nbn Plans from $44.90 Per Month @ Tangerine

300

Been with tangerine a few months now and have to say it's been really good as far as the connection and speed goes.

Probably the best deal at the moment and they have a 14 day trial too. So some piece of mind there.

It's great cause you can also set the churn / install date via signup.

25mb/s $44.90 per month (first 6 months)
50mb/s $54.90 per month (first 6 months)
100mb/s $74.90 per month (first 6 months)
250mb/s $94.90 per month (first 6 months)

Additional $25 off for your first month via referral.

Referral Links

Referral: random (198)

Both referrer and referee receive $25 for signing up to NBN offer.

  • G'day, do you know if Tangerine have a POP in Perth at all, or is it routed through to the eastern states?

    Cheers

      They are a full Vocus reseller like Mate Communicate, I don't have first hand experience but I am 90%+ sure I have read on Whingepool that they do have a Perth PoP. I was with Mate for over a year and the service was brilliant, access to the Vocus Singapore cable direct out of Perth and low latency throughout Australia. I had no issues with them, I only moved on because their prices started creeping up and NBN bought in these 'new customer' deals with discounts.

      The difference with Tangerine is they might skimp out a bit more on CVC compared to Mate and others, I guess it's worth the 14 day free trial to find out if it's crap in your area or not.

        Thanks mate, that's some good info to think about.

  • +3

    I switched to Tangerine from Aussie solely because it was cheaper. Same advertised speed, but I now get buffering when watching kayo and Netflix. Never had that issue with Mate or Aussie. No app available and I haven't been notified of outages when they occur. Any other good deals from quality suppliers to get me out?

    • Remember, they dont refund for pro rata. I lost more than half month when i cancelled the service. Same tier speed but Aussie is better 220 vs 270

      • I overlooked this as well last time i switched, rendering the 10$ saving for six months useless ha.
        Keeping an eye on the direct debit date now, and will move 1-3 days before it's scheduled.

        Just to confirm does one have to wait 12 months to return to Tangerine for the intro prices?
        the referrals make it worthwhile as well but may have to go somewhere else first for 6 months.

      • Is that common? I was with Kogan before and I'm pretty sure they did refund pro rata.

        Anyone know which ISPs refund and which don't?

    • I’ve been watching Stan & Binge with no buffering problems

    • I still get internode outages 😂

  • They're part owned by cba who intend to offer a cheaper service of you have both. Waiting to see what this will look like.

    I actually just had my service activated 2 nights ago.It worked out perfectly. Was off my contract with Exetel who I was with for 3 years. No problems, it was just me doing my Ozbargainer duties to find the best deal. And churning to Tangerine has been awesome so far for those who are interested. Mainly cause of this $25 referral, and the introductory 6 month plans without having to bundle to get savings (e.g AGL, Mate). I gave Exetel the 30 days Notice needed and signed up with Tangerine online choosing my selected date being 31/7. On the 30th I noticed my net went out at 9pm. Thought it is all happening, got an email saying my order is in the works and I'll get an email and sms once completed. They give you your Username and pwd as well, so I entered it into my nbn router in advance. Then 10pm got a sms like they said saying its connected, and yep Internet was back on. So easy to churn, and downtime is minimal. Speeds have been awesome so far, did a speedtest 23mb download, and about 4mb upload. Both companies have been excellent, so would definitely recommend if you're after the sweetest deal in nbn depending on your speed needs. I'd say use the Referral link so all ozbargainers have a chance at sending you their referral code (I like that system)

    • Are you able to use the zte modem from exetel when you switched to tangerine?

      • +1

        Yep I was
        What you have to do is put a pin into the FACTORY RESET hole for 5 secs
        This will then let you login as "ädmin" and default pwd is "admin". The you can enter in your new Tangerine Username and Pwd. It takes 3mins literally for the whole exercise :)

      • +1

        ZTE logging in details as "User" won't give you the admin access to change the prefilled Exetel "username and password" that they already enter in to make the Modem/router plug and play. So I figured out I had to become admin to make it work. Hit me up if you need anything

    • You had to enter something into your nbn router? When I switched from Belong to Origin and I didnt have to do anything, it was up in 30 mins. I'm planning to churn from Origin to Tangerine but i'm concerned about downtime and if I had to do something with the router I wouldn't know how to haha

        1. Easy, ensure ur logging into your router as "Administrator". That let's you configure the router without limitations
        2. Once logged in use the Tangerine email, and just copy and paste the login details and settings they give you

        If you have any trouble it would be related to step 1. Downtime is 10mins if all done correctly. 1hr if you end up having to seek help from the support team I estimate

        • Assuming will then have to clear those details when moving away from Tangerine? I also had to do this for the first time when switched to Tangerine few months ago, never had to do that with Superloop before. 6 months honeymoon period about to end so will be looking to churn.

