    Another vote for ABB. Just passed my free first month, very happy with the speed 100/40, no peak evening slow downs compared to MR. Support is awesome too!

  • bennos on 31/05/2018 - 15:39

    Got a free month with ABB after the demise of Buzztelco. Speed is amazing, customer service is excellent. I left after one month for a cheaper company, and ABB went above and beyond to help me transition my voip number to the other provider.

    TL; DR - ABB is an A1 service provider.

    I've been waiting for a deal like this to resurface for months now! I even messaged the director on Whirlpool to see if he could sort something out, then this shows up on OzBargain - perfect timing!

    I haven't even had my service connected and I'm already enjoying the customer service - the constant updates via email and text are welcome. I even called the call centre to update my delivery address and receive a confirmation message that the modem has already been shipped AND to the new address too.

    Looking forward to this!!

  • HKS on 31/05/2018 - 15:47

    even for adsl would the switch be worth it over telstra? getting ping spikes/loss spikes when playing games and its frustrating.

      You get charged their regular price? Or you can leave, as they are month-by-month (no contract).

    • Store RepAussiebroadband @ Aussie Broadband on 31/05/2018 - 16:05

      • zhen on 31/05/2018 - 16:12

        So how and when I can cancel it without charge?

        • mysterytal on 31/05/2018 - 16:20

          You need to give 30 days notice as per the terms and conditions.

          Therefore you need to cancel on the first day.

    Great speeds. No issues in 18 months.

  • markryan1971 on 31/05/2018 - 17:24

    $10 a month more expensive than MyRepublic - which im on a 50Mb service - $69/Month unlimited.

    While I am looking around for a better ISP - I don't know if $10. a month makes the change worth it.

    I get about 42Mb sync on myrepublic and it keeps above 40Mb most of the day/night - support not as great, but if you only need it once a year, does it matter.

    Rep - if your prices were $10 less a month, you would have my business

    • Zeral on 31/05/2018 - 21:06
      +1

      Don't judge just by speeds, gotta judge based on buffering, reliability, ping times, do I even need unlimited? etc.

      If it's only $10, 1 month free is equivalent to half a year with myrepublic anyway.

      After half a year and you still think it's not worth it, just move back.

      Just think of AussieBB as Telstra and Myrepublic as Optus, what's Telstra famous for and what's Optus famous for, and that's your answer.

      • JediJan on 01/06/2018 - 14:34

        Agree; service factors a must. In my area a lot of very unhappy Optus customers who kept people stuck on their contracts, even though they did not deliver. Believe class action, went to court and customers won. Nothing for the stress of it all though. I don't like Telstra either as they unscrupulously tried to con my senior mother into accepting an expensive service years ago. Early NBN here; I signed up with Belong over 3 years, on standard speed, as cheapest, only 100 GB, free modem, and no contract; still with them now. I did eventually go on contract to go on unlimited and save a few dollars too. I think something like Aussie or Belong to trial first, then if not happy try another. I wouldn't trust any initial contract with any company; try before you buy … on contract.

        • robinCTS on 02/06/2018 - 11:20
          +1

          Not sure if you know, but Belong is a Tel$tra-launched "no-frills" Internet Service Provider.

        • JediJan on 03/06/2018 - 13:48

          @robinCTS: Yes 😉, I know now (modem says "powered by Telstra" … aaargh) but not at the time, or I would most definitely have gone elsewhere! Vodafone was not offering NBN then or I would have probably joined them, as have had a good run with them in mobile plans before Kogan Mobile. Managed pretty well with only the 100 GB too; we don't need landline phone too. (Do more catch up TV etc these days). I just went with the cheapest available without a contract at the time.

          My mother (her area not yet on NBN) is considering TPG (with phone), but we'll compare with Aussie too.

  • truth000 on 31/05/2018 - 17:28

    One minute after I signed up, my current connection stopped. I still haven't got a confirmation email or anything. How long should I expect before the connection?

