    $79.90 is a pretty decent ongoing price

    • I think that is the tied cheapest ongoing price.

      Anyone actually use these guys?

      • +5

        switched from them to Aussie broadband a month ago.ABB got slightly better speed but customer care is pathetic when compared to Tangerine. I used various internet providers and I can say Tangerine is the best in terms of customer care.

        • Were you on a ABB NBN 100 plan? What kind of speed differential are we talking about?

          • +2

            @serpserpserp: No both in 50 plan.With Aussie I’m getting 47 Mbps consistently but with tangerine 38 to 46 Mbps .

        • I’ve heard ABB customer care is good

          • @Hirolol: I’m not sure about how good is ABB direct service phone number.But if you send email, response time is almost a week and live chat is also useless.But Tangerine live chat was so good at least for me.I think their live chat person can handle technical issues also and he did modem settings remotely even in my byo modem

            • @binusam2007: Doesn't he need your password to access your modem/router?

              • @nfr: First he told me to login my netcomm modem page then asked to tick/untick some options(can’t remember which one,I’m not a technical savvy ).After that he got full access to my modem and fixed remotely

    Probably worth mentioning in the description:

    Mandatory components:
    You will require an NBN ready modem/router to access this service.
    We can supply one for a one-off fee of $99 if required. Due to
    complexities on the network we recommend you to use one of our
    supplied modem/routers however we do support BYO
    modem/router.

    and this -

    14 day risk free trial
    If you are not completely satisfied with your Tangerine NBN service
    you are free to cancel within the first 14 days and receive a full
    refund of your plan fee. If you have purchased a modem from us,
    and return this (at your own cost) we will refund the cost of the
    modem as well. For full details please see our 14 day risk free trial
    terms and conditions

      Every provider should allow BYO modem imo…

      • +13

        Most people who worry about Wi-Fi speeds would already have a decent BYO modem

          • +7

            @Wallyt99: Not if you're on FTTN or FTTB.

            The modem plugs in directly to the phone socket. There is no "NBN box"

          • -4

            @Wallyt99: You are not entirely correct. At least NBN FTTN/B or HFC requires a modem.

          • @Wallyt99: No difference then even, some providers still require you to pay a setup fee for their router.

            • +1

              @[Deactivated]: I should have been more clear - yes there is technically a modem but it is supplied at no cost by nbnco. The device provided by the distributer is not a modem. It's a wifi router.

              • @Wallyt99: Yeah, isn't related to what's been said though lol

                The providers who make you purchase a modem for FttN also typically make you purchase a router for FttP. You still can't BYO, no matter of connection type.

                This provider actually allows BYO.

  • Does bundle include free unlimited calls australia wide including mobile?
    Also any details re international call rates?

    Overall pretty decent pricing!

    • +4

      In the CIS:

      What’s Included and Excluded?
      Included in this plan:
       Line rental
       Calls between Tangerine Telecom NBN Phone
      services
       Local calls
       National calls
       Calls to Australian mobile numbers
      Excluded in this plan:
       Calls to 13/1300 numbers
       Calls to international destinations
       Premium rate services, ie. 1900 calls

      Also mentions this:

      Mandatory components (not included with the plan)
      You will require a Tangerine Telecom NBN Internet
      service and a compatible IP handset or an analogue
      telephone adapter (ATA) to use this service. This product
      is only available if you have an active Tangerine NBN
      internet service

      International call rates can be found here

      • thanks. Just what I was looking for!

      • Anybody know if you can block/bar outgoing excluded calls for example bar calls to 13/1300 numbers or international destinations or premium rate services.

        I know TPG can only block outgoing international numbers but cannot block or bar as they word it calls to 13/1300 numbers or satellite numbers.

        Hopefully the next swap to another ISP probably Exetel, Tangerine or some other cheaply priced NBN FTTN 50 plan will be able to bar all sorts of numbers as I don't wanna risk it and end up with a surprise high bill.

        Currently on $69.99/month for NBN FTTN 50/20 Unlimited and $10/month Oz Talk Add On which gives unlimited local calls to Australian landline and mobile numbers but not to international destinations, 13/1300 numbers and satellite numbers.

        Very happy so far and even tried their NBN 100 plan for a few days but my line can't get above 50 megabits per second by the looks of it so back to NBN 50 for now which is more than fine for my household but yeah really wanna be able to bar all excluded calls/numbers otherwise that potential for a $200 phone bill is definitely there oh my god.

  • Does this include existing customers?

    • Are you a customer? What are they like?

      • +1

        I've been a customer for a few years now, it's generally fine. Just tested via Google's speed test on my phone and it's reporting 28.6 Mbps for download, 11 for upload on my 50 Mbps plan. During less busy hours I think it gets a bit higher.

        My PS4 Pro sometimes hits 5 megabytes a second with downloads which is pretty great. All in all, they're a reputable but smaller ISP.

        • +10

          Is not getting what you pay for generally fine these days?

          • @ozbargainer88: They could be on FTTN..

          • @ozbargainer88: I should have mentioned that this is typical of peak hour, with someone else in my house streaming video too, but right now for example I'm getting 45.7
            Mbps.

