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!

    I'm on Flip, nbn 25 (25/?) for $50 per month, and paying 1 month in advance.
    I don't think this plan is available anymore but I guess my account has been grandfathered with this plan.

    I'm happy to have this, without need to churn to a different provider every 6 months.
    Despite all the bad reviews online, it's been relatively smooth sailing. Slight hiccups in the beginning and for a number of days a few months back when it was raining often. There was an NBN maintenance in the area and it was ok afterwards.

  • CocaKoala on 23/04/2021 - 16:40

    $59 for 50/20 with Spintel. I will dump them in the blink of an eye and move to another provider the minute my discount with them expires. I am loyal only to my $$

    • DialADeal on 25/04/2021 - 07:38

      They have been consistently cheaper than the rest. Used to use them for ADSL back in the day

    $45 for 100/20 with Optus. (free speed pack, $20 retention discount, $10 plan discount)

  • drazman2000 on 23/04/2021 - 18:28

    1000/50 for $60 with optus (for 6 months) but ongoing $60 for 100/40 as I get the speed pack fee waived and a $10 loyalty discount and have been with them for 6 years.

  • frewer on 23/04/2021 - 19:08

    $60.45/ month on 50mbps ( 500GB ) with Exetel, Im very happy with it.

  • havabeer on 23/04/2021 - 19:22

    $85 for 250/20 atm with Superloop

  • Shisn0 on 23/04/2021 - 22:00

    I know it's not part of the NBN network but if you happen to live in Geelong, Mildura or Ballarat in Victoria;

    iiNet offers non-NBN Cable plans for $79.99 ($39.99 first 12-months) for unlimited data and advertised typical evening speeds of 350mbps, tho I've had up around 650/40 during quieter times (don't believe they limit their download speeds, not sure about uploads tho), rarely ever drops below 200/30.
    Ping from Ballarat to Melbourne around 12ms for me.

    Service & support wise I've always found iinet and internode to be pretty good.

  • freefall101 on 24/04/2021 - 09:47

    $98.95 on superloop 100/40. About time to churn as I’m through all my discounts.

    I really need more upload speed though, tempted to switch back to fixed wireless to get that. Sadly I’m just outside of the current 5G network area.

    TPG $70 50/20 FTTC, looking to change providers.

    Had a dig around and I think Mate 100/20 for $79 (BYO modem compatibility list) seems to be the best non-promotional deal around?

    Currently getting unlimited 100/40 on Superloop with Static IP for $62.98 due to referrals.

  • HKS on 24/04/2021 - 14:00

    $99 for 100/20 through aussiebb. worth the money for me because i was paying the same at telstra and getting drop outs and not the full speed most of the time and through aussiebb i get 120/25 on speedtest and never had issues with drop outs

  • Ruprect on 24/04/2021 - 15:36

    I'm paying $64.75 a month for 50/20 at Future Broadband. The 50/20 600G a month but with 2000G in the data bank for new customers is $70 which is nothing special on its own but when you add in a routed static IP address and enjoy drama free connection it becomes good value. So why am I only paying $64.75? They allow you to pay in advance and give you a 7.5% discount for doing so… brings the price back to that amount.
    Good value for a high quality connection.

    The downside is they have a sign up fee due to them reselling AAPT business connections but that can be offset to a degree with a referral code… over time it becomes a non issue.

  • JJlikes2eat on 24/04/2021 - 15:42

    Slightly off topic, Optus says 100/40 is the highest speed available for FTTC and can't offer speeds beyond that.
    I recall reading somewhere that higher speeds aren't consistent/guaranteed for FTTC (and some other modes) therefore companies don't make them available (perhaps to minimise risk exposure?).

    Any real-world truth to this?

    • Twix on 24/04/2021 - 18:23

      100/40 is the highest for Fibre to the Curb. There is talk of nbn offering faster but this may not happen. On the TC-2 traffic class consumer plans everything is considered up to and no speeds are guaranteed but that doesn't mean you can't get those speeds. Guaranteed speeds are available on TC-4 traffic class business plans at non OzBargain pricing.

      Fill this out and nbn will email you a Fibre to the Premises build quote within seconds.

      • Twix on 24/04/2021 - 20:35
        +1

        The TC-numbers should be flipped around so TC-4 is the traffic class for consumer plans and TC-2 is the traffic class for business plans.

  • tik tok on 24/04/2021 - 16:40

    How are the providers identifying you as a 'new' customer? Does one just keep churning with a new email id?
    Surely they'd look at the name and address?

    • Twix on 24/04/2021 - 17:46

      nbn have assigned a location ID for every single property. ISPs may ask for additional proof eg. a gas bill.

    im with internode too and they asked me about switching to a faster service…i dont get lag on the current one so i said no. i think they were hoping id change for free lol

    • Twix on 24/04/2021 - 18:26

      Changing to a faster service doesn't increase your ping. Was it this offer?

    TPG $59.99 12Mbps Unlimited Downloads plan, but I was given a free upgrade to 25Mbps plan over the phone when I called them for technical support. The free upgrade was for been a long time (10+ years) customer. I got my parents the same free upgrade after one email to TPG.

    edit: This was years before they brought back the 25Mbps plan on their site.

      I don't think it's a "free" upgrade, there was a new law or policy to state all providers need to give their consumers minimum 25mbps

    • Timtamdoritos on 27/04/2021 - 08:01

      Call them back I got one month free as well along with upgrade. Tell them you have better plan from other provider with one month free .

      • jaimex2 on 25/04/2021 - 19:31

        Yeah, though I'm out of it. It's just a grandfathered plan now it seems.

        I'm surprised looking at what's out there that NBN hasn't gotten any cheaper after 4 years.

  • jackhg on 25/04/2021 - 01:49

    $70pm 50/20 with Tangerine. Includes a static IP free which is quite good value if you need that.

    73.95 (double discount for 6 months) on Superloop 100/40 (upgraded to 1000/50 for 6 months)

    It's a bit annoying that we have to keep moving from one to another every 6 months… My discount will end before the 1000/50 upgrade ends, so I might have to consider the options again in the next couple months.

  • morebunnings on 25/04/2021 - 11:49

    On super loop 50/20, have 2x referrals so pay around $43/month.

    Speeds are not great though. Just did a Google speed test and got 34/17. Used to always get 50/on aussiebb

Pretty good price! And my speed test for fttn is the same as I was getting through superloop. I'd recommend them. If you'd like a referral feel free to message me! Would benefit me alot if you did decide to sign up, a friend recommended them to me

    Hi PissLUR,
    Thank you for contacting Superloop.
    Unfortunately, we are unable to extend the promotion for you. However, I can offer to reduce the monthly price to $69.95 monthly instead of paying $78.95 monthly.

    NBN 50/20 Unlimited. is $69.95/month a good price?

    Edit: for my personal references

    Mate is 69/month
    Exetel - $69/mth for first 6 months then $79/mth thereafter
    Tangerine - $54.90 for 6 months, then $69.90 ongoing

    The support from Superloop is insanely good. Competitive prices. Great ping/speeds with the right routers. Fast phone pickup for customer service.

    MyRepublic made my hair go grey. Nearly impossible to cancel. Took a week to activate service with FTTP with an active line. Customer Service is only via chat. Slow to action requests and plan changes.
