        • mathew42 on 29/01/2018 - 20:21

          The problem with speed tests is that the most common point of congestion is the PoI due to an RSP purchasing inadequate CVC (unlikely to be the case for Telcube) which means that for it to be relevant, you have to have a test from the specific PoI you will be connecting to.

          Secondly if an RSP provides unlimited plans, it will only take a few users thrashing the network to ruin it for everyone else. Still waiting for ACCC to start monitoring performance.

    • Ruprect on 29/01/2018 - 21:55

      There is no congestion during peak times that I can tell. I stream a lot and it's been smooth sailing. The price is very very competitive but I read how the company wants to be aggressive in growing this year. The price is a no brainer if you are comparing between ABB and Telecube.

    • mathew42 on 29/01/2018 - 16:48

      MyRepublic has unlimited data plans, which means congestion.

      • stumbows on 29/01/2018 - 16:55
        +4

        That's a sketchy article. It's trying to compare quota with bandwidth which aren't directly correlated. Congestion is how much of the pipe is shared across all of their users. Now given that a backbone for a node of up to 384 ports is only 2GB often that claps out before the purchased pipe from the ISP does. the TL;DR is that an unlimited plan isn't a dead giveaway you'll have congestion issues. For example Telstra often has some of the worst congestion issues and they have more people on capped plans than any other ISP. Just an FYI I am a network engineer and have a fair knowledge of how the NBN works. This is my bread and butter. I personally use My Republic and cannot complain.

        • mathew42 on 29/01/2018 - 17:28
          +1

          NBN network is running at 15% utilisation and backhaul for a node can easily be upgraded by changing the fibre tranceivers.

          Congestion can be caused by a small number of users on 100Mbps plans thrashing the network. Purchasing a capped plan on an ISP that offers unlimited plans means you will be impacted by those users.

          Since ISPs started offering cheap unlimited plans on ADSL, the reality has been that heavy downloaders track network performance and rapidly change providers seeking better performance, so a good unlimited service today is likely to be bad in the near future. I prefer not to gamble with my internet connection.

        • StickMan on 30/01/2018 - 12:45

          Quota and bandwidth ARE related, since using bandwidth increases your download count - which quotas are a cap on.

          If you have 'unlimited', you might download at max all day and night. Come peak hour, plenty of others are doing the same, and that means the shared bandwidth amongst everyone (CVC) is chewed up immediately.

          Add in data caps, and people need to 'ration' their data. Set up limited times when downloads are active. Why would they chew up their own connection at peak hour, when they can ration it to early morning or when they are at work? Thus peak hour bandwidth usage is lower across the board, across the shared CVC, and peak hour performance is better.

          It's really that simple.

        • stumbows on 30/01/2018 - 13:03

          @StickMan:

          My family of 5 uses roughly 500GB per month. This deal of 1TB/unlimited doesn't even really come into play with that argument. Bandwidth and quota are related sure. But bandwidth is directly related to congestion, quota is not. I could download 1TB in a month between the hours of midnight and 7am if I really wanted to and it wouldn't affect anyone in my neighborhood. If I wanted to only download things between 3pm-6pm (main peak hours) I could probably get away with could hundred gugs at most. That will affect congestion and add to the pain. The long and the short of it is this. People with low caps can add to congestion while people with unlimited only downloading at certain hours will not. I am not saying this is always the case but I am proving my point that quota and congestion and no where near directly linked. People on OZB claiming to be experts because they spend sometime Googling and talking to other 2nd hand experts, SMH.

        • StickMan on 30/01/2018 - 13:07

          @stumbows:

          while people with unlimited only downloading at certain hours will not

          Well this is the key to your argument, isn't it. And my point was saying, if you have unlimited there's nothing forcing you to ration your use, so you'd just let it download whenever you like.

          Still unsure how you're "proving my point that quota and congestion and no where near directly linked". Bandwidth is data over time. Data forms quota. These are most definitely linked, by definition.

        • stumbows on 30/01/2018 - 13:13

          @StickMan: Oh and on this plan with 1TB & unlimited off peak do you think people will be forced to ration? I guess there's not much room for a brain a stickman.

        • mathew42 on 30/01/2018 - 14:00
          +2

          @stumbows: Quota & congestion are directly linked.

          A 100Mbps plan can download 32TB/month. Now if someone is on a 1TB plan, they could thrash the network for the first day and then would find their speed limited to 1Mbps, limiting their impact on others.

          Consider a 1Gbps plan can download 324TB a month. You can only run it at full speed for 2.5 hours.

          Yes people are forced to ration usage, in the same way that water and power are rationed. If you require more data then you can make a choice to pay more or change your habits including moving some data transfers to off-peak hours. Alternatively you can switch to an RSP that doesn't impose quotas and experience congestion.

          @mathew42: Are you kidding me? These are unicorn type cases. Even TPG has a fair use policy on their unlimited where they actually terminated the contract of multiple users who were downloading roughly 2-3TB in a month. At this point I am wondering whether reason has avoided you like the south pole from the north. These are some of the worst arguments and reasoning I have ever heard. Do you work for Telecube? I actually advocated for Telecube with my OP about it being a deal comparative with MyRepublic which is my benchmark for good pricing. At point quotas, bandwidth & congestion wasn't even a consideration. But if we're being honest the speed test results to an overseas network is terrible unlike many of the other bigger ones that own their own international links. Congestion is probably a non issue because they are a small fish. If more people jump on board that will change. Let's look at real facts rather than the crap you are spewing, which is about as solid as air itself.

