          So you are getting scammed on speed on your 100/40 plan, and you suggest it to other people?

          That is really sad.

    • scrimshaw on 24/10/2017 - 17:16

      It now costs $69.99 for contract and $74.99 a month for non-contract For a static IP address, you will need to fork out $80 a month and that's also a 12 mnt contract

      You got an early bird special offer but your offer is no longer obtainable.

        Hi Scrimshaw, I'm looking to switch to NBN soon as it's available in my area. Is a static IP beneficial for a non-gaming, streaming, youtubing family? I use a DNS for sports - don't know if that changes anything.

    I have been with Telecube now for more than 2 months. My observations on 100/40 FTTP plan so far:-

    • Consistent Speedtest results (90+Mbps)
    • Download speed on Usenet (NL/Europe) max our at 3.8MB/s. This is unfortunate as with Skymesh I used to get more than 7.8MB/s
    • Linux distro torrent downloads at ~6MB/s
    • Using Internode File Mirror my connection speed improved to ~10.8MB/s
    • Netflix crazy family watching close to 2-3 hours daily in UHD/HDR/HD content - no issues with Bitrate
    • Downloading games and patches on my PS4 - had to change DNS on my PS4 to point to Google

    At this point I am not too concerned if I am getting sub-par download speeds on USENET as this happens overnight on my NAS. Netflix was the main requirement - I wanted two UHD streams to run together in different rooms with occasional VPN\RDP for work and I am happy. I pay $5.50 for Static but I am thinking of getting rid of it as i am thinking of using Synology's own DNS free service.

    • talismansa on 25/10/2017 - 10:04

      That's what I thought. Until a month ago my speeds literally halved to 50/18. Called TPG and they told me that those speeds are completely acceptable, and they refuse to do anything about it.

      I don't know how speeds can literally halve overnight and be completely normal.

      Gonna try NBN once my contract is up.

      • Flamo on 25/10/2017 - 14:16

        They are pretty dodgy. Speeds used to be good when I first joined (93 down on 100 plan) but since they changed backhaul providers without telling anyone it's not so good any more. Also on PPPoE now instead of Static IP.

        My download speed maxes out at 64mbps now which is still ok for the price but not anywhere near what it should be, considering i'm on FTTP as well.

        I've also done some tests recently and it turns out they are using Dodo xDSL which throttles Youtube speeds. Pretty dodgy there. I wouldn't be surprised if the internet speed is being throttled as well.

        At one stage they also sent out multiple bills to possibly all of their clients, so now everyone who has joined up with them is paid up for the next month or two, whether they like it or not. Apparently getting a refund on these overpayments is quite difficult as well.

        They used to have online chat but this has disappeared, gee I wonder why? I've also had support tickets go completely unanswered.

        To anyone considering Buzz NBN because they are cheap and boast a fast connection speed, I would suggest shopping around and going for a slower plan or one with less data. It's just not worth the hassle with Buzz.

        I'm seriously considering this deal, especially as it's only $10 p/m more than what I'm paying now.

        @Telecube, your offer seems really good. If I'm connecting FTTP in Central Queensland, is there a way for me to find out what my connection would be like?

        They reply to your queries fairly quickly via email and if you need to bug them over the phone you get to speak to the locally employed service people. They can;t do miracles but I know they will go above and beyond to get things sorted. They are a small company however so people expecting Telstra levels of infrastructure might be better to look elsewhere. I've been with them for about 5 years.

      • X4iVaz on 30/10/2017 - 16:35

        I remember, when I was with them. They did go above and beyond in helping with everything I needed, from setting up the calls, to my NBN not being as good as I remember it was, and it was done within 24 hours.

        Yes they have a ONLY local call centre, or help centre, so everything was much more easier, and although customer service is normal for every company, Telecube actually made me feel VERY wanted!

        I can also vouch by saying, that when my Optus crap is finished, I will jump back to Telecube.

        My other reason is because, now that I am with Optus, my connection doesn't seem stable, and speedtest you can see my internet have peaks of highs and lows, but with Telecube for myself I have a internet that was the exact same throughout the entire day! Stay at the same high level, didn't bounce in speed.

    I'd like to point out that there is a free setup option available which is $90/mth for 1000GB @ 100/40 .. just choose the 10% discount offer instead.

    Also in relation to the comments from those not liking the offpeak data .. we offer 1000GB per month during peak hours which is a better deal than other providers that offer 1000GB all hours. You essentially get bonus data with us outside of the peak times. If you're a high volume user the majority of your data will very likely be downloads that you could schedule to offpeak hours.

      We're offering 10% discount and free setup on all the retail plans

      • dcep on 25/10/2017 - 15:21

        but your whirlpool rep says the 10% discount is not permanent and subject to t&c although no intention to remove it in near future.

        is that true ?

        can you make it permanent ?

        thank you.

          Nothing is permanent, we don't do contracts and prices may be subject to change. You are not locked in and are free to move if you aren't happy with the service.

          Having said that we have been running the NBN offer on and off for almost 12 months and it's still going without any price increases. There's no immediate plan to change that. If things progress as they are I expect that we will be able to maintain this pricing indefinitely however I can't possibly guarantee that.

          If infrastructure pricing, operating or wholesale costs change and we need to change the cost of the services we sell we will do so according to our terms and conditions.

        hi telecube, how do i get the 10% disc?

  • tomlut on 25/10/2017 - 02:35

    Got this last time it was offered. Couldn’t be happier. Consistent 100/40 in peak times on FTTP in Tas. Excellent tech support.

    Only gripe is that they have no SMTP server so if you have a bunch of motion activated IP cameras, home automation or other systems that email you, you’ll need to find another server. Interestingly my previous ISP’s SMTP server is still working for me even though I cancelled with them months ago.

    Is there an Adelaide POP eta?

    • Store Reptelecube @ Telecube on 25/10/2017 - 10:37

      It's in the works but couldn't offer an ETA at this point. We need to get Brisbane up and running which should be late Nov and then we'll look at Adelaide.

    I was with them for a month.

    I have PRTG monitoring my network and their bandwidth usage figures were significantly out. We're talking 30%. I moved to iinet in the end.

    • dcep on 25/10/2017 - 15:22

      including upload ?

      • knk on 25/10/2017 - 15:33

        Yep
