SEPTEMBER19

I've been on the Aussie Broadband mailing list for a while now waiting for the next $20 off deal so I could finally switch to NBN from ADSL. Unfortunately it's too late as I've recently signed up to Belong but I'm sure it will be popular nonetheless.

$20 off for the first 6 months using the code "SEPTEMBER 19" on the 50 or 100 plans.

The 50 plan is $59pm for the first 6 months then $79pm thereafter.
The 100 plan is $79pm for the first 6 months then $99 thereafter.

Expires 11:59 pm 30/09/2019

  Off memory, someone on previous threads mentioned that they classify you as new if you weren't with them for 12 months.
  - Nousernamehere on 26/09/2019 - 21:27
    
    It use to only be a few months, but as I said in a comment further down I actually think this is either targeted to specific users or else it's like the last deal where it's only for areas which aren't RFS yet (although don't think it's that as the OP was sent the email with it).

Good deal worth $59 was with then for six months and moved just before it went up to superloop for $75. Similar speed and $5 cheaper. If they would only allow this for all customers or match the $75 of superloop I wouldn't have churned away.

"The 100 plan is $79pm for the first 6 months then $99 thereafter."…

Is this the best deal they've ever had for that plan? I'm on cable and have been delaying switching until a decent offer comes along.

    To be honest, my 100/40 connection on NBN has been so much better than my Optus cable connection. Sure it is $20 more a month by my speeds are outstanding. Extra upload bandwidth has stopped crippling our internet when we come home with our devices and everything is uploading backups all over the shop.

        Moving to the NBN you can get 100/40 with superloop for $89.
        
        Downloads would drop by 15%
        Uploads would increase by 350%

        @Trantor: Oh and get this BS, I had my hopes up wednesday, got this email from telstra, first part said;
        
        "XXXX, we previously let you know about the high demand for nbn™ appointments in Ivanhoe. We’ve been working with nbn co to resolve the delays. We’re pleased to say your home is now ready to connect.
        
        To keep your home phone and internet working as normal, you’ll eventually need to move to the nbn network.
        
        The great news is, your plan is nbn ready if you choose to connect with us. There won’t be any change to your home phone number, monthly bill or contract period."
        
        then the next part was the kicker;
        
        "Important information about your nbn speeds.
        As you’ll be upgrading to the nbn network, any existing speed upgrades on your current plan will be removed when you connect. To move with us and learn how a Speed Boost can help you make the most of nbn"
        
        Wont be any changed? whats removing speed boost? And then making you pay more?

        @Trantor: Standard NBN with telstra is 50/20. Paying $20 per month on top nets you 100/40. As above you might be able to negotiate speed boost if you quote deals/cheaper plans from others.
        
        In same boat as you, was getting 120/6 on Telstra cable, now with ABB and getting 95/38. Before if there was any significant uploads happening, downloads would also drop alot. ABB also lets you retain landline, but it'll be VoIP
- DogGunn on 26/09/2019 - 21:32
  
  It matches an order they had a while back. If you want to connect to a reputable provider like ABB, this is probably as good as it's going to get.

  The problem is not NBN, it's the private sector. NBN only exists because the private sector was not upgrading Australia's internet while they ripped off Australians.
  
  ISP's are simply pointless middlemen attempting to rip off the customers as much as possible after buying capacity from NBN.
  
  For example Telstra's NBN customers are facing a download speed decrease from 100Mbps to 50Mbps … without a change in price. That's absurd. The private sector is simply out to rip people off.
  
  The correct model, as various other countries that are enjoying gigabit speeds up and down for half the cost of Telstra have shown, is for NBN to sell to residential and enterprise customers without the pointless middlemen with a long history of ripping people off.
  
  The CEO of Telstra, laughably, recently wrote an article in the mainstream media where he blamed NBN for Telstra's prices. Ever since it was privatised Telstra has consistently been the most expensive ISP in Australia long before NBN ever came along. I guess the readers are morons.

    No private company could upgrade infrastructure on the scale of NBN.
    That's why we went from dialup to ADSL 1.5 Mbit to ADSL 8mbit to ADSL2 and ADSL2+
    
    ISP's are simply pointless middlemen attempting to rip off the customers as much as possible after buying capacity from NBN.
    
    What about the things they provide you like an email address and customer support?
    
    For example Telstra's NBN customers are facing a download speed decrease from 100Mbps to 50Mbps … without a change in price
    
    That's driven by what the NBN charges for CVC.
    
    The CEO of Telstra, laughably, recently wrote an article in the mainstream media where he blamed NBN for Telstra's prices.
    
    Of course they are to blame. Telstra and all other providers need to buy CVC from NBN.
    NBN directly influences all ISP prices.
    
    Ever since it was privatised Telstra has consistently been the most expensive ISP in Australia.
    
    Now I am in the NBN my internet cost has increased and I get a slower speed than I did when I was with Telstra.

  - Xizor on 27/09/2019 - 06:54
    
    Much easier and cheaper to do in a tiny geographic area. One of our biggest problems holding nbn back is the stupid technology mix and also the focus on roll out rather than upgrades. Both political driven. Once rollout is done you'll find speed offerings will increase especially for fiber and hfc.
    - cycleri3 on 01/10/2019 - 21:59
      
      This argument is flawed and one that the Liberal party uses.
      
      Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane areas have a higher population density than NZ and still suffer from the worst NBN connections (except for satellite) with many homes in these cities rolled out with FTTN.

        @cycleri3: You seem to be cherry picking. I firmly object to the liberals NBN strategy but you need to look at the full picture. Our cities are stupidly riddled with FTTC etc. Half the people i know in Sydney are FTTC (or street corner), i think i know 1 person with FTTN. Due to politics (get non-city votes) much of the cities were left last stages in the rollout and thus eventually got shafted en mass by the liberals changing the technology policy. And then there is all the dodgy contracts the government and NBN signed, alot of ppl have made big coin as part of the NBN courtesy of both sides of politics.

  Better service, or price?
  
  There's an interesting one based in Launceston, Tasmania. Not sure how widely available it is, but excellent support and good bandwidth. I was connected in 2 minutes! Very quick to respond to support enquiries.
  
  It's expensive, but might save you money if you go away or would like to hop around speeds as you pay per day for whichever speed you set it at that day. Only browsing? Set it on 25 Mbps. Family watching streaming, go onto 100 Mbps. Away for the weekend, a few months? - turn it off and don/t pay. I'm still tossing up wether it suits my usage pattern.

    - wfdTamar on 26/09/2019 - 21:44
      
      No, you pay the price of the highest speed you have it on for the day. What I would do is set it on the lowest and only lift it if I needed faster.
      
      The other thing that will affect your speed choice is on the 25 speed you get 5Gb per day in your 'databank' (like a kitty for data). On the 50 & 100 speeds you get 25Gb. The databank can go up to 3Tb and stays there even if you turn the internet off for months.

        And of course it’s different, those deals will have the tag in the title that they’re only available to certain states. Completely different to Launtel who if you’re not in Tas/ACT, good luck with finding out if you’re covered as there’s no coverage map - only an address checker.

I was with ABB on Fttn 50/20 then I switched to Exetel, save me $20/month. ABB has better support when you need help. I had to wait 2.5-3hrs over the phone just to talk with someone on Exetel

  Exetel tbh tells you on their website how busy the hotline is, dunno why it takes them so long to get back to emails however

    Because the one guy that answers the phones is the same guy that answers the emails.

    They had an outage a week or so back. I called through at 0830 when support opened. The voice started I was 150th in the queue, estimated wait time 1 minute. Rofl.
    I do miss ABB support.
    Apart from that, can't really fault exetel.

      Cant fault exetel neither. $55 a month for 500G download (that is hard to reach) for 50/20 service. Always been fast.
      Ok there support is suppost to be slow but I have only used it a few times being with Exetel over the last 10 years.
      Why should I pay extra $10 to $20 per month for faster support that I dont use 99.8% of the time???

        @PerthectDeal: Agreed. I've been with Netspace/ABB for NBN and tbh, contacted Netspace twice in 3 or so years. (Issue was on the NBN side so nothing they could do due to maintenance works).
        Speed between the two were the same. Everyone talks up ABB and their service was fine, but how often do you actually need to contact an ISP??
        
        I'm moving to a new place in a few weeks and waiting for NBN confirmation, but I don't think I'd go back to ABB as their prices are too high in comparison to others now..

        @Maz78: Agreed, was with Optus for many years on Cable contacted support 3-4 times over maybe 5-6 years. Everytime they sent their own tech replaced amplifiers and were generally quite good. Their internet service, lousy, deliberately shaped, congested etc.

ABB for this price is insane. Great offer

Ok I'm actually thinking this is just a targeted code. Got a mate to try and sign up for it to a new place that's never had a ABB connection before in his partner's name and it comes up as invalid. So yeah, I think this is targeted unless someone else can say otherwise?

Damn. I just signed up last week using a mates referral code. This deal seems better :(
- spiff on 26/09/2019 - 23:41
  
  Not better for your mate
- foolsgold on 27/09/2019 - 14:58
  
  In past I've been able to do both.
  - Twix on 27/09/2019 - 22:54
    
    You can't stack referral and discount codes anymore :(
    - foolsgold on 28/09/2019 - 13:40
      
      I used the referral link to sign up, put the promo code, Didnt get the discount on the original account, put a support email in and got the credit manually. But you are probably correct with not being able to do it.

A bit off topic, but does anyone know if the Telstra Gen 2 Modem can be used for NBN?

Currently on Telstra 100/5 cable for $69 a month.

  Yes it can. Do i recommend you use it over a router such as the nighthawk? Never.
  
  "What you can do with the Telstra Smart Modem™ Gen 2:
  
  Access our 4G service on the Telstra Mobile Network using the inbuilt SIM card,
  as well as your home internet connection via ADSL2+ or VDSL2"
  
  ADSL2+, VDSL2 (FTTN), FTTH, FTTC, FW, HFC. Have at it.

    Thanks! Will use it while it lasts.

      NW. Just like Telstra has done with it's copper network. Until it's DEAD!

This was posted 4 years 6 months 29 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