        • mathew42 on 30/01/2018 - 14:32

          @stumbows: Congestion is actually a larger issue at smaller providers because they have less users to spread the variability in user behaviour across. More customers, equals more CVC per POIs which makes it easier. For more details, I suggest reading NBN Points of Interconnect and the future of competition by Simon Hackett.

          There are people who boast about how much they can download in a month and many who believe that an unlimited data plan means they have paid for it so they should use all the data. Quotas curtail these anti-social behaviours. For a deeper understanding, I suggest researching Tragedy of the Commons.

          Speed tests are variable in nature and need analysis to determine where the bottleneck is. The philosophy of the provider indicate if this will be addressed or ignored. Providers selling unlimited data plans will ignore performance issues, because they are selling to a price point, not quality.

I am pretty sure Googling isn't a credential in the tech world. Despite it being the main source of tech support resolutions. What I can tell you about the CVC charges is that they are incredibly high in this country and ISP's doing packages at bottom dollar have to find their profit somewhere.

        Was with MyRepublic for a bit over year with no issues. Started having huge slowdowns around mid December month and would get constant timeout errors in peak times (between 5.30pm and 11.30pm) when just trying to reach google. Internet was literally unusable.

        When contacted they initially told me there was nothing wrong and that there must be an error on the NBN side. In mid January they eventually admitted there was network congestion and that there was a scheduled network upgrade on 25th Jan. Not sure what the network is like now because I need internet for work and ended up switching to a more expensive ISPs that has much better ping and no congestion.

        MyRepublic is still great value if you're lucky and don't get hit with congestion though.

      Enough where customers don't notice any congestion. Some of the other "cheap" offers also have unlimited and causes congestion. Not with Telecube. Having said that they do have unlimited between midnight and 7am but they say they have the capacity spare at that time so it's not an issue.

      The thing with telecube, it's really meant for techies, and I think they expect you're a little knowledgable. They won't read off a script & treat you like an idiot, but I doubt they're really there to hold your hand unboxing & setting up your new modem you bought from HN.

        What am I doing wrong? I’ve logged in and clicked on the link for submit special rate code then it says nbn rate set and nothing happens. What do I click on next?

          After you have applied the code there go to the "Services" section and click "Add New" and find the "NBN Internet" button, that will lead you through adding a service and you should see the special offer pricing.

          @sween64: thanks. For order type I’m currently connected to SkyMesh so I’d click transfer service for order type?

          @bennybaubles: which tech?

          Add your current details (provider & tech) to the notes.

    Been a customer since September and very happy with the excellent service. Would recommend for 100/40 HFC customers.

    100000 times better than shitty tpg

    • dlovep on 29/01/2018 - 18:05

      In reality might be 2.5 times, since they only reaching 36 and Telecube mostly over 90, but gear in customer service, response time and drop out, could have been 10 times.

    Does you have to be a member of telecube or siptalk already or can you sign up new with the links above?

    Any preference one over the other?

    • Associatedsween64 @ Telecube on 29/01/2018 - 17:32

      Follow the steps above which means creating an account.

      Their NBN offers are currently the same. The VOIP offers are different.

      I think only Telecube has access to the beta my account portal.

    Great, will switch tomorrow from ABB. They are good too but they are no longer competitive with their plans.

    • ShortyX on 29/01/2018 - 17:24

      It may because they have to pay for their dedicated links instead of sharing backhaul with other providers.

        Agreed. With the new ABB price points they are so much more expensive than anyone else.

        • movieman on 29/01/2018 - 23:20

          How so?

          Recently signed up for 25/5 with 100GB for $55.

      • StickMan on 30/01/2018 - 12:47

        Which is great if you're in their coverage area, but me in Im Camping Here Ville will not see those benefits for 10+ years.

  • random110 on 29/01/2018 - 17:11

    I have been with Telecube for a couple of weeks now and they have been great. I was getting 93/35 at 7pm last night. Would recommend.

    Hi There,
    I'm just in the process of switching to Telecube. Any chance I could get the setup fee as credit or is it too late as I have paid the $138?

      Post in the whirlpool thread and John might offer you credit.

    • Povotron on 29/01/2018 - 20:40

      I just asked but apparently not. Currently have no internet and no $69. I'm going to have a disappointment sandwich.

    Bugger that there's no forward orders, I should be ready in 1-2 months (lol, we'll see).

    • Associatedsween64 @ Telecube on 29/01/2018 - 17:33

      Keep an eye out, there may be a good offer when you're ready.

    • 5cooter on 29/01/2018 - 19:52

      Yeah. Double bugger. We were ready locally, via HFC, in November. Everybody was emailing me telling me. Just double checked the NBN page and they are now "Upgrading the network*". Jesus H Christ. I might have jumped at this. Price points and representative responses and behaviours as well as customer statements are encouraging.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/02/2018 - 18:21

      Shame indeed. Was going to preorder but will most likely end up with someone else now as I refuse to pay $100/month for a plan that I know I could've got for $69/month.

    Great timing, just got FTTB!

    Thank you OP for submitting this deal!
