Live now!

Website is slow right now but live chat and the sales phone number are processing orders.

1000/50 - $149 a month

250/25 - $129 a month

Check what speed tier your HFC can get

Some things to be aware of:
Because this is a new plan, we don't yet know what the typical evening peak speed will be, so you'll notice that our Critical Information Summary and Key Fact Sheets for now just list the 250 plan peak evening speeds. We think the plan should achieve off-peak speeds of up to 80-90%, depending on the technology type.

      It’s all relative, downloading a ps4 game might be great with 100mbps (12 MB/ second) - have the spare cash around for this plan and you’ll be downloading it 10 times faster ( 120 MB/ second)

      • sheikyerbouti on 27/05/2020 - 10:13

        So every few months you can save 30 minutes.

              Darwin, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Hobart, Canberra, Coffs Harbour, Mandurah are all large regional (and some Capital) cities and are largely FTTP. Townsville in particular is the most fibre connected city in the country.

      Nothing is better than FTTP. HFC is better than FTTC. NBN is poor at all though. So HFC is better on TPGs private network as a point.

          Not sure where you got lost.

          FTTP is the best. God given access tech.
          HFC done right is ok. NBN HFC is dog shit with a bow. Max 50Mbps upload.
          FTTC is crap. With sprinkles. Highest fault rate.
          FTTN is a copper investment that is waiting for a down turn in copper mining to make maximum returns. Literal garbage.

          Wireless. Why bother.

          Satellite. For tracking cows and farms only.

      • Boogerman on 28/05/2020 - 06:12

        My understanding in order of speed and bandwidth was, from best to worst:
        1) FTTP
        2) FTTB
        3) FTTC
        4) HFC
        5) FTTN
        6) Wireless
        7) Satellite

            @Twix: That’s interesting, because when FTTC was first touted circa 2017, it was supposedly the best thing you could get when FTTP was canned. Googling articles suggest also. Maybe they mean it’s the cheapest to upgrade to FTTP?

            • Twix on 28/05/2020 - 10:20
              +2

              @Boogerman: FTTC has the highest fault rate. It's good when it works. FTTC will be equal with HFC when NBN upgrade the FTTC network yet again.

              FTTC-FTTP is cheaper to upgrade than HFC-FTTP.

            • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2020 - 23:57

              @Boogerman: FTTC was the best thing once they canned everything.

              HFC already existed and was repurposed - it's better than FTTC but had a ton of problems early on.

              FTTC is just FTTN that essentially ensures maximum speeds of the technology, currently 100mbps. Has the potential to go to ~200mbps in some cases in the future. It's a good installation of crap technology.

  • uniqualz on 27/05/2020 - 11:37

    Hey guys. I'm totally confused - maybe as I'm 50yo and a bit of a dud with NBN tech (which sounds a bit shite, tbh), but could I ask some knowledgeable advice? I'm in Sandgate, north Brisbane, I'm 200metres from the tel exchange (so I stick to my old adsl2+ TPG connection) for 30 bucks a month, and I'm meant to get 24mbps download/1mbps upload speeds (never works at more than half that speed though). TPG has told me my ADSL2+ thing runs out in a few months time, so I have no choice but to upgrade to the apparently-shite NBN. It looks like my address is HFC. I have a Fritzbox 7390 modem/router, which is apparently NBN-compliant. I'm a bit of a scab and don't want to spend more than $40 a month on something I can't eat! We use maybe 500gb a month (kids on youtube :-/ ), I guess. Do you guys recommend a particular service/provider that fits that tight-arsed ethos? Do I have any advantage anymore being close to the exchange, or is that just an adsl2 thing? :-|

      Hello neighbour, i'm in Shorncliffe. The exchange distance will not matter when you transfer to the HFC nbn. Its super reliable and fast around here. In terms of provider just pick whoever suits you best and cheapest (try Aussie Broadband), or Telstra. Most plans are unlimited data anyway so your data cap worry isn't necessary.

      • uniqualz on 28/05/2020 - 21:01

      HFC will be miles better speed wise.

      NBN price wise check ozbargain but generally you get what you pay for. There's a reason ABB is widely regarded. Just try and budget for them $79/mo 50/20 unlimited.

      • uniqualz on 28/05/2020 - 21:04

        Thanks Blaze. I've heard ABB are highly regarded, but insofar as 'you get what you pay for', what kind of dodgy scenarios occur with cheapy providers? Say Kogan for example (I presume they're considered a cheapie).. Is it just a case of bad customer service, mostly, with budget plans/providers, or do they pull more dubious moves?

        • Twix on 29/05/2020 - 12:59
          +1

          With budget ISPs you might come across..

          Poor customer service and shorter support hours.
          Network congestion.
          Slower speeds in general.
          Slower international speeds.
          Slower speeds at night when everyone is online.

          If you try a budget ISP don't get locked in a contract!

    • xsacha on 27/05/2020 - 17:01
      +2

      Unfortunately you won't get anything at $30. However, I think you are probably paying for a phone line as well right — probably $20-30 extra? Because you won't need to do that on NBN.
      Belong (owned by Telstra) is $55, Kogan is $53.90 for 6 months. I haven't really looked much at low-end plans.

      Aussie has a $49 plan but you need to be 60+.

      No advantage in being closer to the exchange now.
      I'm in the same place (4017) and I get 100/40 all day long. Will be taking up this 1000/50 too.

      • uniqualz on 28/05/2020 - 21:33

        Thanks xsacha. Yes, you're right.. $25/month phone line I'll save. That'll help the budget - I forgot about that!

  • Chippen on 27/05/2020 - 11:38

    Would love to look at 1000 down. Currently on 250/100 with ABB but with a house full of game streamers and occasionally working from home, I don't want to lose the upload speed.

    Grr this gave me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm stuck forever on fixed wireless, on the current fastest plan of 60/10 (theoretical), which only works when it isn't raining anywhere between my house and the ground station 5 tower hops away. I live 30 minutes drive from an international airport, not in some remote outback setting.

      Careful. I got negged for not being content with 60Mbps tops. If those neggers have FTTP then I would be more than happy to swap with them but I fear they'd never put their money where their mouth is.

    • xsacha on 27/05/2020 - 17:07

      I'm sure they'll upgrade Fixed Wireless to 5G one day.

      • burgermaniac on 27/05/2020 - 22:45

        5G doesn't work, as range is a serious issue. Many 5G towers are being placed on street poles lol

        • xsacha on 29/05/2020 - 13:42

          Range depends on the frequency. It's no different to 4G in that regard.
          If you reuse the same frequency, you'll get same range + efficiency in the new protocol (i.e. faster speeds).

          So either they reuse the same towers with the same frequency (2.3GHz?) or they'll install more towers with higher frequency. This is NBN we are talking about so they'll probably go cheapest option and just reuse.

    • Boogerman on 28/05/2020 - 06:21

      Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, most voters only think of themselves at the ballot box, not the greater good

    • Clear on 27/05/2020 - 19:55

      400 is the realistic speed. They actually gave a huge amount of businesses free/discounted gigabit in exchange for them to talk up the business and boy did it work!

      ABB have more bandwidth in comparison as does Telstra so both would be more consistent.

      20mins in my experience

        From a brand new sign up? That’s impressive

      If you're fttp they will connect it on another port so then you just have to move the cable at the NTD and dont have to worry about disconnection

      Get in touch with Telstra to cancel or they keep charging you.

    What a great coincident - I am getting my NBN (FTTP) installed today. About time! I will test it for a month before I wave Optus 4G home broadband goodbye.
