I had to read this email twice for it to fully sink in. Seems ABB are finally rewarding their existing customers.

The promo is limited to customers that have been with ABB for greater than 6 months. Source

Hi Chazzozz,

        Same here man. Best I can get is about 52 Mb on FTTN. Really wish we had standardised infrastructure. It’s a case of the haves and have nots based on luck of the draw of your address and suburb.

        This has become more important than ever now with many people permanently working from home.

    • bargdebarg on 15/07/2021 - 16:59

      Better than FTTN!

      TBH I find the 40Mbps up far more useful than >100Mbps down.

      But the NBN in general does suck with the artificial up speed limits because of the shared nature of HFC.

      In NZ if you are on max speed (lol), what they call it, you get around 1Gbps down and around 400Mbps up

      • lawyerz on 15/07/2021 - 17:44

        there are mixed uses I guess.

        40 Up is super handy for me uploading a tonne of videos and photos onto Google Photos via my Pixel phone.

        100 Down is useful for huge, huge downloads such as Call of Duty updates and new games these days.

        but calling 100/40 the "fastest" you'll get on FTTC (or 50/20 on FTTN?) is pretty sad.

    Got an email 2 weeks ago that I would be upgraded to this. Last week they switched over. The email didn't state, but customer service said it would be free for 6 months.

    I'm on HFC in reservoir, fast.com speedtest gives me 110Mbps per second usually (was on 100/40) now Max I've seen is 950. Evening speed is usually around 700.

    I really wish the NBN would launch higher upload speeds. With more people working from home upload speeds are equally important. May be symetric plans

    • Twix on 15/07/2021 - 16:45
      +1

      An ISP can buy 100/20 from nbn and shape it to whatever they like. In this case shaped to 75/20. There are FTTN connections that can do 55-75Mbps but not 80-100Mbps. So the 75/20 is cheaper at $89/month instead of paying $99/month for 100/20 or $109/month for 100/40.

    Unfortunately I moved away from ABB a few months ago. I have to say, ABB has the best in terms of topline speed AND packet loss (or more accurately the lack of it). After moving away to a provider, I was really disappointed by the packet loss.

    Decided to move to Launtel for the ability to prepay and also switch daily to higher speeds on days I might need it (though I haven't yet needed it since switching). Packet loss is not as low as ABB but generally not noticeable in most cases.

    I may not be with ABB, but if you are really finicky, their delivery of advertised service and their app is the best

  • s50600822 on 15/07/2021 - 16:41

    So they sent me that to, on June 29, while somewhere around June 15, I downgraded from $120 to $70 to test the difference to make some change. And in the email, they obviously say I don't have to do anything.

    And I did not even see this email until 2 of Jul. I rang them and ask if I switch back would it work. Support asked their supervisor and then tell me nope :))

    I switched back to $100 anyway cause their $70 plan is not usable. What a way to treat loyal customers - I was even convincing my friends to switch to them. No more, now :)))

    For anyone on a gigabit plan under any provider, what's the typical actual speed like? I'm with Launtel (FTTP) and the highest I've gotten was 902 Mbps, even after swapping the default calbes on the NBN box to a Cat 7 one. Slowest speed test I got was 700 Mbps.

    • Twix on 15/07/2021 - 17:30
      +1

      That depends where you are testing to or the source of the download. nbn Ultrafast Gigabit is a best effort product. Around 900Mbps is about right and the speed can go as high as 990Mbps. Changing to Cat 7 won't help.

    • emoticon on 15/07/2021 - 17:46

      FTTP Aussie Broadband 1gbps plan - use purely wifi as the NBN box is in the garage.

      Asus AX-86U, using a 2018 11inch Ipad Pro standing right next to the router i get around 650mbps, that's probably the fastest any of my devices have gotten.

      Large-ish two story house, on the second floor maybe 10-15 metres from the router using an Asus AC USB-68 wifi adapter my laptop (Aorus X5 v6) can get around 350mbps. Using a m.2 intel AX200 wifi card my speed is around 100-120mbps but that probably has more to do with the laptops internal antennas.

      In the same room my 2018 Ipad Pro gets around 480-540mbps. Iphone XS in same room gets around 380mbps.

