As with my TPG post, this post is more suited for existing customers and those currently looking for NBN plans. Obviously each provider has varied pricing with some much cheaper than others, it really depends on your needs and your mileage based on the services available in your area. The main appeal of Aussie Broadband at the moment is their advertised typical evening speeds for an unlimited service. Other things to consider when picking a service provider may include their international routing/backhaul, customer service, price, contractual/setup fees, profitability and longevity of a provider and whether they prioritise/shape certain traffic (net neutrality).

50/20 Unlimited $79
100/40 Unlimited $99

As of post:

Advertised NBN 50 Tier Typical evening speed: 45mbps
Advertised NBN 100 Tier Typical evening speed: 90mbps

Existing customers will be auto-upgraded.

No Lock In Contract
No Excess Data Charges
Australian-based Support
Fast, Easy Setup
Congestion-Free Network
Australian Owned

The two new unlimited plans will sit alongside our more customizable slider plans, where customers can choose flexible data limits up to 900GB. Our former 1 to 3TB plans (100 and 50 speeds) have now been replaced by the cheaper unlimited. Customers on these 1 to 3TB plans will be automatically migrated to the cheaper unlimited plans in the next week or so (or can do it sooner if you schedule your own change).

This does not affect any other existing plans at 900GB or less. Customers can choose to switch if they want, or they can stay on their current plan. Some of the prices of the 50/20 and 100/40 plan sliders have reduced and you will automatically receive this new price from your next billing month.

NBN 50 Tier CIS

NBN 100 Tier CIS

Works quite nicely with the targeted loyalty bonus credit offer

Press Release

Excellent point by Daemonseed666:

Also note, there is a stop-sell on many 'populated' POI's. If this is you, it does not offer unlimited until they are upgraded.

If impacted, you can check when your upgrade is scheduled: https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/upgradeschedule/

Valuable Warning by ReviewAndGiveaway:

The password you use on sign up also comes in the welcome pack email in FULL TXT and is the password for the modem they ship you. This suggests that ABB general staff may become aware of your password without the need to, therefore it's recommended you sign up with a disposable/temporary password.

      Do you know if they offer fast churn on HFC? I am thinking of switching.

      • Detective Pikachu on 12/04/2018 - 08:51

        Usually fast churns for HFC only exists for internal backhaul transfers meaning that both ISPs use the same backhaul provider and are equipped to perform such transfers (which is very rare).

        Most likely, you'll need to disconnect your existing service then sign up with the new provider. This is because of how NBN have setup HFC services (requiring HFC Modem MAC authentications per service). This process may improve in the future if NBN sets up automated ISP ticket handling for HFC.

    Hmmm…might be worth looking at upgrading from 25mbps to 50 now. Shortly after signing up with ABB they helpfully sent me an email stating the line tests showed I should be able to reach speeds close to 50mbps, even though it's FTTN 'round 'ere.

    I have FTTP and there was often congestion when I was with Belongs NBN. For the last 5 months after switching to the Aussie Broadband, I am very impressed with the consistency of the download speed. No more complaining about lagging from the kids. I hope the unlimited services does not affect the quality of the NBN.

  • skittlebrau on 06/04/2018 - 12:35

    For those concerned about the effect this will have on ABB's service, I think you'll just have to take their word for it. I don't think it's really a cause for alarm considering the positive changes that nbn's pricing model has gone through. At least there's no contracts, so at least you can churn away if you're unhappy.

    There's an explanation of why they're moving to unlimited here: http://whrl.pl/Re7T7J

    • cloudy on 06/04/2018 - 14:35

      Thanks for the link, but aren’t they basically saying since the nbn pricing changes all the providers are experiencing much less congestion, and their high priced plans are no longer providing the value they used to, and hence they need to provide more value by making the plans unlimited.

      This says to me, the other providers are providing similar service at a lower price, and they are rasing their limits to unlimited to compete. So if you are looking for internet, why not go for The cheaper one if the service provided by most of the others are the same but cheaper?

