I'm currently on a kogan prepaid plan with 3gb/month and everything is fine but expiring soon. Any suggestions on whether it would be fine moving to the Catch Connect plan for $99/year ? They are also Optus network but I've seen reports of people getting significantly poorer bandwidth performance on there compared with Kogan. Kogan has had great performance for me.
If it's significantly worse performance than I might have to go with Boost mobile deal for $150/year.
Have you tried VoWifi on Telstra in your basement?
No (WUT)
Voice over Wifi, which is available on Telstra and Boost…
I would suggest catch the one which boost your signals the most.
Sign up for the Catch deal ($15 for 3 months with 54GB). See how it goes.
Also use cashrewards for $5 cashback
Getting worse connection with Catch than I did with Kogan ugh
They are also Optus network but I've seen reports of people getting significantly poorer bandwidth performance on there compared with Kogan.
Honestly you'll have to try for yourself. Where I work my Kogan roams onto Optus because the Vodafone signal is so poor. When that happens the bandwidth on the Optus network (using my Kogan sim) seems to be much better than Vodafone.
Anyone have problems porting out from Catch? Trying to port to Boost but they keep failing…
Yes, porting from Catch to Boost failed for me too about 6 weeks ago. Had to get a CSR to do it manually. Glad I did though because Boost works very well…
whats CSR?

Every situation is different. In my apartment basement, Optus has 75% bar 4G, then I moved to ALDImobile thinking it's using Telstra and should have better reception, nope, 0% bar, can't even text.
If you are happy with your current provider (cost etc), why change.
If this is cheaper for you then go for it, you can always go back to Kogan.
