Note: Targeted at telecube customers but technically open to anyone:

Aussie Broadband is pleased to offer Telecube customers switching over to us $10 off for the first six months on any unlimited plan, or $5 off for the first six months on any of our other plans.

We know changing providers can be stressful so we aim to make it as painless as possible – online applications will usually see your service switch across in anywhere between 15 minutes and a couple of hours. Please note that if you want to port across your phone number, switching across will take longer.

Aussie Broadband offers all-Australian support, no connection fees and no lock-in contracts (so if you don't love us in the first month, you're free to leave).

To take up this offer, you need to sign up at the Aussie Broadband website www.aussiebroadband.com.au or call our friendly team on 1300 880 905 and use the following promo code at the checkout: telecube

    There's actually a targetted checkbox you need to click instead of manually putting it in the summary.

    Also, wouldn't this deal be better?

      Not if you're on HFC and don't need a new modem.

    • yht on 29/08/2018 - 23:30

      Signup with free modem and customised plan. Will sell the modem once received as I am currently using the exact same modem. Does anyone know if the modem comes preconfigured? I will reset it before selling it.

  • [Deactivated] on 29/08/2018 - 15:19

    As an ex-Telecube customer, I can say, my local HFC speeds are about 20-30Mbps faster (hovering about the mid 90's) and international speeds about 60-70Mbps faster (hovering around the low-mid 90's)

    I haven't used support yet. But no outages or slowdowns yet.

    As for the deal, there's often a first month free deal too, which can be better value if you're on a 50/20 or 100/40 plan

    • EightImmortals on 29/08/2018 - 15:34

      That's good news as I signed up to ABB at 25Mbps (down from 50 50MBps) so in real terms I'm punting that the speed will actually be the same or better than what I'm getting now. It was an extra $15 a month to go for the 50/20.

        That didn't last long. To think that not long ago they were very respected around here, and talked about their pricing being "sustainable" as opposed to cheapest.

        • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 29/08/2018 - 16:20

          Not sure about respected..just cheap. Sometimes cheap = unsustainable.

          @zeggie: They were the one people recommended here and on WP for fast speeds and no congestion because they didn't do unlimited, so didn't attract the leechers.

        You can now if you haven’t seen - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2749116&…

        Fixed Wireless Pricing
        Different FW pricing was introduced back in May because nbn introduced discounts for fixed line customers that didn’t apply to FW customers. As we were paying more for FW services we needed to charge more. A few weeks ago, however, nbn announced they would be introducing the same discounts to Fixed Wireless customers as well. This was in part due to our pretty heavy campaigning on the issue. This means we can now offer our Fixed Wireless customers the same plans and pricing as the other technologies. Before you ask, yes, this includes the unlimited 50/20 plan for $79. I know many of you will be happy about that.

        • EightImmortals on 01/09/2018 - 18:57

          Thanks. Yeah saw that on Thursday and signed up accordingly.

  • leon on 29/08/2018 - 15:24

    It’s constant running ad on Facebook. You can use Facebook10 coupon to get $10 off each month for 6 months. But I think free modem deal is better as you can sell it later. From my experience they only care if you are a new customer. Once you signed up, the service goes down

    • orange123 on 29/08/2018 - 15:50

      Goes down as in no new deals for existing customers?

        Yeah or if you signed up without a deal and your service hasn’t started. They wouldn’t apply the deal.

          Nope, When I signed up ages ago, a promo started the day before I was connected. I emailed and they honoured it.

          ABB are awesome. Their service and reliable and FAST. I went with Mungi for a period of time and the speeds were far worse during 5pm-8pm so I switched back to ABB.

    What happen to the credit it TC account? Will we get it refunded?

    • leon on 29/08/2018 - 16:17

      The chance of that is nearly zero.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/08/2018 - 16:40

      Best eay is to email [email protected] and ask. But they should do. It looks like they've moving all VOIP over to Siptalk, so your credit will be xfered if you have VOIP with them.

