Came across this deal at the Brisbane City JB Hi Fi Store. I signed up as my current ISP doesn’t perform too well at peak periods (I’m currently getting around 15-20mb and I pay for NBN100 on FTTP)

New / Port-in Customers Only

Telstra NBN 50
Unlimited Data
Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 (with 4G back-up)
First Month Free
$100 JB Hi Fi Gift Card
All for $90 p/m

Note: Modem at no additional charge unless you cancel before 24months, just pay the remaining cost of the Modem to cancel early

I’m not sure when this expires as the store rep said there is no end date and can be pulled anytime, nor do I know if this is at all stores as I wasn’t able to locate this offer searching online.

Not a bad deal at all. The Modem is a really good one and can be used later on (will need to self configure if going to another ISP).

      • BuyNow Think Later on 12/07/2019 - 17:16

        Can you get 90+ mbps during off-peak periods with Tangerine?

      • Wystri Warrick on 12/07/2019 - 17:27

        Yup Tangerine is crap, I get pathetic speeds, up to 20mbps down if I'm lucky during peak time. I'm On the 50/20 plan.
        When I was with Kogan I got a consistent 45mbps even during peak times on the 50/20 plan.

      • BluBoy on 12/07/2019 - 20:14

        I knew who it was before you even wrote that! I tried them out and had the same experience.
        They must know it as well - They had me sending daily speed tests (which were of course ignored)

        I was lucky and was able to cancel and get a full refund.

        • CC123 on 12/07/2019 - 17:24

          Ah I see, I thought since the modem had no upfront cost, that normally means that you are on contract. Thanks for the info though.

              @terrys: Yeah I saw that - 99% if the time when a modem comes 'free' is when there's a 12 or 24-month contract involved.

      Could you please kindly tell me more about your experience with Kogan?
      How's their speed in peak?
      Any drop out?
      How fast did they connect your service?
      Is there anything you like and don't like?
      Thanks!

        I was with Kogan for at least 3 months, excellent speeds and ping, always maxed out my connection.
        Only had one drop out.
        Was connected on the same day as ordering or the next day, can't remember.
        Excellent service, only thing I didn't like was no Australian based call centre.

          NBN 50 $66/m, free modem, no connection fee, no contract
          it may be a good idea to have a try

          • Wystri Warrick on 12/07/2019 - 17:49

            @TanedaR: I'm going to go back to them once I'm finished with Tangerine.
            Should also mention I was on the Kogan 50/20 plan.

    • Eelman71 on 12/07/2019 - 17:44

      I'm with Kogan, and my speeds are pretty ordinary (15-20Mbps on 50Mbps plan) through WiFi. I'm figuring it's because the MODEM is just a free one when I signed up. What MODEM would get me up around the 42Mbps they advertise? Otherwise, I can't fault them.

      • Wystri Warrick on 12/07/2019 - 17:57

        It depends on what connection is available to your premises. If you've got fibre to the node it'll depend on how far away you are from the node and the condition of the copper cable from the node to your premise.
        The max speed available to my premises is just under 50mbps. I'm using the Kogan modem too, I'll have up to 4 devices connected at once and no problems.

      • Gomo on 12/07/2019 - 18:06

        I'm on Kogan never have any problems with speed I'm on 50mbit FTTP Just ran a speed test 43mbit/18mbit

      • Ramrunner on 13/07/2019 - 08:48

        Easy - try the speedtest while you're cabled in with a LAN connection, then try again without.

        If the WiFi is significantly lower, it's crappy WiFi.

        If you want to know what you're REALLY getting to your house always test with a cable.

        Modem/routers CAN make a difference to the speed, but I've found typically only 6-7Mbps which doesn't explain why you're still nowhere near 50Mbps.

  • ingster on 12/07/2019 - 17:19

    this says speed boost $0, is this boosting from 25mbps to 50? Or 100?

    • unity1 on 12/07/2019 - 17:45

        +10

        but "Modem cost is calculated at $9/month if you terminate earlier than 24 months"
        so basically it's a 2 year contract for NBN 50 only, not NBN 100,
        $86.25/m with a $100 JB Gift card, which you can get it for the cost of $80 when Coles runs a promotion.

