I found this on whirlpool.

Existing customers use https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/lp/freakinfast/customer

100/20 $89/month (Was $99)
100/40 $89/month (Was $109)
250/25 $99/month (Was $129)
1000/50 $119/month (Was $149)

Due to the recent HFC technology shortages and the potential demand on our call centre, we feel it is important to manage demand and as such, we have decided to put our existing customer Focus on Fast promotions on hold.

If customers decided to upgrade their plans now via MyAussie, the system is ready and will apply the promotion (provided the service is eligible), but we will be holding off our communications of Focus on Fast to existing customers until later this week.

Plans not available at all premises. Only redeemable with an existing active Aussie Broadband nbn™ service. Current nbn™ plan must be held for a minimum of 3-months prior to the upgrade to be eligible to receive the discount.

Customers are eligible to upgrade to any supported plan above/faster than their existing active plan

Update. Thanks to kain0rer

They've scrapped the need for being on the same plan for 3 months, it's now as long as you haven't been on the same plan you're upgrading to in the last 3 months.

Focus on Fast Terms & Conditions

New customers for 100/20, 250/25 and 1000/50 use https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/lp/freakinfast

      It isn't that it is excluded. Opticomm is a private network, an alternative to the nbn.

  • XeKToReX on 02/02/2021 - 11:27

    I think this is only for people coming from <100mbps to 100mbps+

    So if you're on 100mbps+ then no discount for you.

    Unfortunate that we on 1gbps could have saved $180!

    • XeKToReX on 02/02/2021 - 11:30

      In the WP Thread, the rep said that you would have to change to a lower tier for 3 months to become eligible for the Focus on Fast pricing for the remaining 3 months.

    • Haydos90 on 02/02/2021 - 11:45

      That's not what the terms and conditions say, it just says "Customers are eligible to upgrade to any supported plan above/faster than their existing active plan".

      So as long as you're upgrading at least one step it should be available.

      Still means no luck for those already on the 1000mbps plans though…

        So existing long term customers who have been supporting ABB the most, on their highest plans, are being shafted. I was happy with ABB until today, but am now very tempted to port away to Superloop.

          Same. I'm paying for 100/40, which is the fastest my piece of shit HFC POI will support. I would happily upgrade and pay for the 1000Mbps plans, but there is no way for me to access this pricing. Shafting your high-value customers seems like a pretty crappy way to do business. I have had nothing but good things to say about ABB up to now, but this is pretty shit.

  • umoddbro on 02/02/2021 - 11:27

    How do you change it, still showing $99 for 100/20 on the abb portal.

  • Jamiea on 02/02/2021 - 11:27

    As much as I like ABB, can't really justify the premium price anymore. Their recent price hikes forced me to change to Superloop 100/20 $75/month and the service is identical.

    "If customers decided to upgrade their plans now via MyAussie, the system is ready and will apply the promotion (provided the service is eligible)"
    To me that implies that it won't show the promotion but you will get the discount. That said, I probably won't be trying it myself until I get confirmation.

        I called them. I was told the system won't be ready until 11th Feb and if I manually changed my 100 speed plan to 250 speed via the ABB Portal, I'd be charged the diff in plan cost. Not a very good implementation of this offer I'd have thought.

    • dexx on 24/02/2021 - 22:20

      How do you actually apply for it as an existing customer? I dont see a place to enter a promo code on their portal.

  • greencomet on 02/02/2021 - 11:29

    "Promotional discount reflected in monthly invoice following plan change."

    So it'll show the full plan cost and then they'll deduct the offer price difference each month?

    Edit, confirmed from ABB on Whirlpool forums.

    "The MyAussie Portal will still show the normal pricing, as per the T&C's of the promotion, the discount will appear on your first month's invoice after the plan change is completed."

      It will probably be for all technologies but will be limited on what speeds your connection can reach e.g. FTTN/B/C upto 100/40, HFC/FTTP upto 1Gbps. Though it doesn't appear the promotion is live which is why the prices aren't showing yet.