      I probably need a mesh-router + newer devices to take advantage of the gigabit speed but its still better than the 100mbps plan i was previously on.

      • Twix on 16/07/2021 - 13:20

        Upgrading to newer devices can help. An RT-AX86U can deliver more than Gigabit over 5Ghz Wi-Fi with a 2x2 client and you can run a second RT-AX86U as a mesh.

    • macfudd on 15/07/2021 - 20:45

      600 Mbps right now which is probably peak traffic time. 800ish Mbps is about the highest I've seen. Measuring on wired, not wireless device. Currently on HFC.

  • evoxxx on 15/07/2021 - 19:00

    Being on FTTP I took up the 1gbit plan ($150/m) from 100mbit with Aussie as made available last year..

    Downloading files using a multipart downloader (eg. jdownloader) was a dream.

    Streaming services like Netflix made no noticeable difference (4K and 1080p simultaneously)

    the speed can be nice for things like downloading/updating from game services (depending on your VPN service, if used, you may not be likely to notice any difference) as long as you’re connected to the right servers (I had to manually select servers in steam).

    I switched to the lower 250mbit plan to save a couple $ (actually to save $50/m with the Black Friday sale that they ended up not honouring to me so only saved $20/m)

    Have since switched back to superloop for 250mbit@$75/m after moving houses.. but thanks abb for the 2k shares @$1ea now hovering towards $3

    Where I think most people will notice plan upgrade improvements is depending on how many (moderate to heavy) simultaneous users on the connection or if your uploading matters (eg plex server, remote file server, large cloud file storage/backups)

      Did you have to change your router settings to something called PPPOE/VLAN?

      • Twix on 16/07/2021 - 12:56

        iinet use the PPPoE protocol and VLAN 802.1Q for their nbn connections. Purchase a new router (not a modem) that supports both to establish a connection to iinet.

    I had an offer a few months ago to try out 100/40 and found no increase in speed from 50/20 sadly, unfortunately cost me an extra $40 to try since they switched me 2 days before the end of the month.

    • netsurfer on 17/07/2021 - 17:14

      Did you test it using wired or wireless connection?

      • reptilescorpio on 17/07/2021 - 17:46

        Wired connection, possibly more to do with my NBN connection than anything else but they had told me after testing that I would get closer to 100.

    I went from Aussie Broadband because every time I called I spoke to some useless person who knew nothing about internet and when I found a better deal they basically told me to leave, said we can't do anything because we are bound by NBN Pricing. I went with Mate Internet on their 250/20 plan for $89 for first 6 months, been with them 4 months now and no different to service of Aussie BB. Once my 6 months is nearly up I will switch again. It's very simple to switch when it's only the flick of a button.

    • bdo207 on 16/07/2021 - 12:44

      Their customer service is above and beyond any other provider we've used. And they have guarantees in place that prevent/minimise congestion and improve performance on their network. For me those things alone are worth the extra $10 or so a month I pay (compared to other providers), and they are of benefit to any internet user.

      • CocaKoala on 16/07/2021 - 13:39

        I've been using NBN with various providers for the past 3 years and I've needed to call customer service maybe be twice in these 3 years, and they resolved whatever issue I had both times. Most definitely not worth $120 every year.

        The NBN has be pretty much the same with every provider I've tried and there's been no complaints or noticeable congestions to speak of.

        I see no benefit at all paying a provider more, no matter who it is.

          I respectfully disagree. My NBN was a nightmare initially. I was with Superloop and having to wait 1-2hrs every time to get through to speak to someone was painful. Given you need your provider to initiate NBN contact/support, if your connection has issues, that's when the extra $10/month with ABB comes in handy. Also, my neighbour on Optus NBN complains of congestion all the time so, I challenge the statement that all NBN providers are the same.

          • CocaKoala on 16/07/2021 - 15:15

            @sinners007:

            Given you need your provider to initiate NBN contact/support, if your connection has issues

            I've had one connection issue in 3 years, and one other time I needed support was when superloop took an extra day to port me in, and I got through to someone on the phone in like 10 minutes. Of course your personal experience may be different, and you should feel free to keep paying the additional $120 every year if you see value in it.