        Be warned, Telstra smart modem gen 2 is supplied by two different manufacturers. If you get the Technicolor DJA0231 you are in luck. If you get the other you are in for dropouts slow speeds and nbn hell. Strangely both are sold in the same packaging. Whirlpool is your friend.

  • Riker88 on 12/07/2019 - 17:33

    This post is a deal if you have decided to go with Telstra NBN rather than the other providers (who are obviously cheaper but ?speed). You get a $100 JB gift card and save $90 on the first month compared to joining up directly with Telstra. I recently joined with Telstra on the same plan but without these bonuses, but am happy with the speeds (46mbps peak) compared to my previous ADSL speed of 4mbps

              @Ostrk: Correct, FTTN is beyond bad and old tech, should have never been rolled out.

              Think I read somewhere less than half of the FTTN customers can get 50mpbs, less than 1% can get 100mbps.

              • Ostrk on 13/07/2019 - 00:30

                @ozbloke36: I wonder how much they truly 'saved' by doing this. I reckon that the cost to replace the copper will end up costing much more than if they had just done it in one go thanks to labor costs. I knew from the start that people were getting well under 100mbps on their 100FTTN plan, but I never knew it could go under 50mbps

        • andw on 13/07/2019 - 10:45

                  There are a heap of RSP’s who don’t have any connection fee and contract.

                  *Aussiebroadband
                  *Superloop
                  *Exetel (they have a no contract offer with no connection fee, you just pay $10 more a month on their 50/20 compared to if you go on a 12 month contract)
                  *Leaptel
                  *Spintel
                  *Tangerine Telecom
                  *Mate Communicate
                  *Kogan (Even on Kogan they have no connection fee or contract and even give you a modem as well)

                  That’s just off the top of my head as there’s more. Not saying all of these RSP’s are any good, but I’ve been with both Aussie and Superloop who are both far above TPG.

                  And no, the price you pay isn’t ‘just for the modem’. Take a look at the TPG site, if you move you once again have to pay the $99.95 fee to stay out of contract, doesn’t say anything about including a modem again.
                  For the majority of people they won’t require another modem (especially not some junk TPG would send you where you could easily just grab an unused TG799 off eBay/Gumtree for $20 which is infinity better than what TPG supply, albeit with VOIP locked to Telstra).

                  Also forgot to mention they charge $10 for delivery of the modem (even if you don’t want it) as well as their $20 ‘deposit’ for the VOIP (even if you don’t use it).

                      I just had my TPG NBN hooked up and getting 94MB speed so pretty happy with that.

                      Wow, you’re getting 94Mbps to a local server in the middle of the day, groundbreaking 🙄🙄🙄

                      Not sure if others will give you that quick.

                      Basically any RSP will give you that during the middle of the day. Wait for during peak times, routing, international speeds etc. There’s so much more to an internet connection, but no point trying to explain it to you. Enjoy TPG.

    I am paying $99 for Telstra and stuck with them for another 18 months. But I get free FOXTEL Now

    Hmm for the same price,I get no contract 100/40
    (on HFC I get ~90/38 in peak - currently 93/39 to Melb, 90/35 tri London, 91/32 LA)
    $90/mth no contract, local support (not 24/7)
    Superloop

    Not sure why you’d choose Telstra.

    Just talk to Telstra and get them to throw in the 100mbps speed pack for free, easy. It'll take a bit of work, so save your live chat logs and take down references, but I'm paying 90 for unlimited 100mbps HFC, with the smart gen 2 4g modem

      Yeah all the data out there saying Telstra NBN the fastest but cheap skates will never have the privilege at least know as you plug along with your slow sheet :)

        Genuinely would love to see a single site showing Telstra above Aussie.

    Can anyone comment on 4G back up download speeds? For Gen 1 modem I think it was 6Mbps downlands and 1 Mbps uploads. Is it same for Gen 2 modems?

      It's still the same, 6/1 Mbps. You'll need to make sure that the modem is in a good location for signal. It has an LED to show you if it's in a Poor/Good/Excellent location. It's a backup so you can still browse the internet, it's just not lightning fast. Probably just watch a movie in SD on Netflix/Stan.

    Hey op don't take the negs hard, they are aimed at the deal and Telstra, not you.
    Thanks for taking the time to post a deal :).

    Just get Superloop 100m for the same price.. better speed and better customer service
