The discount will last the life of your service plan (as per Jeremey's post in the thread).

You can elect to have a phone service ported/activated at either PAYG rates or add on a $20 unlim national call pack you need to let them know in the order details upon checkout.
PAYG Rates: Untimed Local & National Calls $0.20/call, National Mobile Calls $0.20/minute, 13/1300 Calls $0.45/call.
$20 Unlimited National Call Pack: Unlimited Local, National and Mobile calls.

Support is in Australia too which is nice.

The included router on the 24 month contract is the Netcomm NF17ACV (http://www.netcommwireless.com/product/enhanced-vdsladsl-wir…)
The included router on the 12 month contract is the Netcomm NF10WV (http://www.netcommwireless.com/product/vdsl-adsl-n300-wifi-g…)
There is no included router on the month to month option.

Compared to many other NBN deals out there these guys are very well priced :D

Also - you can use your own equipment but it needs to support IPoE (static IP) on VLAN ID 100.

          @BuzzTelco: Thats funny because all I experience is huge ping and speed fluctuations and Im tired of calling up to find out you've over sold your bandwidth or to do traceroutes and find your sub par servers are causing latency. These prices are cheap for a reason people. Heard of the old saying you get what you pay for? In this case you don't even get that, at peak times I get about 50% of my 25/5 HFC connection and my ping times are so bad I can barely play a basic one on one game like mortal kombat without lag letter known something like battlefield 1. At this very moment I have done speed tests on multiple servers and the best results were 15/4 at 168ms ping at 3:30pm on a sunday to telstra, My pings were in the 400ms+ for optus servers and these are best results, If i do an average of speed per download time, my speed is more like 8/3 which isnt even the lowest speed tier! I get better gaming on my 4g phone internet which is just stupid! Do yourselves a favour and pay the extra 10 or 20 bucks a month to go somewhere half decent, I would happily pay $2.50-$5 a week to avoid all the disconnections and wasted time trying to game online with my friends (and I will soon).
          Put it this way, is $2.50/week worth an hour or two of your time? I only game maybe 10hrs/week but I can guarantee I waste at least an hour a week due to this below average provider not to mention browsing delay with ping fluctuations as high as 1second, thats right 1000ms! This is also advice you can trust, I'm a tech head and I know exactly how to test internet speeds accurately and I am also on a HFC connection which is the next best thing to FTP and shouldnt be subject to as much latency as a FTN connection yet I receive worse latency than people on the FTN. I also have a friend on HFC and he gets a stable 20ms-30ms at all times even in peak hour so you can trust me when I say this provider is not for you if you want any sort of stability and decent pings/latency with your internet connection.

        @apptrack So if you're paying $60 for an unlimited 100/40 connection here, how does that compare with a $65 100GB connection at 50/20 from ABB?

        • apptrack on 07/07/2017 - 14:17

          Answered your own question, it's more expensive but you're more likely to get better ping and the speeds that you're paying for. ABB have their own POI's also.

          I've had no problems with Buzztelco but if it starts slowing down I'll move to ABB.

      This seems like an odd stance now. When we operated under ADSL etc there was truth to the notion they were the primary provider an so called other providers just sold access to Telstra in one way or another anyway. But now its NBNCo, this Telstra as the primary source makes no sense.

      Isnt Telstra just one of the players now?

          The thing I hate about speedtests is that it's not indicative of your line speed anyway.
          Once you multithread a download you'll usually hit your line capacity.

      Unfortunately, the $49 plan is over, however with the above-mentioned promotion code, you can select No Contract still and not worry about the router (will be $59 instead of $49 though). The $49 promotion was extended quite a few times and unfortunately, all good things do have to come to an end at some point. We would have loved to continue offering it moving forward, however, we needed to look at the possible effects on the network if we kept activating clients at those prices, we don't want to go back down the road we went down last month.

          Hi johnnytran

          Customers were kept up to date via email with the details as to what was happening. I am sorry that I disappeared on the last thread, however with everything that was happening at the time I felt it was better to be communicating with our customers directly and keeping them up to date instead of communicating through a forum. When everything "went to shit" we were all doing 18 hour days here to ensure that everything was restored as quickly as possible and we also disabled our automated ordering. I do know that the customers who stayed (the fair majority from the last promotion) have been talking about how happy they are that they stayed and the fact that we kept them in the loop.

        Static IP is a difference but only if it's needed. I don't know of any real world uses for it on a home connection, but I've always had access to more reliable servers so that may be the difference.

      Word of warning - do not use MyRepublic.

      Painfully slow speeds every evening (to the point where netflix had trouble buffering on the lowest setting), lack of customer service and after cancelling my service they kept debiting my credit card for a few months and it took getting in touch about 5 times before they actually stopped debiting (customer service would confirm the debit was cancelled it would still debit - still waiting for refunds, 3 months later).