    • truth000 on 31/05/2018 - 19:58

      Got connection quite quickly. Got 65/28 on FTTN, slightly better than the amaysim's 63/27. Ping is much better now at 6ms, it was more than 20ms with amaysim.

      • Zeral on 31/05/2018 - 21:17

        Ya I was shocked at how fast it connected when I first signed up… Like an hour or something, signed up at 9pm, was up and running when checked at 11pm…

        The improvements from skymesh to AussieBB shocked for me too, no more buffering on YouTube, skymesh would buffer or loop whenever I fast forward skip scenes back then.

        Thought my router/wifi signal sucked.

      Telstra are the only ISP I've been on in the last 3 years that has had absolutely zero issues at 100/40. Speed didn't dip once. Ping didn't dip once. Only had one outage the whole 3 years. International speeds were only slightly less than local.

      Am trying out ABB now, but not cancelling Telstra just yet.

  • superforever on 31/05/2018 - 18:36

    I had enough with MR, time to move away.

    Although speedtest no slow down during peak but P2P streaming not watchable at all and they messed up with my static IP and no static IP for 3 days still don't know when they will restore it. I have a few setup base on the static IP.

    • Zeral on 31/05/2018 - 21:23

      AussieBB dynamic ip sticks to you like glue… Still got the same ip in 2 months even though I disconnected the router for 4 days.

      You won't have to pay extra for that static ip unless it's really really important that you can't change the ip once a year or something.

  • BradH13 on 31/05/2018 - 18:49

    Activated on another UNI-D port in about 20 mins from sign up. All seems fine so far. International speeds are most important to me, so we'll see how we go.

    EDIT: Comparing to Telstra 100/40 which I haven't had a single problem with in 2 years.

    • Zeral on 31/05/2018 - 21:25

      Try using the primary dns 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, it improved my browsing experience further.

  • ozhunter on 31/05/2018 - 18:54

    Not being applied to preorders sucks lol. Almost enough to make me try out a another provider later on, then just join back with them when they have it again.

    • robinCTS on 31/05/2018 - 19:05

      The deal actually does apply to new preorders that are signed up today. (Within a reasonable presale period - up to 3 months. See this comment by AussieBB Rep.)

      It just doesn't apply retrospectively to pre-existing preorders.

  • superforever on 31/05/2018 - 19:19

    Is that mean I can sign up for 100/40 and get the first month free and if necessary downgrade it back to 50/20 next month?

    I am on MR's FTTN is it normally very quick?

    • Zeral on 31/05/2018 - 21:30
      +2

      Yeah the plans are customizable, you can downgrade once a month before the billing date, or upgrade as much as you want throughout the month and pay the difference.

      The new plans usually take affect immediately or within 15mins as what the user facility says.

      • superforever on 31/05/2018 - 21:46

        Thanks in that case I will try 100/40 to see if I really need that speed.

    I signed up a few months ago and bought their premium modem. Week later I got a txt that the transfer was complete and to plug in the modem. Next 6 weeks, speed sucked ass.
    at that 6 week mark, I realised I was being fully billed by both Optus and Aussie BB. When I called support they went opps, you are still with Optus and push a button and I was with Aussie BB.
    THEY COULDNT TELL ME WHEN i WAS WITH AUSSIE BB OR DATES WHEN i MOVED OVER or IF i DID ACTUALLY LEAVE OPTUS. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO GIVE ME A CREDIT FOR THE TIME AS WELL.

    6 weeks double billed and a big who cares scumbag.

  • khell on 31/05/2018 - 19:51

    I just transferred my FTTN service over from Leaptel. Entire process took less than an hour - super impressed with the automated provisioning. All I had to do was turn off PPPoE on my router and it switched to DHCP automatically.

    Some things I've learned:
    -PPPoE authentication added 2-3mbps overhead on my 100/40 plan. After switching to Aussie my max speed on Speedtest is now 96mbps versus 93mbps on Leaptel.
    -Aussie's international speeds are excellent. Testing on the Los Angeles - Time Warner Cable server the max I could get was 35mbps on Leaptel versus 83mbps on Aussie.

    http://www.speedtest.net/result/7354775833

      Telecube… Been there and not going back.

