    I recently tried their free NBN 100/40Mbps trial and found their customer service to be really great.

    The Internet speed however wasn't upto the mark. Ping was always around 70ms and upload speed stayed less than 1Mbps. Download varied significantly depending on peak timings.

    Up-voting only for the customer service and the deal.

    • It must depend on their POI/backhaul as for me it was just as good as Internode.

      If you've got fibre then you can simply sign up to this and they'll activate it on another port so can try and see if it's as good as your current provider.

      And yes their customer service is excellent. They promised to call back within a few days for a complaint I had and a few minutes later called back and resolved it fully.

    less than 1Mbps

    Lordy. 1Mb/s or 1MB/s?

    If they are using the Optus network note that Optus actually throttle everyones traffic between peak hours. Weekdays until midnight or 1am and weekends at 2am or 3am the throttle is lifted until around 7-8am.

    it's not congestion, its Optus actually placing a hard limit on everyones connections. You can test it by watching your download speed go back to normal right on the second it gets turned off. If it was congestion it wouldn't automatically resolve on the dot every single night.

    stay far away from Amaysim and Optus wholesalers

      I'm quite happy with my Optus Backhaul (Supplied by myrepublic). Yes, data is throttled during peak times, usually to ensure high priority for video streaming, but I can still manage 3-4MB/s at night (excluding torrents, which are awful at about 500kb/s). During the day, for example now, I'm pulling in a large file from Microsoft at 11.5MB/s (over 100Mb/s). Can't complain about that for $60.

      Congestion is an issue at local exchange level. Before an upgrade earlier this year in the back haul capacity at my local exchange, I'd be lucky to pull in 300Kb/s at night.

      • Erm.. sir that's 92Mb/s, not over 100

  • 12/1 sucks but the price is reasonable. I currently pay $45 for the same speed on ADSL2+

    Avoid 12/1 - I'ts slower than ADSL2 with actual speeds

      I personally can't believe that after 5 years of NBN development, people are ending up with speeds of 12/1 (while other countries have speeds of 100 and 1000). It's insane.

      • Yes, sad but true. I feel like the country's IT is moving backwards.

    I found this deal from BuzzTelco.
    Very cheap deal and service is good too( I don't have any experience with them but I am telling according to the comments on that deal).

    However, I am planning to try them please comment your experience, if you have with BuzzTelco. Good or bad.

      I got them yesterday….they are superb and speed is better than aussie broadband.

  • Buzztelco gives you 12mbps speed for $40 per month for lifetime… with free voip modem if you signup for 12 month.

  • Current Buzz deal gets you the 25 for $49