      Also you need to give TC 3 business days notice before you move. Make sure you do that or you might have some trouble.

      • EightImmortals on 29/08/2018 - 17:00

        Does that 3 day rule still apply given the current context? I mean it was them notifying us and not the other way around.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/08/2018 - 17:08

          Well i believe in their t&c's it states you must give them 3 day and they must give you 2 weeks. But you can always ask.

          They could frustrate your move (I'm not sure if they could refuse you move since you're technically still contraxted to them), and they may not refund any money or at least delay it.

          Basically they'll be copping abuse, so I'd always be eztra nice, that way they're much more likely to help you out and even do you a favour.

      • yht on 29/08/2018 - 17:02

        Siptalk is alternative provider other than ABB right?

        • [Deactivated] on 29/08/2018 - 17:10

          Siptalk is Telecube's cheaper consumer VOIP (they also did NBN).

          So they don't do NBN now either, but I believe (from Whirlpool) that they're moving all VOIP services iver to their SipTalk brand.

        • yht on 29/08/2018 - 17:23

          @supabrudda: ok, that means nbn with ABB and voip with Siptalk?

          @yht: yep, thats what I am doing.

          although I haven't gotten the "you're migrating to SipTalk" email yet. But I disabled auto-topup and removed my credit card from Telecube. it appears that the email thT went out was directed to auto topup users to re-enter their CC details, but in the Siptalk portal.

    if you had an ongoing deal i would sign up, as i am looking for a long term provider. 6months deal doesn't mean much to me.

    • mini_wombat on 29/08/2018 - 15:52

      Same here. Would love to have a permanent deal. I signed up for $59 for 6months ($20 off) but the full price of $79 would make me churn again. At $69 I would feel it is value/quality and would stick with them longterm.

    • Gabehcoud on 29/08/2018 - 16:01

      There is a reason they have been rated the as the highest evening speed in the most recent ACCC report. You either go cheap, middle of the road or premium. It sounds like you want Premium at a cheap price. CVC costs alone for providers are too high to offer this kind of pricing long term.

      AussieBB do a good job getting people in with short period discounts (which are costing them $$$ in the short term I can guarantee) in the hope you don't dog them to go a provider offering you 100/40 for bugger all per month at a speed you'll constantly whinge about until another budget provider comes along.

  • opposablethumbs on 29/08/2018 - 16:19

    Need to churn two accounts from Telecube. If ABB would give the previous $20 off for 6 months as in most recent deal, would jump right now.

    How about it ABB?

    You could monopolise all of the Telecube victims if you were to offer the the same deal you just had.

  • asadat on 29/08/2018 - 16:25

    This is probably against the spirit of ozbargain, but being in IT a long time ago I decided that worrying about 10 bucks a month extra for interwebs was definitely a penny wise, pound foolish situation.

      Time is money, so outages, slowdown frustration and the resulting missing out on a bargain is enough to convince me that it's a worthy investment.

      I actually found that i rarely use over 300Gb/mth so switching over to a 100/40 500gb plan is $85/mth (what I was paying on TC) or 50/20 500gb is $74

      Lastly surely most of you professionals out there can claim at least part of your internet as a tax deduction?

          @yht: its part of Self Education. If its related to your work, e.g. keeping up skills, expanding skills, etc. You can claim it. There's also online journals/magazines related to your job. Then there's stock market if you've got shares, online banking if you've earning interest.

          https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Income-and-deductions/Ded…

          The way H&R block told me is that is you keep a (6weeks I believe) diary of your work-related internet use, then work it out as a percentage of your internet usage. The missus and I both claim 25% each, but we work from home at least one day a week and do some work i the evenings. But I count relevent udemy courses, youtube, websites, blogs & forums (alas not here).

          Check with a tax accountant. I'd be very surprised if professionals can't claim at least 10%.