      I'm paying abit more at AussieBB for half the speed and bandwidth than what I had with Telecube, i dwelled on for ages between the 1TB 100Mbps vs AussieBB, and the end result was just so so much better.

    • Monty711 on 31/05/2018 - 22:24
      +2

      I tested Telecube 100/40 alongside Aussie Broadband (FTTN 50/20) and Telstra 100/40 and found that Telecube's international service was SIGNIFICANTLY worse during peak times than both telstra and aussie BB. Tested on several nights too.

      E.G. Telstra: 85.81/6.24
      Telecube: 19.67/3.16

      This was at the same premises on a different UNI-D port.

      • Zeral on 31/05/2018 - 23:44

        Thanks for the effort.

        I usually just watch anime from gogoanime.io so when old shows hosted on mp4upload, openload etc don't work or stutters like crazy… It pisses me off big time because I gotta find alternative sites and servers.

        Facebook/Google servers never seemed to lag though.

      • khell on 01/06/2018 - 00:19

        Yeah thanks for the warning about Telecube guys. My parents are actually with Telecube on FTTP 100/40, so I know all about their troubles. When I've stayed with them and used their connection I didn't experience any major issues. Lately their connection seems fine (or they just haven't said anything about it). My dad is able to stream video from an international source fairly well (though he only watches at 720p, so I guess 3-4mbps isn't a big deal to buffer). I'm planning on giving them a shot and if it doesn't work out I'll just come back to Aussie (yay for no contracts!). I won't be switching unless they offer the discount deals again anyway (none active right now). :)

        I'm getting strangely poor international upload speeds with AussieBB at the moment actually: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2673725&… What are uploads for you two like?

  • drillvoice on 31/05/2018 - 21:19

    I feel like I should know the answer to this…do I need to notify my current ISP about this, or does their service automatically terminate when it churns over?

    • Zeral on 31/05/2018 - 21:50

      FTTP can have multiple ISP at one address so you need to notify previous provider.

      Better to double check with previous provider anyway after your new connection is up and running, whether you need to notify or not depends on what infrastructure your premises is using.

      Back in the days adsl you didn't have to notify anybody because retailers were running everything through 1 telstra line per household… You sign up to new provider, the previous one disconnects.
      It's still the same for gas/electricity.

    • troyww on 01/06/2018 - 04:37

      I was with TPG and had to cancel even after my adsl plan had stopped and I was on NBN with another company . Of course I had to give 30 days notice as well so I ended up having to pay for nearly 2 months …
      I think this a pretty big scam that needs to be changed by the TIO .
      Spewing I missed this deal as I was with Telecube for less than 2 weeks and they are jacking my plan from $75 to $85/month

        Same here.

        Even speedtest no slow down day and night with MR but P2P streaming won't work at all. MR is blocking P2P.

    Yesterday I was on the fence weather or not to switch back to Aussie, as I'm pretty underwhelmed with my telecube performance so far. Decided to just leave it be.

    This morning I receive a email advising my telecube 100/40 1000gb will go up from $69 to $85 per month. Wish I had switched now…

    OP if you extend the offer for one more day, this will be a perfect time to poach back all the customers telecube poached originally.

      Agreed..

        Same here. I'll leave today if you can extend this out.

      Agreed

      Same here, quite disappointed with Telecube tbh. They ran 100/40 promos so often lately it seem like they were trying to lure customers.

    • iamtezr on 01/06/2018 - 07:28

      Totally agreed.
      Just read my email about the increase from $70 to $85 which was their normal pricing.

      Very disappointed and looks like most likely move I'll over

        Yes agreed, i am not going to pay any additional to telecube, service was ok few months back. But not now, & they wanted to charge more. I am looking around

      Same.. i've been on the fence (I just had a Telecube outage that took nearly a week to resolve because their support is uncontactable) and decided to give Telecube one more chance. Then they jacked the price and I can no longer justify the low-price-but-no-support experience.