        • bdo207 on 16/07/2021 - 15:28

          The fact you've had so few issues seems to me like you're benefiting from ABB! Haha. And connections can absolutely differ between providers, the different speeds people experience (and that the providers quote against the same plan) is perfect evidence of this. But obviously depends on the actual providers.

          Guess it's similar to insurance though - if you never need to use them you'll never know how good or bad they are. But as soon as you have an issue, that's when you realise there IS a difference.

            But like I said, you should feel free to pay the additional dough if you personally think it's worth it to you.

              @CocaKoala: The provider manages part of the network. Therefore your experience, and the issues you encounter, can differ by provider based on how they configure/manage/maintain their part of the network and your connection. You said you've only had "one connection issue in 3 years", to me that sounds like a sign your provider(s) manage their network well.

                @bdo207: Sure, but how am I benefiting from ABB? Please refer to the quote in my previous message.

                  @CocaKoala: Apologies, I interpreted your original comment as meaning you had been with ABB (as you provided an opinion of what they offer I assumed you'd at least tried it), and given nowhere else had you clairified otherwise, my following comments were based on this interpretation. But I now assume you have not? So I can understand why you'd be confused haha. In which case, replace "ABB" in my previous comment with "the provider(s) you've had plans with". But also makes me wonder how you can claim they "offer very little" when you haven't actually experienced their product or service… As they say: "Dont' knock it til you try it" ;)

                  • CocaKoala on 16/07/2021 - 16:45

                    @bdo207: No, your interpretation was correct. I have been with ABB on one instance, and found them comparable to the rest of the lot (superloop, internode, spintel, tangerine). Literally no difference at all - the internet gets connected, and everything works.

                    It's likely that I'm just lucky where I am, but based on my experience so far with NBN ABB does not provide any value whatsoever for the additional money they ask. But regardless, there's no answer to the question - how have I "benefited" from ABB any more than I've benefited from another provider?

                    • bdo207 on 16/07/2021 - 17:50

                      @CocaKoala: I have actually answered it: You've had minimal issues so I was saying that could be a result of how ABB "configure/manage/maintain their part of the network and your connection". With other providers you may have encountered more issues as a result of their network and products.

                      To play it back for you: You said they offer very little to justify charging more, but then proceeded to confirm you've had minimal issues. My point was that those minimal issues may in fact be you already benefiting from ABB (and their network management), even though you may not realise it. (Note: I never said you might be benefitting more from them than another).

                      Less issues = benefit.

                        @bdo207: I also like wearing pyjamas at home, but that hasn't contributed to less issues with the home NBN connection.

                        Correlation does not mean causation. I've not benefited from ABB in any way more than I've benefited from another provider.

                        • bdo207 on 19/07/2021 - 11:08

                          @CocaKoala: Haha wow, your previous comments had already demonstrated your lack of knowledge regarding broadband networks but this one really takes the cake! Wearing pyjamas and experiencing internet issues are very different things haha…Correlation does not always mean causation, but it can.

                          There is actually data to substantiate my comments: search ACCC Broadband Performance Report and you will see that some providers provide a better connection that others. They review them across a range of metrics, and one of these is specifically about outages.

                          Can you state unequivocably that you have NOT experienced less issues and therefore a better service as a result of ABB's network, or any of the other providers you've used, compared to others? Of course not, because you haven't tried all the others providers.

                          Just enjoy your good internet and stop trying to pick unnecessary arguments :)

                            Ad hominem is the least intelligent form of "arguing". I might as well add that you're yet to prove to me how I've benefited from ABB more than I've benefited from another provider. It's not like I had less issues with ABB and more with others. Every single provider I've used have been the same in my experience, except ABB wants more money.

                            Correlation does not always mean causation, but it can.

                            You just have to prove that's the case here because that's what you claimed.

                            Can you state unequivocably that you have NOT experienced less issues and therefore a better service as a result of ABB's network, or any of the other providers you've used, compared to others?

