How Much Do You Pay for nbn?

Got a month left on my current contract with Internode paying $80 a month for 50mbps - Unlimited (got a free month for the 6 month contract so it wasn't a bad deal at the time)

Service wise I would say Internode have been about a 8/10. Generally pretty good, were useless when I moved house but otherwise no complaints - customer service has always been local based from my experience (unlike Telstra which I was with last who were hopeless)

I'm doing a bit of research I feel like $80 a month is a bit standard there are a few 'sign up' deals where you pay less for 3-6 months then it hits the $70-$80 mark.

Anyone got any amazing deals they want to share or should I just accept that is where the NBN market it at right now?

Has to be unlimited and in the 50mbps range or better - I'm not complaining about $80 a month but just I know the savvy individuals of OzBargain can always do better then I can at finding deals!

    $70 TPG 50/20 Get a consistent 7ms 46/19.

    AGL are offering $65 for AGL customers but I'm not sure how good it is.

      AGL are using Southern Phone for nbn. Stay with TPG.

    Currently $109 Superloop for 1000/50. They recently pushed a free speed upgrade from my 250/25.

    • hashtagbargain on 24/04/2021 - 00:15

      Superloop has been rock solid for me on hfc. Loving the 250 mbps speeds for $75 monthly promo currently. Hope nbnco revises wholesale pricing so this becomes the standard pricing.

    On TPGs private fttb, $60 per month for unlimited 100/20 in Melbourne.

    Super happy with it.

    • Gunther on 22/04/2021 - 13:38

      TPGs private FTTB here in Brisbane…. its $59.99 per month for unlimited 100/40. It looks like we get a better deal up North!

    • bobbified on 22/04/2021 - 14:46

      Have to agree there! For the few years that I had it, it barely had any down time and the speeds were quite consistent around 80-90Mbps.

    • Bren20 on 22/04/2021 - 22:29

      If we're gloating about non NBN services…

      I'm on iiNet cable, 120/40 on a speedtest just now over wifi, $40/month.

      • Gunther on 23/04/2021 - 11:41

        Yeah you win, shouldn't your plan speeds be up 350Mbps though?

        • Bren20 on 23/04/2021 - 12:11

          I think the 350Mbps is actually the average evening speed, not the max
          I've never tried to max out the connection, pretty much all my connections are via 2G wifi-n, so I'm not really doing it justice

    • nickj on 27/04/2021 - 10:16

      Same, TPG's private FTTB, in Sydney. $59.99/month for unlimited with 100/40 theoretical max, usually around 89/33 in reality according to speedtest. Had it for ~3.2 years, it's been very good.

      The provided Huawei HG659 modem is so-so, need to turn off a few things to get it to work sensibly:
      * Switch to sensible DNS (e.g. I use Dnsmasq for the LAN that then uses Google DNS + OpenDNS)
      * Home Network -> LAN Interface -> RA Settings -> Untick: Enable RA -> Save. Without this, accessing subtitle sites using TPG doesn't work, need to untick this box for it to work.
      * Internet -> Forwarding -> ALG -> Enable SIP ALG: untick -> save. Without this, cannot register or make VoIP SIP calls over WiFi. Need to untick this box for it to work.

      My main whinge is not the internet, it's the limitations & restrictions that flow from the bundled phone service. I use the landline less than ever before due to the shift to mobile calls & messaging apps & video conferencing, but when I was previously with internode NBN they had an included voicemail service, where if you didn't answer the phone call you would get an email with an attachment of the message the caller left. That was great. I wish TPG had something like that, but they don't, instead you have to provide your own old-school answering machine. TPG also prevent you from using other VoIP services, they want to lock you technically & contractually into using theirs, which is a bit rubbish.

      I'm on this plan as well. Love it. I've seen the offers for free uplift to 250 but I know they'll get me at the end of 6 months. And the drop back will then be 100/20

      • Loopenip on 27/04/2021 - 18:46

        They upgraded us without telling us though, after a planned outage I tested the speed and lo and behold it was in the 250-280Mbps range

          from my understanding its on a 12-month contract. You'd think they would just leave themselves open to people exploiting the offers.

    Once that discount ends, I will go to another provider with a discount

    I go for quality before price but then churn between the quality providers regularly for the non-loyalty discount.

    I consider AussieBB, Superloop and Future BB to be quality providers.

    was with ABB $65 for 50/20 until my six month honeymoon discount expired.
    now with Superloop $59.95 for 50/20 for the first six months.

    ABB was a smooth experience for my initial connection and installation after Optus HFC service was discontinued and Superloop I also cannot fault so far. The Churn was completed in an hour or so.

  • bigbadboogieman on 23/04/2021 - 13:13

    Have used:

    Now with Spintel…

    Generally around the $50-$60 mark per month for either 25 or 50 speed, unlimited data.

    Main thing is to leave after each 6 months intro pricing ends…

        All were quite good.

        Just put a calendar reminder, and move out prior to the price hike.

        ABB had ok customer support, but couldn't make the speed faster. Superloop support was ok too. Tangerine… Didn't need support.

    • tajid on 26/04/2021 - 22:18

      do you wait till the 180th day before cancelling with your current provider and sign up with the new one?

      What's the most efficient way to minimise cost and down time when porting?

      • movieman on 27/04/2021 - 06:28

        Sometimes it passes 6 months, and we then move over before the next billing date.
        Once I stuffed it up, and CANCELLED the ABB service before joining Superloop… There was no way to move over, without waiting quite a few days.

        Please ensure the old service remains ACTIVE until after the new service is working, and only then cancel the old service. Lesson learnt.

        Also, try porting a few hours before the new tech support closes, as sometimes new details need to be entered for the modem based on your NBN type (ie we have FTTN). The new provider can give it to you.

        • tajid on 27/04/2021 - 10:23

          Thanks. I thought we don't need to tell old provider of switching for FTTN or FTTC?

          • movieman on 28/04/2021 - 17:50

            @tajid: Yeah, don't tell them.
            Once new service is functioning, then cancel the old one.
