Not the biggest fan of Telstra but can try Superfast 250/25Mbps $90/month for 6 months and see if you like it enough to continue at $140/month.

Ultrafast 1000/50Mbps $130/month for 6 months. Continues at $180/month.

No lock-in contracts.
Home phone landline calls included.
Modem/router with 4G backup included (Cancelling before 24 months incurs a $9 per month remaining cost - up to $216).
International calls included to 13 countries.
Free 3 months Binge standard (new Binge customers).

FTTP cancellation isn't done automatically. Call your existing ISP to cancel.

          Ive had a telco try to pull that before.
          I got money out of them.

          Because IF we're paying for the REMAINDER of the time; then its 'finishing off a layby'.

          I returned the device; as per acl, either party can 'cancel a sales contract' at any time.
          They had their goods back in perfect condition, yet still had $X per month of mine; doesnt matter if its 'built into the bill'.

          Telco's really do need to be careful about how/why the charge things. They forget we have protected rights also.

          This is thanks to nbnco, they set the tiers that are available. They're worried if they made uploads higher businesses would switch from business plans to residential plans and lose them a tonne of revenue.

          A 250/100 business plan is usually north of $200 a month, so if a residential 250/50 plan popped up for $120 most small businesses would switch over. nbnco charge a higher wholesale price for business networks because it's supposedly more reliable but in reality it would be fine for most businesses.

          Hopefully they fix it eventually, it's a joke at the moment. I'm moving back to 100/40 from 250/25 because 25Mb up isn't enough for two of us working in the house, with files syncing to the cloud and video calls/screen sharing needing to happen without notice.

      Superloop give you a free upgrade to 250/25 for the first 3 months, $75 a month.

      Been on Superloop for a while for 100/40, switched to 250/25 a couple of weeks back when I needed to move 5TB of data and it was properly fast. Would have gone to 1000/50 but they have a data cap of 3TB.

          Last couple of times for me (FTTN) it has been completed in under 20 mins from the time I submitted the request to the new provider.

          My 2 main considerations when switching are :

          1. Try to do it as close to your anniversary/billing date with your current provider as possible so you don't waste paid days. They don't get refunded.

          2. Most of the time the modem setup didn't need to change but I have had one or two which required auth credentials set up in the connection setup. If this is the case the isp will send you the details once you're activated.

          Other than that it couldn't be easier.

      • AlienC on 30/05/2021 - 19:41

        Do you have to use their required modem/router every time?

        Because setting that up every 6 months is my only gripe with doing it that and I am tied to a phone line combo with TPG because of elderly senior citizen house mates that still rely on ancient technology every now and then even though I have put them all on prepaid mobile plans go figure.

        $70 TPG NBN50/20 on FTTN + $10 oz talk add on which I think is unlimited calls for national, mobile and other certain numbers no international calls.

        Happy with $80/month but man that $50/month sounds really nice that extra $5 a week could go to my chocolate milk budget :)

      Sounds nice but when I tested 100mbps my FTTN line could only handle about 70-90 stable realistically and sometimes would only hover around 70 so the extra $10-20 per month for only 20mbps increase was not worth it.

    • scud70 on 30/05/2021 - 20:39

      Stupid question why would you ask to disconnect a service that is ported? Having dealt with 100s of ports in a previous job it was never up to us to cancel the service, once it's ported, its basically done for you by the incumbent…. It's possible that if you had done nothing then things would have sorted themselves out between aab and telstra…

      Please note: I'm in no way on telstra or optus or any other carriers side they all suck equally in terms of customer service… Big 2 being the worst by million miles in that area..

      • marbles on 30/05/2021 - 21:28

        Not a stupid question at all. I had Telstra non-NBN HFC so strictly speaking I guess it wasn't a true port.

        I paid for a TC upgrade from FTTC to FTTP and signed up with ABB. Waited for a week to make sure it was all stable and contacted Telstra to disconnect my HFC service. My dad called me the next day to say his Internet was down 😒

    Telstra is a royal pain in the ass to deal with. When we got "upgraded" from Telstra HFC to NBN HFC, we had to pay an extra $20 a month to keep the same speed. I know that that isnt really telstra's fault, as NBN costs more for them or something, but any communication we received described it as an "upgrade" when we infact got downgraded from 100 down to 50. After switching to superloop, I couldnt be happier. Their support phone lines are australian, and dont take hours to pick up your call. We got a sign up of discount of $15 a month for 6 months, which puts our NBN 100 plan at $75, as opposed to telstra's $110 .For the cherry on top, superloop rewarded us with a free upgrade to 250 down for 6 months. I cannot see any price making me want to go back to telstra.

      The marketing with this annoying 6 month thing is that they know some people will be too lazy to move after the 6 months.
      Similar to discounted gift cards - a certain percentage of people will lose or forget about them and they'll expire.

      Your scenario is identical to mine I argued that we're getting less of a service and having to pay more money so they discounted the $20 for 2 years which was up two months ago when I realised I was paying the extra money that's why I'm currently on 250/25 Telstra plan for 110 month (6 month only than$140) I was only paying 90 for 100 megabytes then they started changing $110 no notice it was happening.

      I will definitely look into superloop thank you.

      Can we still use the Telstra modem on superloop or do we have to get a new modem?

        Hey Tunafish1 did you do this switch to Superloop? Just curious as I wanna do the same Telstra HFC jump to Superloop but just not sure if any new hardware required?

        • Tunafish1 on 21/06/2021 - 20:56

          I haven't made the switch yet I'm looking at Aussie Broadband now when I spoke to them they said I could still use the Telstra modem

    Not worth the trouble of dealing with this company.

      Typical evening speed is half that of Telstra's. Also it's MyRepublic, if you read some reviews you'll see why they're the cheapest, they basically don't have a customer support team.

      Why negative review tho?

        Cos in his opinion, MyRepublic is a better deal.

        I'm still regrowing my hair from dealing with them 4 years ago

    Of course existing customer need to pay extra $20

    Well done Telstra

    I am with Superloop with a similar deal. Not going back to Telstra ever - their support just kill me.

      their support just kill me.

      What support!

      Have jsut moved after spending hours on their app, waiting for sensible responses.

      Love how after given them a piece of my mind, they asked if there was anything else they could help me with, like mobile phone deals etc.

      Really need to update their canned responses

      • viirgon on 30/05/2021 - 21:46

        Telstra customer support just sucks up precious time in your life, even when you try to close your account with them. Just to remind you again not to go back to them. It's so broken, it doesnt take much for competitors to do better.

      Same here, superloop are fantastic and their Tech support is topnotch.