                            Yeah? You're the one who claimed I've benefited from ABB and are unable to substantiate that ridiculous claim, but are somehow concluding that I've something to prove to you?! Hahaha. Also, "unequivocably" is not a word.

                            Once again, I only need to compare ABB with the providers I've used to claim that they're no different except being pricey. Sure, they may have some measures to improve performance or whatever but the rest of the providers haven't been noticeably bad in any way in my experience.

                            Just enjoy your good internet and stop trying to pick unnecessary arguments :)

                            There's no need for you to tell me what to do. :) Not to mention you were the one who responded with a ridiculous statement and started an argument. Perhaps follow your own advice and enjoy your unnecessarily expensive internet connection instead of making laughable claims.

                            • bdo207 on 20/07/2021 - 09:50

                              @CocaKoala: If anything is ridiculous and laughable it's your persistence on this post (to the point where you're picking on autocorrect errors)… I've substantiated my claim, explained how offerings from providers can differ, and even directed you to data that backs this up. The Broadband Performance Report clearly shows some providers perform better than others and ABB happens to consistently rank in the top few across most, if not all, metrics. If you don't want to read or accept that that's fine.

                              Suggest you also read back over what I've said - at no point have I: a) Unequivocally stated that you have benefited from ABB (only that it seems to me like you could have based on the info you provided, and that it would make sense based on the available data and their network), b) Said that you've benefited from ABB more other providers you've been with, or c) That ABB has the best offer. My point is that ABB has a better network, product and service than (some/many) other providers, and the data (as well as much anecdotal feedback) backs this up. This in turn can reduce number of issues and outages (again, data backs this up), which I consider a benefit in relation to a broadband service, or any utility-type service really.

                              Just let it go - and go enjoy your internet, hopefully you can find better uses for it than stubbornly arguing with strangers and against quantifiable data :) (And thanks, however as I've explained via my various points and data shared, my connection isn't "unnecessarily" expensive, it's based on a superior product/service compared to others so the cost is justifiable in my opinion, and many others')

                                @bdo207: I have not contested the data in any broadband performance reports. Neither have I argued against ABB purportedly having a better network or whatever. You explicitly stated:

                                The fact you've had so few issues seems to me like you're benefiting from ABB!

                                This is still sticking out as completely meaningless regardless of how many broadband reports you produce because I've had "so few issues" with several providers, not just ABB. How have I benefitted from ABB, if they've been the same as the rest of the lot I've tried?!

                                Just let it go

                                For the second time, don't tell me what to do. I'm going to stick to the point and ask for the tenth time to prove your point instead by explaining to me how I benefitted from ABB alone, as opposed to all the other providers I've tried and this discussion will be over.

                                arguing with strangers and against quantifiable data

                                You've provided precisely zero data so far that proves I have somehow "benefitted" from ABB as opposed to other ISPs. Besides, that's precisely what you are doing as well, but you're doing worse - arguing with a stranger about something that you cannot substantiate.

                                the cost is justifiable in my opinion

                                An opinion that you tried to dress up as a fact by telling me that I've benefitted from ABB. How have I benefitted from ABB is what I'd like to know; there must be a simple one line answer for this, which you have failed to produce so far and are instead typing out paragraphs of text and telling me to "let it go".

    Customer for 2 years (100/40, manually changed back to 100/40 after the forced downgrade to 100/20) and no email. My parents are on the same plan at their place and got the offer. I'm guessing there must be a data usage component to the eligibility, because I'm a heavy user and my parents use barely anything.

    • phluffed on 16/07/2021 - 20:15

      Nope. I'm a heavy user and I got an offer.
      I was a 100/40 customer for a year till the forced downgrade to 100/20. Have been on that for 6 months now, and was about to churn when this timely email came through offering the 100/40 again.

      FTTC customer.

    50/20 missing out again. Might be time to move to Superloop.

  • scottb721 on 16/07/2021 - 16:45

    Those waiting for emails, I changed my FTTN from 75/20 500gb to 100/40 unlimited for only $4 a month extra for six months.
    No email needed.

  • andyhwl on 16/07/2021 - 19:17

    This is great. I am on the free upgrade from 100/20 to 250/25 with FTTN.
    Any worth trying to get 1000/50?
