Got this in the mailbox. Managed to check out with their 1000/50 plan (other plans available too if not on FTTP and HFC). Also expires 31/03, so can be stacked before then with Dodo's free month offering :)

Note: 250/25 and 1000/50 is only available on FTTP and HFC.

            @superforever: Thanks. Was about to pull the trigger, until I noticed I am paying Superloop $69.95 per month for 50/20. Aussie Broadband is charging $79 per month for the same package.

            I guess I will stay with Superloop for now.

                    @Heybargain: I was actually thinking to move to other ISP :)

                    Superloop isn't as good as ABB. I lost internet connection few times a month. I have a feeling they are doing maintenance work during those time, as it always happen around 11-ish pm.

                    They never send out email notifying scheduled maintenance work to get their clients prepared.

                        I found ABB to be more reliable and really good support.

                        Could be just my setup, but latency is a bit high. Have to wait around for the initial connection (for apps or websites) . No problems with download speeds. Have 25 down BTW.

                  @ausdday: MyRepublic is cheap for a reason. They only have one POP for the entire country, meaning if you aren't in Sydney or surrounding areas the latency is terrible. All the other ISP's have POP's located over all the country.
                  They also don't buy enough CVC so they slow right down during peak periods. I've given them 3 tries and I've been dissapointed each time and left very quickly.

        They selected us to have FTTN to FTTP free trial and just installed the box after the second team came to clear out the telstra conduit blockage.

        Anyway I don't think I will need 1000/50 and with the free trial I must subscribe to 100/40

          That's awesome! But what Pixie13 was asking was about your own router. At gigabit speeds your wireless network, or even ethernet, might be the bottleneck. So for example, if you are on the 1000/50 plan, but your router's wifi limits you to 400Mbit, then you won't be getting anywhere near the max speeds.

          • superforever on 11/02/2022 - 16:11

            @Morien: I am not going to switch to 1000/50 , I asked just because they only said it is ultrafast plan and didn't actually said 1000/50 on their site

          • superforever on 12/02/2022 - 13:22

            @Morien:

            but your router's wifi limits you to 400Mbit, then you won't be getting anywhere near the max speeds.

            But if the Mesh router support gigabit ethernet port, should be OK with ethernet, right?

            • Twix on 12/02/2022 - 13:55

              @superforever: Nah a router with a Gigabit ethernet port alone is not enough to max out Gigabit speeds. At minimum the router CPU should be a dual core or ideally a quad core CPU. At minimum 256MB RAM or ideally 512MB or more RAM.

              For example the Tenda Nova MW6 has a single core 1GHz CPU, 128MB RAM and can reach a maximum of around 700Mbps even with a Gigabit ethernet port. Nest Wi-Fi has a quad core 1.4GHz CPU, 1GB RAM and can reach a maximum of around 920Mbps with a Gigabit ethernet port.

              • superforever on 12/02/2022 - 14:00

                @Twix: ic, I have TP-Link Deco M5 may be it can but I don't need 1000/50 anyway.

                • Twix on 12/02/2022 - 15:38

                  @superforever: TP-Link Deco M5 can do around 850Mbps Ethernet and up to around 460Mbps with Wi-Fi 5.

      If it's not over 900 (930mbit maximum for my router), The worst I've seen is in the 800s when doing a speedtest in the evening. Sources and their uplinks vary, but I've never had an issue with speed in the evening on my 1000/50 FTTP.

      I used to think so. Certainly the speeds are good. Last six months before I swapped late last year I started getting drop-outs every few days which was a real shame. Their support was easy to deal with, lodged a fault etc but it was never resolved. I assumed it was an NBN Co issue, or something with my hardware, but after I swapped to the 'More' commbank deal the drop outs totally stopped.

      Not advocating for More or any other provider, but just wanted to mention my bad experience with ABB.

    For those wanting an alternative and not such the high speeds, i have been with TPG for some time and pretty happy (every provider has a hit and miss experience with some of their customers).
    The thing I like about TPG is they offer a FREE WIFI-6 Modem Router with their 6 month plan 50/20. After 6xmonths you could change to another provider or upgrade to a higher speed plan. Exetel dont offer free modems anymore unfortunately, and i am not sure who else does for the smaller contract timeframes.

          Maintenance notifications from your ISP can be from within the nbn network, the ISPs network or a third party supplier. nbn and ISP maintenance happens all the time and most of the time the ISP won't tell you about it unless a fault occurs. Aussie BB notify you in advance when possible.

      I've used ABB multiple times, and have found their internet good each time. They do not connect you at midnight on the day you ask them to start though, but anywhere from 8am to 11am. SL have connected me at midnight on the day once, and in the morning the second time. Also, they insist you call on the phone to cancel, but I have managed to convince them to call me, or just do it through email.

        Hi, when switching between providers, do you just line up your cancellation date with commencement date of the next provider?

          Yes
          Make note of the cancellation policies of the isp and keep in mind when they will next bill you for the next month. You can set a future date for new connections.

          Yes, that's how I do it. I have 4G if needed though, so I'm not that concerned about a day or two of downtime.

      I churned between Superloop -> ABB -> Superloop. In my area, I found Superloop to be better and cheaper ($69.90/Month for 100/20). YMMV

      Support and all that is all Aussie. Back when I had them, I noticed pulling a website would be 1 second slower and it would also be slower for the browser to start resolving the address. It's like it was warming up the DNS servers (maybe just change the DNS server).

      International streaming IPTV seems to be the same. International links seems to be better with Aussie. I loathed that Aussie would constantly run maintenance at 12am a few times a week. Don't know if they still do.

      ABB is unlimited. Superloop has 3tb cap.

      Superloop I had no probs but tried to call to clarify billing cycle and gave up after 40 minutes on hold and callback feature not detecting my button presses.

      ABB answer the phone after a few rings.

    For those who switched providers, do you experience downtime during switching ? I am looking to change, just worry there's downtime in between.

      I have switched almost every six months between superloop and abb, almost unnoticeable. There maybe a 2-5min downtime.

        What makes you associated with ABB?
