    And again, as a current abb customer, I'm left out of any discounts or offers.

    • +3

      I read a comment from their facebook post regarding any deals for existing customers, their response was "We're currently working out a deal for existing customers - watch this space!"

      • +97

        I got a new deal as an existing customer 6 months ago. $10 extra a month :(

        • +8

          I was thinking maybe signing up my wife to the plan, she will be a new customer, and in 6 months, we swap again.

          • -1

            @pichxlonco: or a new life

          • +1

            @pichxlonco: Does this method work for same address. Would like to try

          • +1

            @pichxlonco: I doubt that will work. Usually it’s per address.

            • +11

              @sween64: Perfect! He's smart enough to not live at the same address as his wife.

            • +2

              @sween64: Was thinking the same, but what happens if i leave this house, and then someone new comes in and also gets abb?

              • +1

                @pichxlonco: They usually tell abb they are moving and connect to new address

          • +2

            @pichxlonco: Why not try swapping wives and ask her to sign up to ABB for you? ;-)

        • +3

          That's a pretty good deal, mine was an extra $25 per month. So I'm no longer with ABB of course.

        • +4

          That triggered me to move away, now I am regretting it as I am currently fighting with the other provider to get my connection working including having to file a complaint to the TIO. Going from local Aussie support to having to chat through a stupid app for support asking the same questions, I would now rather pay the extra $10 just to be back with ABB.

          • +1

            @BargainBobcat: who did you move to? im considering moving to superloop as they still have Aussie based support and $129 for 1000 down seems easy choice for me as im paying 99 for 100/20

            • +2

              @quikstix: I was thinking about moving to Superloop… but some of their senior staff are weird Trump conspiracy theory supporters which has turned me off the whole company. Their legal counsel on linkedin is a bit loose with the truth as well.

              • @firmspy: Oh wow, links?

              • @firmspy: oh wow do you have any links for that? that's concerning

                • +1

                  @theg00s3: I just posted a link above.

                  • @firmspy: oh wow that's a big yikes. now i'm considering cancelling my superloop plan and going somewhere else

                    • @theg00s3: Future Broadband for me. The setup could be tricky for the less technically inclined (static IP and vlan tagging) but I have found them flawless.

                      • @StevePER: i'm probably gonna move back to Launtel, because they're super solid, and they have an unlimited option (which i really need). i can do up to ~8TB in a month sometimes

                        • @theg00s3: How do you do 8TB in a month? :)

                          • +1

                            @MrMaxwell: Lots of totally legal downloads and quite a bit of uploading other files for backups

    • +21

      It's like that everywhere. Similar to how banks will give better homeloan rates to new customers. Almost every company follows this strategy.

    • They have been alluding to working on something for existing customers, will have to wait and see if anything substancial I suppose.

      • +3

        I ended up leaving ABB last month for SL. A $20 price increase to keep the same plan I had for two years since I got nbn.

        Sorry, but a little too late if they are finally going to do a deal for existing customers….I ended up getting 100/40 500gb for less than my old $85 ABB price ($10 discount for 6 months + 10% refer a friend discount = around $67).

        Not entirely sure what they could offer that isn't simply bringing the prices back down a bit?

        I was always happy to pay a little premium for good on support…but the prices got a bit excessive.

    • +3

      as a current abb customer, I'm left out of any discounts or offers.

      Existing customers were able to take part in their ASX listing last month - 2000 shares for $2000 - currently worth $3600:

      https://themarketherald.com.au/aussie-broadband-asxabb-flies…

      • Bugger. I should have bought some

      • +3

        Some existing customers submitted their information to purchase the shares and were told that ABB had over-committed and that we wouldn't be sold them.

        • +3

          Some? I believe it was most.

        • It was like the first 10k people to get their payment done. I wish it did not get so overhyped, could have bought 10k shares.

      • +4

        Most of us weren't able to get any, they sold out very quick.

    • I was recently advised by one of their reps online that some of the Black Friday specials would also be for existing customers. Perhaps that’s why they suggest there may only be a limited number offered?

    • +4

      It’s why I left.
      Went to Superloop. They have a cheaper base price and a similar introductory deal.
      Maybe in 6 months I’ll switch back to ABB as a “new” customer.