      Had a similar not shown on an offer in the past and I had to call after that first bill as the reduction was NOT applied.

    You will need to have been on your current speed tier for 3 months before you are eligible for any Focus on Fast promotions as a current customer. However, be assured that when you reach that 3 month point, we will contact you to advise you what options you have available to upgrade.

    • sinners007 on 02/02/2021 - 11:48

      I have been on an eligible plan for over 12 months. When I called them, they said wait for the email & don't manually change plans before 11th Feb or I would get charged the diff in plan cost.

    • MetalPhreak on 02/02/2021 - 15:43

      I was on the 100/40 plan, before they automatically downgraded me to 100/20 when the whole NBN price increase bs happened. Then I had to upgrade to the 100/40 plan again which was in the last three months so I'm not eligible?

          If you are unaware, this deal is a result of the NBN Co's "Focus on Fast" promotion and ABB only gets the rebates when people upgrade to the 100+ plans.

          So it isn't really ABB leaving you out in this particular case, at least.

        I got some dude in Adelaide… definitely a dinkum Aussie. They may have an Australian based retentions team?

        When I went to sign up to Aussie as a new customer using the post link the discount could only be applied to the 100/40 plan, that was the only eligible plan shown in the address check in that page.

        I could pick the 1000/50 in the next screen but the code is invalid for that tier for me (I’m FTTP).

        Ended up just signing back up to Superloop 1000/50 for $129 under my wife’s name (different last name). Order went through and discount applied with no issue.

        I have used 1000/50 tier previously for both Aussie and Superloop and the speeds and experience for me is pretty much identical.

        Never needed support as I am FTTP and it just always works. I might value the support if I was stuck with FTTN??

        The only time I have ever needed to ring either company is to cancel.

        Stayed with Superloop for 6 months, planning to do the bi annual swap. But had daily dropout issues for at least a month and drop out once every other month. Calling them was a pain in the butt and things never got resolved. Went back to ABB and no issues, if there is a dropout the call center is good and I haven't had an issue for the last 6 months. That being said I was going to do my bi-annual switch but now my missus won't let me swap back for the savings.

      • havebeerbelywillsumo on 02/02/2021 - 14:30

      I switched from ABB to Superloop. My FTTN is stable and max sync is 130/50. I haven't had any issues with Superloop. Speeds are the same and it doesn't go down. I haven't had to call their helpdesk. If you have a stable connection, I'd recommend switching. Saves a fair bit a month.

    Maybe they should have run with this 5 months ago and a hell of a lot of us wouldn't have ported when they stitched us up for an extra $25 a month…

      This offer is NBNs doing.

      • Tony-Abbott on 02/02/2021 - 12:11

        Yeah and ABB is still one of the most expensive out there

          They always have been. If you want Dodo pricing go elsewhere.

    i moved onto their 250/25 plan as a promo a cpl months ago for 6months at 109 hmmm i need to chat to support or just finally switch to superloop

    • Tony-Abbott on 02/02/2021 - 12:14

      They won't move you to the cheaper plan (they won't get anything out of NBN) The only way is going to another RSP.

          "….1000/50", if only that was available for all HFC users!

          • Twix on 03/02/2021 - 13:26

            @havebeerbelywillsumo: Ultrafast = 1000/50.

            On Tuesday, NBN said by the end of November, it would have over 25% of its HFC footprint able to get an ultrafast plan.

            "The company expects that by June 2021 over two-thirds of premises in the HFC network footprint will be able to order NBN ultrafast broadband, and it forecasts that by the end of 2021 nearly the entire HFC network footprint should be able to order NBN ultrafast broadband," it said.

            NBN jacks up 750Mbps coverage to 'nearly' all HFC premises by end of 2021

      Just tried the same thing. ABB support said they won't change the plan. Moving to Superloop.

  • patrioticpickle on 02/02/2021 - 12:13

    Strange,

    I've been on the 1000/40 plan for 6 months. Nothing showing in the MyAussie portal. Still showing $149. Might be best to just give them a call.