    Nothing but praise for this company, the really went to bat for me when I had copper issues on FTTN. NBN were saying 12 Mbps is guaranteed minimum, my speeds dropped to < 50MBps but ABB kept pushing and now I sync well over 100Mbps. Dealing with their call centre is a breeze, they follow up and call back when they say. Lets just hope their speeds don't drop as a result of offering unlimited, but I'm willing to give them a chance as they publish their CVC capacity for every POI and soon their backhaul links.

  • DanceDance on 06/04/2018 - 16:25

    I have been with Aussie BB 3 times and they are great. First time at my old apartment, the second time at my new house (i then churned to telecube - but churned back after not getting the advertised speeds / crappy customer service) and are now back with them.

  • Mintee on 06/04/2018 - 16:41

    Can anyone confirm the pings that aussie broadband have to SEA? Specifically Japan -

    I used to be with iPrimus (back in the day) and there traffic to SEA would route through the USA so pings were ~350ms, which is unbearable when gaming although after flicking to Telstra it dropped to ~130ms.

    Im wanting to swap out of Telstra when NBN arrives but just have concerns about high pings for gaming.

    • samfisher5986 on 06/04/2018 - 16:51

      All ISP's route through SEA without going to USA first.

      The only time this doesn't happen is when the link is cut, which can last for weeks or even a few months.

      • ashamam on 06/04/2018 - 19:06

        When I was with Optus they always routed through the US. Might have changed since of course.

        • Detective Pikachu on 12/04/2018 - 08:33

          TPG also route through US (Guam) as far as I'm aware, then to Tokyo/US West Coast.

        • Viper8 on 06/04/2018 - 21:41

          Look up CHOICE and ACCC data speed data for each major ISP, both of which shows Optus is by far the slowest of the lot.
          Also check out Whirlpool forums and read up on posts from people in the industry about the Optus network, and how terrible it is (hence why MyRebpulic is garbage and why ABB moved to their own network from Optus).

        • Pacify on 06/04/2018 - 23:21

          Optus definitely has the rep of being by far the worst of the big name RSPs

          @MrB:

          I was comparing ISP's in general.

          Yes, if it works for him why change? Hence why 50% of people with NBN are with Telstra, and almost everyone is with the big 4.
          The answer will present itself when things do go wrong (poor offshore support, poor network stability, poor resolution times, higher likelihood and severity of congestion etc.). That's the trade off in price.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2018 - 18:50

    My 2 cents worth of Aussie experience:
    - FTTN connection, had it for 2 months
    - NBN 25Mbps/5Mbps 250GB ($61.00)plan
    - Speedtest results day or night: 3.4 Mbps down, 3.5 up, only on a couple of occasions had 5 Mbps down
    - ABB says it's NBN problem, "we'll push it back to NBN", NBN checked twice, says it's ABB problem.

    Not sure where to go from here, any thoughts from OB community?

      I had a slight speed increase after replacing my internal phone wiring with Cat6 cable. We are on ABB 25/5 and generally get around 23/4.5.

      As suggested already, trialling an alternate modem is one good option. Move the modem to the socket where the phone cable enters the house, visually check the cable terminations, connect a single device direct to your modem (with wifi off) for a speed check, check your SNR in the modem, etc, etc. There are a few things that can be tried that may help find the problem.

      • [Deactivated] on 10/04/2018 - 19:04

        It's the first thing they tell you, "it's your wi-fi". Same result with wired connection to the router though.

    • Make it so on 10/04/2018 - 13:55

      Your modem "maximum line rate" (which should be visible if you log into your modem) should reveal useful information; if it is below 25Mbps, you are having line or hardware issues, and NBN is obliged to investigate (in theory). If your line rate is great, then you have an internal network issue (e.g. crappy WiFi connection).

    Hey guys after some opinions.
    Basically, I live with 3 others (one who watches a little netflix, the other who is rarely home and the other who games on a ps4 semi-regularly).
    I am the biggest user of data as I have recently purchased a gaming PC. Due to the recent purchase, I have burnt through 250GB in 10 days. I have one main question. 1. Would 50/20 suffice in allowing me to be able to play video games online smoothly whilst others are connected?