  • So is the cashback just on your first month or are the cashback stores now like mortgage brokers getting a cut every month?

    • Just on 1st month I'm pretty sure

  • Is Tangerine 25mbps good enough for streaming Netflix and the odd PS/ Xbox/ Steam multiplayer?

    • Might struggle. Get the 25 and it's easy to upgrade if not enough.

  • Just used Snip with Amex.

    Additional $30 off my next few bills

    Plus $20 of referrals on snip between the wife and I

    😂

    Also thanks Paris for also giving me $10 Snip

  • I've been with Tangerine for over a year now. No issues and the only outages I've had have been NBN maintenance ones. Still seems to be one of the cheapest ones, and is the cheapest when I take into account the multiple referral bonuses I've gotten. And you automatically get a static ip address, instead of it constantly changing.

    • How are the referrals tracked? Is there a Web page?

      • +1

        I can't find anywhere that tracks them. I know I've given my code out more times than I've recieved the dollars off but I think that's from people deciding to cancel the application. I usually only know someone has stuck with Tangerine long enough for me to get the credit when I get the next monthly invoice.
        But I track all my expenses. I joined up in January last year and have had a few months with double discounts (only paid $9.90 for those months) and a few other months of paying $44.90. My average per month nbn cost since joining with Tangerine is around $50.

  • Is it ok to use a Telstra NBN modem with these guys?

    • Telstra NBN modem works mostly. Working with Telstra, Tangerine, Superloop and ABB.

  • What is the price increase after 6 months?

  • Submitted form at 8:30pm last night. Previous RSP's internet went out at 11am, Tangerine connected at 1pm so down time was 2 hours. Wasn't a big deal because we had a mobile hotspot set up but glad everything is done now. Getting 53/18.5. Thanks OP for referral code.

  • Is it 25/5 or 25/10?

  • +1

    Where do u I enter referral code in the sign up process? I can only see agent’s code.

    • Same here. I think Tangerine has changed it so for URLs coming from cashback sites so users cannot insert a referral code anymore.

      • You can put in the referral code on the second page (a page after you choose your plan, modem etc). I used cash rewards as well.

        • Can confirm Cashrewards worked on top of $25 referral code.
          Thanks Jinjin

  • This is the 2nd time I have signed up with them….the first time they got me up and running was in 6-8hours…this time its almost 22 hours now and no activation email yet..is it normal to take this long…? with Superloop it only took like within 5 mins

    • How Long did it eventually take?

      • I had a similar issue.

        You need to call them and tell them… Then they push it through manually within an hour

  • Anyone had good (or bad) experience with their consistency of upload speeds?

    • I’ve been using it for a month now. Their speed is ok for watching YouTube or uploading documents. Just bad customer service lol

  • I was interested at this mainly due to the price of the 50/20 connection. FTTN. Moving over from MyRepublic. Chat rep said downtime of 24-48 hours. Cannot risk it. Need the connection for work and remote learning. Is this pretty standard for FTTN? Haven't changed ISP for years now.

    • Mine was done in about 1 hr.

      • How's your experience so far?

        FTTN? Do they transfer services on weekends? Who's your previous ISP? Did you contact the previous ISP to cancel the service before or after you moved over to Tangerine?

        Thanks.

        • I ordered during morning and my connection was setup by around 3 pm. It was Friday. I scheduled cancellation of my other service from Saturday.

        • Just get them to start your service on your specific time. So I would suggest like 4pm on a Friday, that way they have until Monday to get it connected.

          I told internode that I was cancelling at the same time as I was getting connected with Tangerine.

          I have gone from Exetel > Aussie BB > Iinet > internode > Tangerine.

          It's all been pretty much the same. I am FTTN

          But an overlap could help like the person above.

        • FTTN can only have one connection at a time. They will chun your service to them and disconnect your old service. For most companies that is the end of it. But saying that some ISP require people to provide 30 days notice under their terms and conditions.

