    So there is a contract just not for the NBN part.

    terrible deal.

    • pao2x on 18/04/2019 - 19:15

      Is the modem useful if you move to other NBN providers? Of course except for the 4g backup…

        isp provided routers are nearly always garbage.

        • AlexG on 19/04/2019 - 10:35

          I always suspected this, but don't know enough about it. ISP always tries to scare you into using theirs. What's a good router to use for HFC NBN? Or where to research this? (Yes I have already Google'd it but its not easy to sift through the results for a non-expert)

          • WhyAmICommenting on 19/04/2019 - 12:47

            @AlexG: I'm a tplink fan, eg Archer D7

            Asus is popular but rubbish looks imo.

            Edit: not on nbn yet, due to the liberals mish mash network be careful your exact type (fttn, fttp) etc is confirmed working by other nbn users with the router you choose

        It will work, but won't offer you much.

    • Marrk on 18/04/2019 - 19:17

      This won't suit those who like to move from BYO plan to BYO plan, though I can see this from Vodafone's perspective. They only want to support the one piece of hardware and can offer 4G backup.

      I would consider doing this for 6 months, moving down to their 50Mbps $69 plan and getting a bundle discount due to having other services with them. Though that is just my personal situation.

        "those who like to move from BYO plan to BYO plan"

        Absolutely nothing wrong with this.

        ISp changes takes mere hours not days and no contracts just protects to user who can freely leave whenever they want if the service provided turns to shit or better deal is available.

          Never said there was anything wrong with moving from provider to provider with a BYO router.. simply stating that this plan is not suited for everyone - particularly those who already own a good non ISP router / want the freedom to move from deal to deal.

    • coxymla on 18/04/2019 - 19:45

      If one has op shops near them go and have a look for Telstra Gateway Max. I've found quite a few of them and they are very capable NBN modems/routers.

      • bobzor on 19/04/2019 - 08:02

        but they are locked to telstra? no?

          nope

    • asa79 on 19/04/2019 - 04:59

    • asa79 on 19/04/2019 - 05:00

      You can sign up without the modem as well

      cashback type of websites are designed for people who just click and forget, then a few months later finding some suprise $$ available for a treat, not for someone who is waiting for the fund to become available for next week's grocery.

  • sween64 on 18/04/2019 - 20:12

    83 Mbps is a little low

    • DogGunn on 18/04/2019 - 20:25

      It's actually relatively high when you compare to most RSPs. AusssieBB is 90. Optus is 80. Telstra is 80.

      That said, it's an average for "evening speed". Could be higher or lower.

    Vodafone 4G Backup: "… You
    must call us to activate this service. It is available until the fault is
    resolved or for a period of 30 consecutive days (whichever occurs
    first). Speeds for this service are limited to a maximum of 12Mbps
    (download) and 1 Mbps (upload)."

    What's the point to have a backup connection when it is not switching automatically?

    Interesting if it is possible to jump on the modem and connect 4G in the config manually … Or if the cable is removed from WAN interface will it enable 4G interface and set the default route via it automatically?

    • asa79 on 19/04/2019 - 05:03

      It's set as always on and will fail over when no broadband available. When my brother picked his modem he was connected via 4g till the nbn was activated then the 4g switched over to nbn

  • wayward-captor on 18/04/2019 - 21:23

    we have the nbn 50 plan and fttp, just did a speed test and got 43.7Mbps down and 18.4Mbps up while streaming HD

    havnt had any issues with them, whenever it swaps to 4g and back to nbn it seems to go slower but a restart fixes that

  • fab boy on 18/04/2019 - 22:36

    "Max modem cost $180. Total min cost $249. Offer ends 30/06/19. T&C apply."

    For whatever reason if I cancel the service, the maximum cost would be $429 ($180+$249). Am I correct?

    • coxymla on 18/04/2019 - 22:46

      I think Total Min Cost $249 is modem = $180 (aka $5 * 36) and 1 month of service $69.