    Some more info. I have FTTP connection through Aussie ATM and the service has been fantastic. Should I switch off the 100/40 and give this 50/20 a try?
    Do you think this speed would suffice?

    We have cut our current netflix settings down to medium as it was burning through our 500gb too quickly.

    Thanks in advance!

    • gingerale28 on 09/04/2018 - 16:42

      i would not be surprised that if you lower the speed from 100/40 to 50/20 that no one will notice unless they do a speed test.
      you have FTTP so a good ping is what rearly makes your internet feel "faster".

      i would be happy with adlso speeds if i had a 1ms ping but what killed me was when anyone used it my ping jumped to 50-1000ms.

      you will have no issue with 50/20 FTTP unlimited. plus if you do notice a slow down then you can always jump back up very quickly

  • Make it so on 06/04/2018 - 22:38

    I wonder if I can reuse my MyRepublic router with ABB. Apparently MyRepublic may increase my price soon now that I'm out of contract, and that's after I paid an early exit fee to my previous ISP to be able to join them on the $60 plan. Not happy. Also just sold my old VDSL modem on eBay, thinking I wouldn't need it again.

    I just wanted to warn people about the email I received from Aussie broadband the day after I was connected-

    We hope you're enjoying your new nbn™ connection with us. We've done some testing since connecting your service and have found that the speed potential is 98mbps. Your speed potential is the theoretical maximum download speed your connection to the nbn™ can achieve.

    I was previously on a 100mbps NBN plan for over a year and didn't get over 68mbps. I might have been tempted to upgrade my plan if I didn't already know this.

    • noz on 12/04/2018 - 03:55

      The vast majority of these outages are actually passed through from NBN Co., so it is provider-independent. Also, your previous NBN provider may not have been notifying you on outages so it may have just seemed like there were less.

          Update on my previous comment: The plaintext password email is definitely concerning. The user account password pre-setup on the modem, is common practice now a days unfortunately (probably for convenience purposes), since certain ISP supplied routers from what I've heard in the past, have ISP back door access for automated software/setting updates. I think it's best practice as a consumer to treat passwords as disposable, therefore using unique password for each service. In saying that, it doesn't mean that businesses should not follow best practices in maintaining user privacy and security either.

      First time on NBN or not first provider?

      • Deliver My Food on 15/04/2018 - 21:34

        No bud. Telstra, Optus (worst), parents close on iinet
        They all suck.
        Just hoping was different

          Damn… Shame gone are the days of one call line tests on the spot. They have to log a reason with the wholesellers before they allowed to request a line test these days. (Speaking from experience from when I asked MyRepublic to do one for me. They had to Message Optus and wait for their 72 hour response… Which never came)

          Good to see your last result much improved. The previous many tests' ping is quite concerning though.

          Check your POI: https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/nbn-poi/
          Then check CVC from Aussie on your POI: https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/cvc-graphs/

          If it's not CVC then it's hardware issue (Not necessarily yours, could be from your house to node, or more likely something to do with the node itself)

    Hummm… With My Republic at the moment and one of the lucky ones. Does not fall under 60mbps at peak times (HFC, old Telstra 113mbps down… during peak)
    Midnight: 95.62 down / 32.84 up

    I will be switching to Aussie in the next month since MR decided to jack my price by $20 a month, will come back and post updates if speed changes

    • Detective Pikachu on 17/04/2018 - 00:54

      That's really decent considering MyRepublic's inconsistent reputation and affordable pricing. Hopefully for your next provider, the upstream and ping improves further.

        Haha, yeah, for a long time I though I got the short end of the stick, but having a look around, I just don't want to Jinx anything now.

        Having said that, not sure if they loosing customers very quick or they hired more people with the extra money. Call center pickup times have decreased a lot. Like an hour hold to 10 min now. Attitude and level of service went down though haha

          Meaning their customers have been reduced to 1/6 because of the price hike?

