    Come on ABB rep!

    Surely these posts are enough for you to see that your existing customers would like a little love too! You pride yourself on exceptional customer service so don’t be like the “others” and only think about growing numbers while ignoring your existing user base.

    Giving existing customers some sort of extra enticement will only add to your already great service and offering. Don’t be shy, now! :)

      I would also consider MyRepublic, have been with them for past 18 months, have been really impressed with the speeds that I get. Their Gamer Pro package

      You will see a lot of people will not agree with you. At first I signed up with MR the speed was good but when more people on NBN it is unusable during peak.

      After I switched over to AussieBB I never have a slow down problem.

      May be you are the lucky one on FTTP.

    • follow on 15/08/2018 - 15:21

      They're the worst performing of the major 6.

      I also used to get great speeds on MyRepublic, but only to speedtest.net . I am fairly certain that they selectively unthrottle speed to speedtest.net, as this is what they ask users for as 'evidence' of slow speeds. I would also get near full speed on speedtest.net (>70Mb/s, limit of my FTTN connection), while fast.com would hover around 6-11Mbps. Am glad to be rid of MyRepublic.

      I just rang and asked this exact question (after signing up) and the rep said that the code was applied successfully and it should be fine.

      I recommend ringing and checking yourself though

    I'm getting invalid promo code

    Is that because I have been with Aussie broadband at this address previously?

    • thedavemiester on 15/08/2018 - 15:26

      How recently? I left them in March and it seemed to work for me now

        • thedavemiester on 15/08/2018 - 18:30

          @goosmurf: yep this is the key.

          According to Phil via whirlpool if you take advantage of a promo, your location id is then removed from the promo system.

          So it works for me, because last time I was a customer I didn't use a promo during signup. If it's not working for you it's because you've used a promo previously

        • Charlie-B on 15/08/2018 - 18:45

    Signed up with the free modem deal a while ago and could not be any happier switching from Telstra. Getting faster speeds with Aussie Broadband 42/16 and previously 38/16 with Telstra (could also be the better modem). Also paying $19.50 less each month.

  • follow on 15/08/2018 - 15:26

    Good way to do it schedule both after each other. Signup to this and sign up to Mungo and request date after the 6 months is up. Worst that can happen is a better deal comes by and you give them a call to arrange a refund.

  • scuderiarmani on 15/08/2018 - 15:31

    Just signed up, should be getting nbn in the next couple of months. I believe the Telstra modem is highly regarded for FTTN connections?

    Current internet doesn't require a traditional modem so need to source one.

    AussieBB I can keep coming back to cause they're good but I don't like the normal standard prices so $20 off is good!

  • EightImmortals on 15/08/2018 - 15:47

    If it were a permanent $60 a month I might be tempted, currently paying that but don't want to be slugged the extra $30 a month after the promo ends. Though you'd think they'd have a capped plan for that price too, say 1000GB per month?

    Oh well, such is life.

    Im in petrie with FTTN and can only get a theoretical top download speed of 28mbps,same for my mate in Mango Hill. Mate in capalaba with FTTP is also round the same.

      I'm in Wishart getting 95mbps at all times using HFC. http://www.speedtest.net/result/7553279890
      My guess with FTTN would be to check your internal house wiring.

    • ShortyX on 15/08/2018 - 23:17

      FTTP only getting 28? Something wrong there… which provider?

    Reading conflicting reports online about whether Spintel lock it or not - does anybody know?
    Thanks!

  • Elijha on 15/08/2018 - 16:35

    Well I signed up also. My Mungi deal for 6 months @ $59 for 50 down as a transfer from the defunct Buzz ends in a monthish so I have ordered the switch for then. Really trying to keep only paying $60/m or less for 50Mb (since my line can only sync at 32mb) - but its getting hard.

    Check your CVC graphs first. They're usually pretty good at upgrades, but it will still dictate if you're getting an amazing deal or an okay deal. Around 80% is about when I start to notice a little congestion, below that is maximum line speed constantly.

    Example:
    This shows a lot of congestion… Probably not the best deal ever.

    This shows no congestion at all, you'd be laughing on this PoI…

    Hmmm, looks like Aussie BB changed their plans a bit. I'm currently on 100/40 500GB paying $80pm. Was thinking of switching to Mungi though because I don't really need 100mb and could be saving $15 month.