            Honestly, I can't imagine many different ISPs making a difference, I think a lot of it simply has to do with infrastructure and congestion at your node.

        • Yuck!

        • +1

          There is multiple things wrong with your statement. As pointed out those are not good figures.
          Speed tests need to be run on Ethernet plugged directly into the router/modem as to avoid a multitude of issues that come with WiFi such as congestion, adjacent and co-channel interference etc
          For anyone reading this, don't let this comment put you off. I have no experience with this ISP but know this this statement is not conclusive or accurate enough to base any opinions on.

          • @Swirlboy: Yeah obviously, Jesus Christ I can't believe so many people have made a big deal about my comment lol. It was just on my phone a couple walls away from my router on a whim. I've never been with an ISP that hits the cap most the time, at multiple properties. I'd have thought that people would expect at peak hour in particular you're likely to take a hit

            • @OfTheOverflow:

              I'd have thought that people would expect at peak hour in particular you're likely to take a hit

              You shouldn't expect this though. That's what people are on about. ABB doesn't.

                    @Hybroid: I recently signed with ABB and no matter what time it is, I generally get around 87Mbps. Even at peak times. I am on FTTN. If I was on NBN 50 and got 28Mbps, I would complain straightaway. Thats almost half the speed. and the 87Mbps I quoted is also what i get on wifi using the speedtest app on my iphone and my android phones.

      Existing customers can upgrade to this plan. Note that the promotion pricing is only applicable for the first 6 months that a property is connected with Tangerine. Simply submit a request to Customer Service/Billing via the Contact form on the Tangerine website including your name and account number and your request will be actioned.

      • What about calling features in this NBN100 plan for all Australian calls including mobile phone calls and unlimited international destination calls for landlines and mobiles please? Thank you.

      • @tangerine01 As an existing customer, I did contact Customer Service/Billing, but they have refused to upgrade me to this offer. So I guess the deal does not apply to existing customers.

        [edit] Sorry, my mistake, did see an email later from Billing saying it is possible to change to the offer but without the promotional $10 off.

  • I am on Optus HFC, and I now have 90 days to go to the NBN. Can I take the 14 day trial before cancelling my current internet? Or does getting the NBN automatically cancel your current internet?

    • When you connect to NBN from HFC cable - your Optus HFC service will be disconnected. Hope this helps.

      • -2

        Are you sure?

        I have read of people keeping their HFC connection while having NBN.

        • The tangerine rep is definitely right.

          Once you switch from your current fixed broadband (ADSL or Cable) you can never get it back.

          You can stay on Optus Cable until they cut you off but once you move to the NBN then that's it

        • +1

          No. This is not true. It is a regulatory requirement for RSPs to disconnect any legacy broadband once NBN is active.

          • @BuyNow Think Later: How does the RSP know you have a non NBN Cable connection with Telstra or Optus?

            Even if they did the RSP can't contact Optus or Telstra and cancel your service, only you can do that.

            • @spaceflight: Telstra and Optus sold their HFC infrastructure to NBN Co if your NBN is HFC. How does NBN Co not know? You obviously do not know about any RSP is required by law to disconnect your legacy broadband within the 18 months after your NBN ready for service date even you don't cancel your legacy HFC.

              • @BuyNow Think Later:

                You obviously do not know about any RSP is required by law to disconnect your legacy broadband within the 18 months after your NBN ready for service date even you don't cancel your legacy HFC.

                Actually you obviously do not know how the 18 month process works.

                It has nothing to do with RSPs. They have no legal requirement to move your service.

                There is no moving of service actually, you are talking up a new service on a new platform.

                You can choose to take up an NBN service or not. If you choose not to move then after about 18 months of your area being declared ready for service your current provider will disconnect you (this is basically Telstra turning off their exchange, or Telstra and Optus turning off their equipment on the HFC network)

                • @spaceflight: I did't say anything about moving your servces. I said disconnecting your legacy services. Read my posts again.

                  • @BuyNow Think Later: I know what you said.

                    RSP is required by law to disconnect your legacy broadband within the 18 months after

                    Just wanted to update if anyone cares, this is indeed possible. The NBN installer came today and I asked for a splitter so I can use the NBN and Telstra Cable side by side.

                    After the NBN Arris NTD was activated and I got my NBN connection all up and running, I connected the splitter and both modems continued to work side by side without any problems.

                      BUT as soon as Optus gets wind that NBN is in your area they are wanting to disconnect you from their infrastructure within 30 days because the sooner they get rid of you the quicker they get paid by NBN.

                        Roti is more proof you and the rep are wrong. I'm not sure why you'd use this to support your argument that you can't have both HFC NBN plus a regular HFC connection working at the same time.

                        • @spaceflight: Optus did not tell its customers the truth about the 18 months grace period and the fact that its customers can choose any RSP.

                          Optus pressured customers by misrepresenting the time period in which services could be disconnected
                          From October 2015 to March 2017, Optus told around 14,000 of its customers that their services would be disconnected (in as little as 30 days in some cases).