      They both seem equally good.

      • +2

        I hope Internet plans does not go the way of energy companies, its exhausting looking for the best deal every 6 months

    • +1

      Yeah you got an increase on most plans to play for this one :P hahah

    • What's your problem with that? It's basic business sense. You wouldn't do it if you owned the company.

    • +1

      Doesnt everyone whos either a ABB or SL customer switch back and forth between these two ISP atleast every 6 months to take advantage of the discounts?

      • +1

        apparently, that's what i'll be doing with this offer from now on. Thanks!

    • The newbies held out longer to jump on to their deals.

    • If they give all the new customer deals to existing customers then everyone would always be on a discount. No provider does this so just enjoy your reliable internet.

  • +4

    Any deals for opticomm?

  • +4

    I dunno if I'm ready to give up my 100/40 plan with Superloop. I don't know if I'll be able to get it back.

    But this is a good deal. I hate ABB though.

    • Hate them for any particular reason?

      • +1

        I found them really hard to cancel last time around, but otherwise just a vibe. I guess I didn't think they were as good as people were banging on about so they suffered from high expectations.

        • +1

          They are good in terms of Australian based customer support. I'm currently with Belong, have no option to call them when things go wrong, log a request and hear back the next business day, offshore people reading from a script, learning about outages from the Telstra website yourself etc. So compared to this they are good, probably comparable with other ISP's offering Australian support though.

          • +3

            @Marrk: Despite being Australian they were hopeless when it came to anything related to VoIP. They sent me a VoIP box preconfigured….with someone elses phone number. Trying to get the correct login details for my phone number from them and to have the box be able to receive calls on that number too was a nightmare of frustration. Hours spent on the phone speaking to different reps who were totally clueless about their own products. Having Australian based support doesn't mean much if the training is lacking. End of the day they are a business like any other and will cut corners where they can.

        • That's weird.

      • I was having speed issues with data coming in via Asia after they had made some “changes” to their network. I was told to run ping tests and check on whirlpoool for the solution, within 30 minutes of that call I activated a new service with Launtel and rang back to disconnect my ABB service. Since the change the issue has been resolved!

        Also trying to get a refund that I paid in advance on the account took multiple phone calls and 3 weeks to resolve and each time it was like I was inconveniencing the phone rep.

        Australian support doesn’t mean anything if they can’t actually fix your problem or offer customer service.

    • -3

      Don't do it. SL provides much better speeds than ABB.

      • +1

        Define "much"?

      • +2

        Anecdotal, at best.

        • Anecdotal, at best.

          As all forum posts lol

          Accc broadband speeds comparison says abb is just same same as rest of competition

      • Not sure how SL can provide much better speed when I'm consistently getting 800-950Mbps download speed. Can SL make that 1.5Gbps?

        • You got a 10G network card? We've got a 10G link (or 2?) to the office, it's pretty sweet.

        • Is that real world throughput or speed test?

          • @9839002: Speed test, my PC is unfortunately maxed out at 800ish Mbps downloading FFXV from Steam (100+ GB). Old i7-6700k can't do it.

    • +1

      Based on their current pricing the 100/40 will come down to $89 - that's what i'm paying SL anyway and i imagine you too if you've been with them for ~12 months

    • +7

      Heard about the price rise, not a contract though, you are free to leave.

      • -5

        orly? that wasn't explained. thanks - I will call SL in the morning and see what they will offer.

        • +11

          Good to see you bothered to do your research first, before ranting about them…

          smh

          • @KangaDrew: You cannot be 100% sure he is not like me (on ABB contract still).

            • +2

              @netsurfer: If he was on a contract then price increases wouldn't effect him until the contract expired.

      • Earlier on, they had a contract option (24 months for that "free" modem router). I am still stuck on a contract (ending soon though).

        • If he's not on a contract, he needs to stick it to the man.

  • How long do you have to be “away” from ABB to count as a new customer?

    • +3

      6 months.

  • -3

    Deals have prices. Should be removed until confirmed

    • +3

      The deal is confirmed - $20 off 6 months.

      • +1

        What if they raise the price by $25 during the period.

        Then you save negative $5 lol

  • +5

    This is a pretty vague deal. What NBN100 plan are they referring to? I'm not sure why the final price isn't listed. Is it bound to change?

