm NF17ACV from us for $140 (that includes shipping).

If you're eligible for amaysim nbn™(which means you live in an nbn-ready area and your home has technology that amaysim nbn™ supports) you'll most likely get a call from us early next week. Simply head to: https://www.amaysim.com.au/plans/nbn/pre-launch

Each amaysim nbn™ plans comes with no lock-in contracts and unlimited data you so all you need to do is pick the one you want to trial:
– $60 a month for up to 12/1Mbps
– $70 a month for up to 25/5Mbps
– $90 a month for up to 100/40Mbps

We're all about sharing the love so if you signed up when we were offering only one month, you'll automatically score 2 months instead!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
Cheers,
Min

      Go on have a guess! Just kidding, our amaysim nbn plans come with unlimited data every month.

          I heard they offer double unlimited, ask for that.

        • NGPriest on 26/04/2017 - 18:00

          @cloudy: Triple it and i'm sold!

          The only way they can double/triple the unlimited is to offer double/triple the speed :p

    Sounds good, I'm on a NBN plan trying spree to finally get off Telstra.

        Can't wait for the call!

        Couple of questions:

        • Who's your backhaul/wholesale provider?
        • If I already have services on Uni-D1, are you able to provision on Uni-D2/3/4?
        • ashikk on 27/04/2017 - 16:03

          Woohoo!! Welcome to the team!

        • Associatedamaysim @ amaysim on 27/04/2017 - 16:49

          Yep we can certainly provision on Uni-D2/3/4 :)

        • ashikk on 27/04/2017 - 17:45

          edit: just received the email saying its activated. Can't wait to go home and try 100/40 speed

          @ashikk: Amaysim got back and said I have an extra month. I suggest you contact them to arrange this

        • ashikk on 29/04/2017 - 15:43

          @RockyRaccoon: thanks rocky!! Will contact them on Monday.
          So far it's going great. Top speed, easy installation, quick activation. If this keeps on going I will say good buy to tpg

        • chorong on 03/05/2017 - 08:49

          @amaysim Min K: Awesome! I'll be waiting for the call

  • halfnhalf71 on 26/04/2017 - 16:33

    Hmmmm…on a trial i'd kind of want better rates than that! The assumption is you'll want feedback, the service might be sketchy whilst you iron out the kinks and yet it's still (minus the 1st free month which can often be had by calling a provider up front if you ask) not the cheapest. For example https://www.letsbemates.com.au/nbn/ is $59/$69/$89 for the same plans with no up front fees and no contract.

  • kale chips suck on 26/04/2017 - 16:33

    Is it pricing per 28 day month? Or an actual month?

        LOL - they pushed their mobile plans to 28 days ages ago. Dodgy as. They decided to extract more cash from users and increase profits. How to do so? Easy! Add an extra month to the year: just rework the calendar so there's 13 months in the year. Shazamm!! THEN they mess with data allowances so as to induce plan creep. THEN they offer a "bargain" plan which is marginally cheaper than the plan creep plan they moved you to, but more than you were paying.

        Basically, they game their users. Of which, I was one. Never again though.

    • Associatedamaysim @ amaysim on 26/04/2017 - 17:03

    Must be the day for NBN:

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/304042
    Belong NBN Unlimited 100/40 $57/Month for 13 Months (12 Month Contract)

    Amaysim is $90/month, $33 more per month

    Also, not much of a trial offering IMHO.

    Min, how is this competitve?

    • Kooratz on 26/04/2017 - 16:37

      It's not, just want your feedback

      • malouphix on 26/04/2017 - 16:39

      To be fair, that Belong deal is more of a price hack than an actual advertised deal.

    • Associatedamaysim @ amaysim on 26/04/2017 - 16:57

      Good question, amaysim nbn offers no lock-in contracts, unlimited data every month (30 days), and we also set up your nbn connection free of charge (so that's a $0 standard activation fee which with other providers could set you back a pretty penny). That being said, I'm open to suggestions. If you have any ideas on how I can make this offer more compelling please let me know.

      • cloudy on 26/04/2017 - 17:03
        +3

        How about be different? Lts be honest, we all know cheap ISP problems are that the promised speeds aren't reached during weak because they all skimp on CVC. So it might be true the speeds can be reached during the mornings or middle of the day, but definitely no chance at 5pm-10pm.

        How about you offer plans targeting off peak users, and set down load limit during the 5-10pm window (say 50gb per month) and make the plans CHEAP!.

        I would honest dig plans like that.

        • johnnytran on 26/04/2017 - 23:59

    Sounds great, few questions:
    Do you NAT the IPs?
    Anything against customers running a server on their connection?
    Do you have an option for static IPs (or any plans to)?

    • Associatedamaysim @ amaysim on 26/04/2017 - 17:44
      +1

      Awesome questions, let's unpack them:

      Do you NAT the IPs?
      – We don't NAT the IPs. IPs are currently dynamic only.

      Anything against customers running a server on their connection?
      – You're welcome to use your service in whatever way makes you happy, provided you operate within our Fair Use guidelines. Keep in mind these are residential services so if you're running a server farm you might get noticed.

      Do you have an option for static IPs (or any plans to)?
      – Static IPs aren't currently an option but should be coming soon.

      If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask!

    happy to give it a crack, no lockin contract, why not?
    amaysim has been very competitive since the very beginnning and I appreciate that you constantly disrupt the telco market to benefit consumers. Hopefully, you can still manage to make some profit out of it.

    How about answering the question above: "what backhaul do you use?"

    Of course, I'll have an educated guess and say "Optus". If that is the case (and probably why you have chosen to ignore answering the question) then everybody STAY AWAY. Rubbish network, congested to the point that it is worse than ADSL1!

      We're building a hybrid network that'll use various carriers to deliver internet services to nbn connected premises. These arrangements will evolve over time as we increase our footprint, adding network components and partners as scale and customer experience demand. Our design goals are to use leading edge technologies to build an efficient and secure network that meets customer expectations on speed and latency. Hope that answers your question!

      • jl70 on 28/04/2017 - 04:57

        Nope, it doesn't answer my question. Just typical sales spiel. I'm in the industry (and have been for a long time) so don't beat around the bush. There are not that many wholesalers around so it isn't hard for you to just say. However, I'm definitely putting my money on you guys using Optus (especially now that you have deliberately avoided mentioning anybody and also since you already use them for your mobile services).

        • jl70 on 05/05/2017 - 17:27

          Well, as per this article it seems I am at least partially correct with my guess of you using (rubbish) Optus as your wholesaler:

          https://www.itnews.com.au/news/amaysim-puts-speeds-at-centre…

          Thumbs down to you for your lack of honesty, Amaysim rep!

          I would now 100% recommend until you can promise people won't be put onto the congested and slow Optus network for users to STAY AWAY FROM AMAYSIM NBN!