      They signed too many people up with their cheap offering and haven't purchased enough bandwidth to provide customers with reasonable speeds nor customer service employees to cope with the load.

          New provider is SkyMesh and I get close to 100/40 no matter the time of day.

        • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2017 - 15:32

          @MetaphorOZB:

          SkyMesh is a little expensive, once you're paying that much you should be expecting 100% speeds 24/7. It's something like $100-150 for unlimited equivalent (enough data where you won't have to worry). Good if you need less data though…

      Hi PeteM

      We have dropped our 50/20 plan, however if you are on Fixed Wireless and require 50/20 (due to 100/40 not being available), you can signup on the 100/40 Plan and we will activate it to the maximum speed available for your connection (50/20). You would receive an email from someone in our Activations Team advising that the plan speed will be capped at 50/20 due to the technology type, however, the price would still be the same and we can definately do it.

      Re the CIS - I will be notifying Development that they haven't updated them yet, will be fixed ASAP.

          I jumped to Aussie Broadband ($80 for 100/40 500GB) as they use dedicated Telstra links for their backhaul and ensure there is enough CVC bandwidth. They've also said that they won't connect customers if they don't have the available bandwidth.

          Use the voucher code wpfreetrial for a month's free access and double data for the first 6 months.

          Make sure you tell Skymesh you are cancelling because of speed & congestion issues and they will waive the 30 day notice period.

    I just checked with live chat member that there is no fee for changing speed tiers, BuzzTelco simply changes the monthly bill accordingly. Useful if you want to test your speed when on FTTN connection.

      Was just about to ask that. Good to know. Is there a map that shows where the nodes are for FTTN

      I was just checking the terms and there was this….

      10.3 You may vary the service three (3) times in twelve months free of charge. If you
      choose to vary your service plan four (4) or more times in twelve months, you will be
      charged a processing fee of $25.00 (including GST) from every variation from the
      fourth time.

      ….which is still really good.

    Should I move from Skymesh to these guys? Went with Skymesh for their quality product, which has been seeing speeds dropping lately. A little daunting as never heard of Buzztelco though

    • pjmcshane on 05/07/2017 - 13:47

      Im doing a swap now.. skymesh is getting worse and worse

    • apptrack on 05/07/2017 - 14:59

      I jumped from Skymesh to Buzz. Been great :)

      • db87 on 05/07/2017 - 15:16

        Was going to reduce my monthly cap with skymesh but now seeing this and relevant comments, think I might just jump ship altogether.

        • apptrack on 05/07/2017 - 15:18

          Yep I was getting 10/30 at peak times with Skymesh. That being said BuzzTelco isn't 'premium' as in 95/35 at all times. I usually get 80-85/30-35… Good enough for me :)

        • db87 on 05/07/2017 - 15:28

          @apptrack:

          Yeh mine isn't so much a speed issue - fttp, no noticeable change in peak periods - it's more the cost for something I'm not really using as much as I thought. I work away a lot and my partner only really utilises it for Netflix (which is unmetered) anyway!

          So really just looking to reduce my monthly cost, I've just been too lazy to do something about it.

        Thanks

    Question for Jeremy perhaps.
    Can I port my old phone number over from Internode ADSL bundle?
    I asked them the same question and they can not port my old number apparently.

    Thanks.

    • Store RepBuzzTelco @ Buzz Telco on 05/07/2017 - 15:09

      Hi beerbudget

      This will depend on if the number is still active, if it is you can. If the number has been cancelled you can't unfortunately.

      Cheers

    Currently with TPG who requires 30days written notice. How many days on average does it take to change over? FTTP Metro Sydney. Thanks. Also there's no point in me getting a modem for FTTP right?

    • Xetrok on 05/07/2017 - 14:21

      Pretty much - just tell them you don't want the router when you check out.
      My FTTP connection took about 3 days.
      I was with another provider when I signed up with my FTTP connection, you can sign up and get the BuzzTelco service provisioned to another NTD port (ie. NTD Port 2) before your TPG connection is cancelled to ensure no interruption :D

      • currentfad on 05/07/2017 - 14:34

        Thanks. Yeah no router/modem = no need for a contract. If i have 2 running at the same time I'll have to pay for 2 services for a month though -_- That's why Aussie Broadband's deal is appealing since they have 1 month free trial so i don't need to worry about downtime or paying for 2 services at the same time. Thanks for your post :)

    Might be interesting to see how their international links are.
    How about speed tests to some US and Asian speedtest servers?

    • Xetrok on 05/07/2017 - 14:24

      They were pretty good - if you can find me a Mikrotik bandwidth test server I'll smash one out for you :D
      I find speedtest.net to be very average when it comes to international testing.