    Currently NBN100/20 will come down to $79
    NBN100/40 down to $89

    These are unlimited. Then there are the limited plans.

    I recommend check out SL 6 month deal or MATE's everyday prices which are similar.

    • +1

      Exactly. It's an ad.

      • +1

        Classic OzMarketing

    • +1

      +1 for MATE. Always $79

  • +3

    Just switched to Superloop :) Hopefully after 6 months I can jump back on a nice deal for ABB

    • how long did it take to swap, i would like to know if i can make it before Belong first of month charge

      • +4

        5mins on fibre

        Been with SL 2 weeks, identical to ABB. Over provisioned also.

        • +1

          Yup, at times I am getting like more than 100Mbit speed, which I signed up for (100/40). And churning is pretty much instantaneous.

        • +1

          Its pretty much also 5 mins on FTTN, but you might have to power cycle the modem

      • I made at 1 day before my ABB billing cycle.

      • It took me less than 24 hours to churn from Aussie Broadband to Superloop if that helps

      • I switch between ABB and SL every coupe of months to take advantage of these 'new customer' specials. It always takes no more than about 15 mins and Im on FTTN. It always does require disconnecting power to my modem/router for a couple minutes then it connect to the new ISP just fine.

  • +9

    Was on a 100/40 500gb for $80/mo with ABB. They jacked the price to $95/mo. Left to superloop for 100/40 $69 month.

    So much for keeping grandfathered plans, the dogs.

    • +4

      Same situation as me. How they can justify a $15 a month increase AND halving upload from 40 to 20 I’ll never know. Such an insult the way they went about it.

    • Where did you find the superloop 100/40 for @$69, showing $83.95 after discount

      • +2

        Probably this deal

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/489748

        I jumped on it and pretty sure i'll never leave now with UL 100/40 at $89

        • Well I wouldn't say never, there should be changes in pricing next year as new technology is deployed.

          But yes, I was on that offer too and now just sticking out of convenience. Speeds have been great.

  • +4

    I recently saved 25% off ABB… by switching to SL

  • Just move guys. They will not learn or listen. I negotiated 2 free months with internode for 8 months total commitment after the 6 months.

    Can't fault ABB service though. Second to none.

    • +5

      Yeah, they don't seem to care, and keep flinging the "oh, but we offer local support" (so does Superloop), and "their bandwidth is more expensive as there's less congestion" (how do they support that claim?).

      I give up… movin' to Superloop. I don't care how good their customer support is, to increase prices when no other ISP has, then to repeatedly offer discounts to new users, competitions, waste money on television advertising, not to mention they informed us of the increase just weeks after listing on the stock exchange and giving us the option to buy shares… is the price rise a coincidence?

      That saying "second to none", so it's one better than nothing? That doesn't make it sound so good (I never understood it lol).

  • -3

    so many entitled people in this thread "wahhhh ive been a customer for x time pls gibe me discount wahhhhh".

    (mod: edited), you're the same type of person who asks for a discount when there's barely any margin of profit for a business

    • +8

      We're not asking for discounts, but other ISPs and mobile carriers generally "grandfather" existing users on their existing plan and pricing.

      Any price increase/plan change should only be passed onto new users.

      • Grandfathering is so early 2000s. To be visible ISPs can't do that anymore. I think that you should be allowed to contract 6-12-24 months to get a new customer discount though.

        • +2

          I think that's a fair trade-off. In order to be locked into a plan/price, i'd go on a contract.

          If Aussie BB offered that, i'd accept it. I'm happy with their service, but raising their prices in this manner, seems a bit "wrong", considering that it looks like they're just trying to increase their share price for shareholders, wasting money on TV commercials and competitions, and offering discounts for new customers.

          There's also the new plan 75/20 which they introduced at the same price as the "old" 100/20. And, the disparity between the next level tier with Fetch included (which did not increase in price) and only has a $10 difference from the increased 100/20 plan.

          These plan changes/increases should've been passed onto new customers rather than leaving existing customers pissed off (pardon the language).

  • What are the T&C's? I just weeks ago churned away from ABB but would churn back for this deal.

    • New customer only are normally 6 months. Will have to wait and see…