    Seems like a great deal for some… Im on old unlimited data/calls/text plan with optus… Only way I could somewhat justify this purchase would be for 4k content streaming (I can already stream full HD very well, with cellular).
    Hmmm, I guess I will have to wait until there is much more 4k streaming content on stan/netflix/Amazon-tv , which I enjoy free atm.
    If anyone else has aany suggestions as to why NBN would be of use to me, I would consider it ?
    I live by myself, so mobile hotspoting is always available at my home when internet access is required, except for wifi cameras and security and smart home stuff, which I just run off a cheap 6 month data sim and spare phone.

      Absolutely not. I haven't seen any sign of anyone getting that done. Have tried myself even before I got connected and even after they sent me an email offering me a better deal, and the answer was still no.

      It really leaves a bad impression on an otherwise great provider.

    • Nousernamehere on 15/08/2018 - 19:43

      No chance.

      If you miss entering the promo code or see this offer after you sign up, sorry but no backsies, you've probably chosen to join us because you've already heard about our services.

      (This was for the $10 off a month promo but the same thing would apply to this (same as the free modem promo as well)

  • Sabric on 15/08/2018 - 19:37

    • scuderiarmani on 15/08/2018 - 19:59

      Why would you want to pay 2 simultaneous services?

      • LJV81 on 15/08/2018 - 20:50

        Maybe he wants to bridge the two connections??

    • WazzaP on 15/08/2018 - 22:05

      I don't think you can - when you switch to NBN (technology doesn't matter) they disconnect your old service, so if you're on FTTP/Wireless or whatever you won't have a physical phone line to use for ADSL2 any more, and if you're on FTTN they disconnect your line from the exchange or RIM and connect it to the NBN Node, so while you still have the copper line it won't support ADSL2.
      If you speak with Dodo they should be able to migrate your service from ADSL2 to NBN, though they may ask that you renew your contract to do so unless they offered/you were on a transition plan (ADSL2 until NBN was available, usually with a modem that supports both technologies).

      • Nousernamehere on 15/08/2018 - 22:33

        when you switch to NBN (technology doesn't matter) they disconnect your old service, so if you're on FTTP/Wireless or whatever you won't have a physical phone line to use for ADSL2 any more

        Incorrect. For FTTP/FW/satellite you can keep your ADSL2 right up till the coexistence period ends even if you choose to connect to the NBN (ie. you can have ADSL on the copper line and a FTTP connection both at the same time).

        Once an area goes RFS though you can’t get a new ADSL2 connection, only whatever NBN technology you have available to you.

  • AlienC on 15/08/2018 - 20:37

    I need a 12/1 or 25/10 unlimited below $50

    Super happy on my 12/1 1000gb at $35/month with Telecube (i know i know)

    Thought I would need more but honestly it is enough for my needs but 25 would be nice.. 50/20 if it drops again in price.

    • follow on 15/08/2018 - 22:21

      12 and 25 are goners with the new nbn pricing. tc are probably making a loss with the 12/1 service.

    Does anyone know which modems (from other ISPs) are able to be used with ABB, or more specifically who locks their modems to their network only? I'd consider changing from TPG but it's only worth it if the HG659 I got from TPG will work with ABB, likewise will be changing my parents away from telstra and it would be best if they were able to keep their existing modem (new smart modem, and one a couple of years old but VDSL capable).

    I was with Aussie for a month after Buzz closed down and they were ok without being fantastic. Would constantly hit 100/40 even at peak times when I was with Buzz, but Aussie was always around 70-80Mbps and $99 a month(first month free). Now with Skymesh on 100/40 with 500GB but unmetered Netflix. Hit around 90mb during peak, and only $65 a month thanks to the plan match with Telecube.

    Why do we need to enter our email and mobile phone number to check if ABB NBN is available at our address? If I can't check whether I'm eligible without signing up for spam emails and unwanted phone calls, is ABB really a provider worth considering?

    • apptrack on 16/08/2018 - 08:49

      You don't, if you click build your own plan you can just enter your address under section one.

    • urbancartel on 16/08/2018 - 08:51

      Yeah I thought the same - kind of stops you wanting to do a quick check

      • Pantagonist on 16/08/2018 - 09:15

        Use apptrack's method above, the POI checker or the NBN website itself. Or just use made up details other than your address.

        It's not like the old days of ADSL where port availability is an issue and some providers may be able to offer a connection in a given exchange whereas others can't.

        If NBN is available in your area then ABB will be able to connect you unless they have a stop sell in place due to being over 80% of their CVC capacity on your circuit.

    Anyone who's jumped from Mungi - what's the transfer time for FTTN? And does that mean that you'd have a new IP address?