                          Optus also made misleading representations to customers that they had to sign up to Optus’ NBN services, when they could have chosen any internet service provider.

                          The RSPs have to give a reasonable period to disconnect legacy services. They just can't disconnect a legacy service the day/week after NBN service kicks in. The co-existence period of legacy and NBN HFC is just for a transition period.

                          Roti is more proof you and the rep are wrong. I'm not sure why you'd use this to support your argument that you can't have both HFC NBN plus a regular HFC connection working at the same time.

                            You need to cancel your non NBN HFC service with Optus or Telstra.
                            If you don't it will be done for you after the 18 month period when Telstra and Optus are required to stop providing services on the NBN owned HFC network.

                            RSP is a term used only for NBN. The ISPs that sell legacy HFC services have no obligation to disconnect existing non-NBN services on HFC until a co-existence period is over. That said, Optus has disconnected Optus Cable customers months before the end of the co-existence period.

                            It is possible to have Optus HFC and Tangerine NBN HFC. It is the obligation of the customer to call Optus to disconnect Optus HFC.

          • @BuyNow Think Later: 18 or 24 months from when nbn is first active is the cutoff date

      • not mine, My Optus cable still hasnt cancelled and its almost 3 weeks since i got the NBN…. I have called up optus twice and they still havent cancelled it.

      • Hi, could you tell me how long will it take to connect FTTN service..

        • My personal experience: I changed from Aussie, on FTTN.
          I booked mine in advance, disconnected 1am day of install, connected and up 7am.

          • @shadimar69: their customer rep told me 1-3 business days, I am wondering what date should I put in the note as my Aussie BB will be cancelled on 20th May i.e Monday

    • IF you have a good price, good consistent download speed (100+) don't get off cable till its not running no more. Is your NBN ready to go in your home?

      • My Optus cable gave me better download speeds, 101Mbps but the upload speed was around 1.5. NBN gives me 87Mbps so backwards step) but about 34-37Mpbs upload.

        • exactly so if you only care for downloads and can deal with a 1mbps upload which is serviceable (compared to many aussies on ADSL and FTTN) I strongly recommend you stay on cable (telstra/optus whoever is in your area) until NBN disconnects your obsolete technology (which is normally a fair period after your new NBN tech connection is available). I waited a year and a half to switch and even after the final cutoff date it still worked for a month while I had both services.

          • @abuch47: Optus sent me a letter saying that my cable will be cancelled within 3 months of NBN being available and even a date, although it is 2 weeks past the date and they still havent cancelled the optus cable even though i got NBN installed a week prior to that date.

    Any chance they will be worse than my company for the same service, which was Adam internet before it was bought by internode before it was bought by iinet before it was bought by TPG?

    • Internode never bought out Adam internet though?

      iiNet bought Internode in late 2011 and then iiNet bought out Adam in mid 2013.

      • I knew it was something like that. Like sands through an hourglass, so is the ownership of my telco.

        • Haha yeah, still pretty bad. Wasn’t too bad when iiNet bought out Internode because then I got access to iiNet’s DSLAM instead of only being on an Optus DSLAM through Internode.

          But the day they then sold out to TPG spelt the end for it all!

      I bailed too, looking at Aussie Broadband now.

      Hoping they see this pricing NG and match it.

    • DITTO…..

      Ive been with Tangerine on their 50mbit plan via FTTP… The evening speeds were intolerable, even worse than My Republic.

      Fortunately I cancelled within the two week trial. Certainly the worst ISP, speedwise, I've been with.

  • How long does it take to switch from ABB?
    Can I nominate a date for the transfer?
    Who is the backhaul provider?

    • Transfer times will vary based on your NBN technology.
      FTTP/FTTN/Fixed Wireless usually 4 - 8 hours after the order is submitted.
      HFC, unfortunately you'll need to disconnect your existing service so that we can place a new order. This can lead to some downtime while NBN update the status of your line. You can nominate a preferred start date during the order. Vocus is our national backhaul provider.

      • This is very odd - there is no porting on HFC?

        • At this stage this is not possible with our upstream carrier. We hope to be able to process HFC fast transfers within the next few months.

          • @tangerine01: Is this only when moving from non Vocus providers?

            It is moving from a Vocus provider to Tangerine the same?

            • @spaceflight: At this stage any HFC transfers have to be done by disconnect/reconnect.

              • @tangerine01: How long downtime for switching on HFC?

        • Nope I on the same boat gotta disconnect first before switching wait for the port to be free then swap !!

      • Thanks Rep.

        I am on FTTC so I would expect 4-8 hours as well?

  • Hi Rep,

    1) Do you use PPPOE or IPoE?
    2) When does this promo expire?
    3) Does this $10 off for first 6 months stack with $25 sign up credit?

      Hi Joe,
      Our connections use PPPoE.
      At this stage there is no end date of the promotional pricing.
      Any referral codes posted on online forums may be void and not valid.

  • Great price. I hope you won't be the next Mungi?

      Tangerine has been a successful NBN provider for nearly 5 years. It has an experienced management team who have operated in the industry for 15+ years. Mungi didn't make it to 12 months.