        • plague69 on 19/04/2018 - 19:30

          @tukanglistrik: Nice one for thinking outside the box! :'D Wouldn't be surprised. Most of us joined because they where cheap and stayed cos they where SUPER cheap and super crap service. Now er don't have a reason to stay.

          Had high hopes for them. They where going to "Revolutionize internet in Australia"

  • ozf1 on 17/04/2018 - 00:37

    What to do, what to do.

    I need to watch the FIFA world cup in June/July… Optus are the only ones showing all the games. Otherwise I'd bite the bullet and sign up to this.

    • plague69 on 17/04/2018 - 22:52

      Always world cup lol. Just change after July. NBN Ain't running anywhere.

  • steve-oz on 18/04/2018 - 08:51

    I've signed up to 100/40 nbn unlimited. Over HFC. The monkeys have sent me an ADSL2+ modem. Anyone else get sent this? I ordered the $169 modem.

    • Detective Pikachu on 18/04/2018 - 08:57

      I'd definitely contact support to get it sorted. Do note for HFC, the HFC modem is supplied by the NBN Contractor during installation or NBN themselves. The router you purchased from ABB may be compatible with both ADSL2+ and NBN, double check the model number just in case.

    • exit on 22/04/2018 - 00:00

      Hey, if I connect to ABB and want their $169 modem, is there any difference between buying it from ABB direct, or a retailer for cheaper?

    • Agret on 02/05/2018 - 08:41

      If it has a WAN port you connect that to your cable modem after the NBN install. Just ignore the ADSL port on it.

    Here is a must read on Aussie Broadband.
    I signed up 6 weeks ago and bought one of their premium modems (Transfed from Optus NBN Shite)

    I was confirmed I have moved services 6 weeks ago.

    Optus send me a letter that I can claim $170 and let out of contract because they are useless Mofo's and cant give the speeds im paying for.

    I called optus today (Month after the letter) to action it and find out my broadband is still with optus (I am on Aussie Broadband Modem)

    I ask optus to cancel and issue my $170 credit (Assuming it is just billing mistake (yet again). Cant place the credit on current billing but will add it to the next months billing "WTF"

    My internet instantly turned off and im like WTF.
    Called Aussie BB and they say optus ported it back (Who, What, When, Where and why) (Still on Aussie BB modem)

    Aussie BB. Bla Bla Bla, we will look into it and could take days. They said I will have to take up the billing issue with Optus.

    I said, how can you invoice me and I pay without a refund if im not even connected to you. Said I have to call back and discuss when fixed.

    Looks like I have to do yet another Youtube review of a useless ISP. WTF. Does it ever end. I just want internet!!!

    Can, Would Optus let a service be ordered out and then manually bring it back to them (Without telling anyone) Or is Aussie BB just telling porkies.

    Its really hard to write this without f!@%&$#@ing swearing my F$@^#!ing head off. Useless F#%&@!ing C@&$%ts.

    • Agret on 02/05/2018 - 10:21

      Sounds like there was an issue with Optus porting out your account and they stopped it for whatever reason. Now that you've cancelled Optus though that shouldn't happen again. Just call Aussie BB and get them to provision and you should be alright. Looking forward to your YouTube video trashing Optus.

    Not a deal, RRP…

    • terrys on 09/08/2018 - 08:00

      I guess the thread was a bit long for you to read, especially with it being three months old.
      Did you have to search for long to find it?

      • Viper8 on 09/08/2018 - 11:10

        I searched ABB. Funnily enough it came up instantly and then I wondered why it was on here given that's the regular RRP since they brought out the unlimited plans. Great company and product yes, but there is no bargain here.

        • terrys on 10/08/2018 - 08:13

          It was here because it was posted when ABB went from restricted download rates to offering an unlimited option after NBN changed their pricing structure and ABB had progressed with their back-up back-bone build. The bargain was a combination of their guaranteed contention rates and higher actual speeds as experienced by many Oz bargain members when compared with the competition.
          That's why I was wondering why you were responding to a 3 month old thread…

  • follow on 01/09/2018 - 08:05

    24 month contract now