    • Meovel on 19/04/2019 - 09:26

      • BuDWiZe on 19/04/2019 - 09:37

        Yes you are correct I should have stayed the reference to $20 off for 6 months

    • vr4indian on 17/05/2019 - 12:19

      Ha ha

      NBN gives $160 rebates to wholesalers

      Wholesalers gives $120 over 6 months to end users…

  • serpserpserp on 19/04/2019 - 09:12

    So is the bundle discount on top of this discount? So would be ~$62 a month with NBN and 2 mobiles connected?

    • Marrk on 19/04/2019 - 09:15

      Yep, 10% off each service if you have 3 services with them.

  • twister292 on 19/04/2019 - 11:30

    Do VF provide any option to BYO modem? I have FTTP and ABB were happy to let me bring my own router

  • Whomastadon on 19/04/2019 - 14:38

    Just to confirm, if you leave this deal you only have to pay whatever is left of the $180 modem fee?

    Can you pay it outright or do you HAVE to pay it off $5 a month for the remaining of the 36 months?

    • Marrk on 19/04/2019 - 23:03

      The modem is free whilst you are with them ($5pm discounted to $0pm), if you leave them you will see a charge on your last bill for $5 x the remaining months.

  • PixelPaul on 29/04/2019 - 19:34

    if they had dedicated IPs i would signup, until then: nope.

  • wildstone on 12/05/2019 - 01:08

    If you are on HFC, don't you already have a modem from NBN? In this case, do we still really need Voda's?

    • Archaleas on 21/05/2019 - 21:51

      Just purchased a house, moving in this weekend, address check states i have HFC. What do you mean "don't you have a modem" , interested to know what to sign up to

  • pong5 on 06/06/2019 - 16:14

    I am on HFC in melbourne. Transferred from ABB and only down like 15min and it's ready. I dont even need to do anything to the modem. It's DHCP. I do have bad experience when transferring to another ISP, always down a few days but this time as smooth as transferring to ABB. Quite happy. Speed wise. No complain so far.

  • leo128 on 15/06/2019 - 15:08

    i feel it is not a deal at all or rather at attractive trap. here is a quick view i can see

    a. you sign up with them , modem is mandatory for your sign up (already checked with sale agent).
    b. you will not be paying any amount for modem as long as you are with them. So lets say you have signed up for 6 month with promo deal.
    c. you decided to leave after 6 month then you have to pay delta 30 months (5$/month) modem cost=$150.
    d. If you stay till 36 months you will be 20$ extra for rest of 30 months after months that means (20x30 months) = $600

    So either way you are signing up $150 or $600 extra on top of $69 / month. For me whoever made up this deal is an evil genius.

    • zztrader on 13/07/2019 - 04:38

      I can only agree about this. Its not a deal, its like vodafone are not selling NBN they are selling Hardware and at a premium.

      Most of NBN users after being connected from various RSPs have a stack of modems so what in the hell are Vodafone thinking? IMO their marketing director should Resign or be Fired for such a lame vision towards its so called NBN Product that nobody wants because of a stupid modem which after a year or two is outdated. How Dumb is that!

  • Revmister on 18/06/2019 - 14:01

    Has anyone actually managed to get the deal but with BYO modem?

    • andysa on 27/06/2019 - 18:25

      I rang them and they said it wasn't possible.

      • booboo on 28/06/2019 - 18:37

        Yeah I just got the same response. Pretty frustrating. Means I'm locked in for 3 years unless I want to pay $5 a month for every month remaining out of the 36. A dealbreaker for me - can't just sign up for 6 months then look around

        • atw on 20/09/2019 - 22:10

          Went on online chat, same plan, no vodafone modem required to purchase (so no contract). You can bring your own modem.

    For those noting about having to buy the modem. I was in store yesterday asking about this and theY noted that if you decide to move away from Vodafone and if you do not want the modem, then return it and there would be no charge for it. Based on that then its a decent deal as one gets the modem for free for the duration of your subscription with them.

    Edit: They noted that it started this on the Website but not spotting it anywhere so yet to clarify my above comment!

    • johnno1987 on 27/07/2019 - 17:25
