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.

    if new NBN user on HFC, does the NBN installer need to install anything or can just plug into existing coaxial port?

    • Twix on 29/05/2020 - 13:46

      Yeah the NBN installer needs to connect the Arris cable modem to the NBN.

      • venomx2 on 29/05/2020 - 13:48

        as in can they reuse the existing cable modem port or have to install new box outside and port indoor?

        • Twix on 29/05/2020 - 13:52

          Reuse the existing indoor coax port and outside box in most cases.

    Just upgraded over the phone. Wait wasn't too long.
    Currently getting 450 down/peak
    See how it is tonight
    May need a new modem to reach close to a gig but will give it some more tests.

    • 0031nek on 29/05/2020 - 16:30

      hey mate, I'm wondering what kind of modem that you are talking about to reach close to a gig? I am juggling in the same scenario as well, considering the best ac2200 modem router only having up to 600mbps speed over 2.4ghz wifi? and of course as far as i know modem/router we should get the VDSL compatible or something? TIA

      • Twix on 29/05/2020 - 17:01

        FTTP and HFC use routers. Routers for Gigabit NBN

        VDSL modems are for FTTN and FTTB.

        For best speed results use ethernet cabling or 5Ghz wifi.

      • Thunderstruck86 on 29/05/2020 - 18:46

        Big ask in wifi tbh.
        I'm using a unifi usg 3p and it's about to go into nuclear meltdown.

    • Twix on 29/05/2020 - 16:49

      What router do you have?

      Some router settings might need tweaking.

      • Robmatho on 29/05/2020 - 17:43

        Sorry should have specific router. Force of habit during ADSL days. I'm actually using a Telstra smart modem gen 2 that I actually got for free (don't ask lol)

        Currently now I'm getting 600 down. I don't believe it has 5ghz but the speeds are still surprising

        Not sure what router I'll need to reach max but starting to do research now

        • Twix on 29/05/2020 - 18:00

          Haha all good. Telstra smart modem gen 2 does have 5Ghz wifi. Can you do speedtest with an ethernet cable?

          • Robmatho on 29/05/2020 - 22:14
            +1

            @Twix: Unfortunately no ethernet speed test is manageable. I've done some testing tonight. Still only max out at about 500 at 5ghz. Can't find the exact specs of the gen 2 which is a pain. But I'm guessing it could be restricting it

            • Robmatho on 29/05/2020 - 22:23
              +1

              @Robmatho: Managed to plug an Xbox one via ethernet.
              Wifi dl speed Ave 160
              Ethernet dl speed 685.

              Big difference.

            • Twix on 29/05/2020 - 22:46
              +1

              @Robmatho: 500 on 5Ghz wifi is decent. All I know is that it's wireless AC with dual band 4x4 antenna and MIMO.

              Thanks for the ethernet results!

  • evanjd on 29/05/2020 - 16:29

    Been on it for an hour and it's great. Speedtest is at 940/40ish. Aside from the speedtest it's very difficult to saturate the connection.

    • 0031nek on 29/05/2020 - 16:30

      kudos! I'm still struggling going thru their website! what modem/router you're using and type of connection wifi/lan/wifi2.4ghz/5hz etc? TIA.

      • evanjd on 29/05/2020 - 16:39
        +1

        Give them a call, it took me all of 5 minutes to get switched over.

        Router's an Ubiquiti USG, and connecting to Wifi on an AC Lite. Maxing out at 940/40 on wired, 300/40 on wireless (11ac 5GHz). Haven't kicked anyone off the Wifi and there's 12 clients on my AP so speeds probably not indicative of actual capacity.

  • hellrazorone on 29/05/2020 - 17:38
    +3

    I'll stick with my 100/40 for $80pm
    Max with our HFC is 250/25
    The cut from 40 to 25 up offsets the benefit of the increased download, and when you factor in the additional $49pm its doesn't work.
    Great for those that can get the 1000/50 though

    • polstralian on 29/05/2020 - 18:56

      How do you pay $80 for 100/40? It's currently at $99. I just signed up for it.

        It's a grandfathered plan, I'm on it as well, that's why I'm hesitant to change, there's no going back to $80.

          Yeah in the same boat. I'm on the grandfathered 100/40 for $80 with Aussie. It's very tempting to switch but like above, there's no going back

        As mentioned above, grandfathered plan given that I've been with ABB for a while.

    • daitro on 30/05/2020 - 00:09

      That 40 is more like 34 and the 25 turns out to be 23. So you're really only losing Maybe +-9Mb/s

    • fatal on 29/05/2020 - 18:27

      You pay the diffference in price between the plans, not a pro-rata rate.

      It has an option to continue the upgrade and stay next billing date or return to the old plan.

      • ShortyX on 29/05/2020 - 18:37

        Ta, not much point paying the difference now for a few days access at the higher speed. I might try it next week.

    I wonder how many people require anything larger than 50/20 broadband.

    • Axelstrife on 29/05/2020 - 19:23

      That thinking is why many people are stuck with sub par NBN called FTTN with speed between 25mbps to 100mbps if you are lucky and close to the node, cause all the government was thinking about is now not the future where people will use more data.

      To download 200GB which is almost size of modern warfare for example
      25/5 = 19 hours 15 minutes
      50/20 = 9 hours 32 Minutes
      100/20 = 4 Hours 46 minutes
      1000/50 = 29 Minutes

    No point in practice imo, apart from Google/AWS/Azure , little or no local servers that would allow you draw that much.

    Specially if you deal mainly with Yankee or EU (non Google/AWS/Azure) servers like me , 100/40 is more than enough.

      Because the NBN is an ever-changing beast. Launtel's expected speed were/are based off of a CSV file while AussieBroadbands requests a service qualification from NBN's backend.