          Its best to move service a days or two before the old one is due to cancel. If the previous service provide cancel the service it can take a couple of days before the new provider can connect your service again. This happened to me when the ISP had an issue and delay it by a day and the old ISP disconnect my service. It should only take 24 hours but the system allows 3 up to 3 days.

  • Just switched from Superloop to Tangerine

    Ping to Singapore is atrocious!
    https://www.speedtest.net/result/12077591276

    And this was from Superloop
    https://www.speedtest.net/result/12078226512

    Edit: This is FTTP connection. 25Mbps speed plan on both. (Superloop is actually 25/10)

    • +1

      AussieBB is currently 246ms to that server. Was at my parentals to test.

      Something wrong with Internet today?

      Peering issue?

      115ms on Tangerine to that server for me.

      Also not comparing apples with apples here either using an international server and a local one? 🤦

        I had to laugh too lol.

      • LOL sorry posted the wrong link to superloop speedtest
        this is the singapore speedtest https://www.speedtest.net/result/12077570992 <— Superloop

        • Just churned from Belong to Tangerine. Ping to the Singtel server is in the 220s. This is over an extended wifi network though. But tbh, the pings don't get affected as much as the dl/ul speeds over an extended wifi.

  • Just switched over from Superloop on HFC. Chose set up date as tomorrow but connection got cut off earlier and received an e-mail on set up. Took them an hour to set it up, but still had to ring technical support as I still wasn't connected despite confirmation of service came through. Turned out I had to change some settings in the router (changed WAN type from Dynamic to PPP over Ethernet) and enter the username and password given via e-mail.

    Just did a ping test and I think it looks OK? I'm not very IT savvy but looks like getting close to 25/5 speed.

  • They have 100/20 or 100/40 for HFC?

  • second time customer to Tangerine.

    used them for six months, then went to exetel for 2 months, aqua mobile for a few days, then back to tangerine.

    Tangerine is good. Even at the 25/5 plan it's plenty fast for casual browsing, netflix, and a household of 4 using video chat.

    i believe most ISPs somehow fake their speedtest.net scores. Real world use and browsing is completely different.

    I had 50/20 plans with both exetel and aqua mobile, but they were laggy compared with my slower 25/5 plan with tangerine.

    unless you are constantly downloading files, for regular browsing i found tangerine to feel 'faster' even though i opted for the plan one step slower.

    • Did you get the promotion pricing a second time?

      The CIS does say only for new customers only and properties previously connected with Tangerine are not eligible for promotional pricing.

      Just wondering if its actually enforced.

      • Not sure yet. Hasn't been a month, plus got the Mrs to sign up

  • I'm thinking to switch from TPG, does anyone know if the modem will work with Tangerine?
    Thanks

    • No, the TPG modem will not work. Some settings on TPG modem cant be changed, required by Tangarine, even if you managed to get the root access. So, not worth the time.
      So, it is better to grab a unlocked modem as per your connection type.

  • New to NBN, will the Mi Router AX1800 work with these guys?

    • Any router should work depending if your fttn or fttp you will need a modem/router if VDSL is required.

  • Signed up the other day, two days to connect and twice the speed on 50/20 can't complain so far.

    Also first bill was $30 with the $25 refferal

  • I have an optus modem that has worked with Belong, ABB & Origin. Does anyone know if it will work with Tangerine?

    • I've used the Optus modem for ABB, Belong and now Tangerine in bridged mode using the admin login

      • I've never had to change anything since it was set up the very first time with optus, each new provider just did their magic in the backend. Was it the same with Tangerine for you? I wouldn't know anything about bridged mode or github :(

        • I've never had to change anything since it was set up the very first time with optus

          Then how did you enter the username and password?

          • @CVonC: I never had to, only the very first time with optus. I guess cuz I’m not changing the wifi name and password?

            • @macr0hard: Yeah the wifi details don't change. But we're talking about the login to the ISP.

              • @CVonC: I really have no idea :(, maybe I don’t need to login to the ISP?

  • ok signed up around past midnight today and it's been over 10hrs, still hasn't switched over yet :(. The switch from Belong to Origin happened within the hour, and it was a Sunday. Customer support doesn't seem that great either on chat or phone with long waiting time

  • Submitted referral request through "Referral system" , keeping fingers crossed hoping some one will respond.

    • Do more than 1

      • Referral system usually keeps it to the same referer if you've already clicked on it. Not sure what the timeout is until a new random one is generated

        • Thanks for the suggestions, I've already received few. I've used the first one I've received which worked. Really impressed with this ozbargain community who are willing to share and help.
