      You have 3 days after making the contract where you can call and cancel, If you did want the modem I'm guessing you could just apply again.

        It would be exploitable but it would also be a bargain too tempting to resist. I'm mostly curious if their system will allow it.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/08/2018 - 16:24

    Long time member here.

    My internet has been very weird lately. Some websites just stop loading but are trying to get there. I have to manually refresh.

    Some websites randomly take a long time to finish.

    Sounds like a possible case of packetloss, ABB, you got any ideas?

    My location is Brisbane, New Farm.

    • noz on 13/08/2018 - 16:32

      Have you tried running a spyware/malware scanner on your PC? If not, I would give it a try.

        Not an issue. I am tech savvy. It's something beyond my control. Probably beyond ABB's too, but just wanted to check.

          mate you've suggested packet loss and then go on to say trace routes aren't giving you indications of packet loss

          Yes. I suggested packet loss prior to doing network tests which showed all clear. That's why it's strange and that's why one comment follows the other.

          No need to get upset buddy. You don't know what you're talking about and it's obvious.

      Just my 2c.. Recently switched to ausbb and have experienced the same issues. Streaming vids and page timeouts. Eliminated a lot of factors, different devices, modems and configuratios.. Generally experience 1-11mbps evenings on a 100mbps service. Had a socket reterminated, next step will be line tidy &or leadin replaced. Haven't contacted support for the same reasons, it'll be out of their scope and put back onto me, or put on a stability profile when the node is directly next to my house and modem reports 94/41 rate W/ 97/43 max.

      Hobart poi, ip 180.150.96.*

      • [Deactivated] on 14/08/2018 - 09:23

        I'm a bit better off than you. My speedtests are always pretty good but suspiciously good compared to my feel of the service.

        • Dabes on 14/08/2018 - 17:03
          +1

          You'll need to test independently. Speed tests won’t be an accurate representation.
          Ookla provided tests show me 90-100 but this is just the max speed achieved. Testmy.net shows 1-11Mbps (20 at best) and trying to download files from ISP/HQ mirrors results in download speeds from 100-200 kbps (clearly not a 100Mbps service @ 10-12MB/s).

          I wonder if there’s a peering/pop issue for some customers. You said you’re in QLD, I’m assigned a QLD address but they may have just registered them all there.. Unsure if that affects routing at all, i'd guess not.

          Switched from a very small provider who had aapt business grade backhaul (but didn’t offer more than 50Mbps) I had no issue hitting that.

    ABB configuration is flexible and you’re not tied to the equipment like TPG. TPG you must use their modem for VoIP if you are also porting your landline.

    From a modem perspective, would the Netcomm be much better than a Huawei HG658 in bridged mode?

  • pistachio1 on 13/08/2018 - 19:30

    Hi rep, I signed up online and the promo code was pre-filled, but my end total was still something like $164 incl shipping for the modem. This was on step 4, step 5 was absolutely nothing and just a page letting me know my order was filled and to check my email for confirmation. My confirmation email didn't say anything about how much I'll be charged. My NBN service isn't due until the end of September, so mine was a pre-order. If the free modem code was pre-filled is it absolutely certain I won't be charged for it?

    Hey ABB, no love for you existing customers ?
    I've been with ABB since more than 6 months and certainly their support is awesome.
    Before that I was in contact with telstra for 2 years and comparing the two, ABB support is 1000 times better than telstra support.
    However, one thing to note is that I have called ABB support more times in these 6 months than I called telstra support in 2 years.

  • UserInterface on 14/08/2018 - 16:48

    What the hell is with having to pay 6 months upfront if you want to use bpay!?

      @REP seriously. why?

      • Store RepAussiebroadband @ Aussie Broadband on 15/08/2018 - 15:06

        Just to clear this one up customers can use Bpay at any time provided the payment is made 3 clear business days before payment is due on their account and if not they are letting us know so we can put measures in place to avoid direct debiting of funds. If a customer wants to not have direct debit details on file and have Bpay as their primary method of payment they must have established a good 6 month payment history with us.

        • DamagedDingo on 16/08/2018 - 11:50

          This seems OK to me. Can we adjust billing periods or will it just start from the date of connection?

  • tiara on 14/08/2018 - 20:33

    Hi Rep,

    I was trying to sign up and got this message after entering my address : "Please note: we have currently stopped connections in your area due to our policy of not selling above more than 80% of available bandwidth. We don't believe it's fair to sell you a crappy, over-crowded service. We have more bandwidth ordered in your area which we expect to come on board around 2018-09-21.
    If you're happy to wait you can continue with the signup process below and we'll keep you updated via email on how the bandwidth upgrade is going."

    My question is how do I select connection date since I'm not sure when the service will be available. I also need to give 30 days notice to my current ISP so I'm not sure how the porting works. Let's say I tell my ISP that I'm cancelling the service on 21/9, what happens if your service is still not available on that day? Does it mean I'll be without internet?

    • Store RepAussiebroadband @ Aussie Broadband on 15/08/2018 - 09:17

    FYI it seems the modems aren't shipped early to be with you and ready on day 1. It seems the modem is sent to you when you're activated, even if you've scheduled weeks in advance. So if you actually require the modem, expect to go a few days with no internet until it arrives.
