Some pretty good plans from Exetel which are in line with prices on the Comm Bank target deal of 40% off. Only catch is prices rise after the 6 months honeymoon period, by that time the big red party should win and we should have NZ like internet UL 500/500 for $50 a month ( I know I am dreaming lol)
50/20 $54.95 per month
100/20 $69.95 per month
100/40 $79.95 per month
Also now the $10/mth Unlimited call pack (VOIP and can transfer your no) which includes the following is now just $5 per month after the Slash My Bill discount.
Unlimited local & national calls
Unlimited 1300/13 calls
Unlimited calls to Australian mobiles (in Australia)
Unlimited international calls to: UK, New Zealand, USA, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, France, Canada, China, Singapore, India and Croatia. Other country call rates.
TAKE $5/MTH OFF your broadband bill every month when you order this eligible SLASH MY BILL bundle service.
I just transferred across from Origin/ABB free 2 months deal to this on on Opticomm Fibre/FTTP and was transferred without any hassle. I signed up on the 50/20 unlimited plan for $54.95 and pretty much getting around ~55-58 Mbps downloads and ~18-20 Mbps uploads all throughout the time (have Sam Knows box paired up with eero 6 mesh to monitor performance)
- No $99 activation fee like other providers charge for Opticomm Fibre
- Download speeds over-provisioned by around 15% as probably they want to stay at No 1 of the ACCC Measuring Broadband Australia Report
- Currently Ranked 1 in ACCC Measuring Broadband Australia Report from 17th March 2022 (Optus is at No 2, ABB is distant No 7 I think)
- No lock in contract (there is a 30 day notice period if you want to transfer/churn/cancel)
- Free VoIP (works great for my alarm system) which works with VoIP handset as well as SIP software
- Free Home Secure for 3 months (seems to be a decent network security without needing to install any software and works even with custom DNS)
- Does not seem to throttle torrents etc
- Good content peering with CDN, all streaming services picked up 4k within 10-20 seconds even with a 50/20 multi user household
- Uses Superloop backbone network, so international speeds are pretty great (Exetel is now owned by Superloop)
Feel free to use the OzBargain referral wiki to give a fellow OzBargainer 10% off on their plans
Just transferred from Launtel (Opticomm service).
Sad to leave Launtel, but saving $30 a month was too enticing. Leaving Australia in 6 months so I need every $$! Lol
Speeds seem to be comparable.
