    I got this plan last month after it was posted here by Manyo. Obviously need to wait the 3 months before I get the Woollies Giftcard, but so far so good. We have the 50/20 plan that costs $53.95 (for first 6 months), it appears to be faster and more stable than my previous 50/20 plan with Superloop. Small caveat being that I did upgrade my WiFi router around the same time so it may be a confounding factor. Either way our current experience is better than with Superloop or iiNet before them, we are very happy.

    Something not mentioned that I found interesting is that Exetel offer 5x24 hr speed boosts per month that you can activate or bank (upto a max of 30 speed boosts banked). The speed boost bumps you up to the next tier NBN plan for 24 hours. I haven't had to use it yet as the current speed is so good. Would be useful if you do big downloads periodically or need a better connection when you have multiple devices in use. Its a nice free Bonus!

    • cumova on 13/09/2022 - 13:47

      do you have issues with VPNs? in one of the other threads for the discounted exetel deal people said they have issues with VPNs. I need to connect up to one for work and dont want any hassles.

      • noz on 13/09/2022 - 19:36

        No problem at all with work VPN. Same with my brother that uses a different VPN technology with his work.
        In case there's a CGNAT issue interfering with VPN, very easy to opt out via the portal (unlike ABB that makes you contact them to opt out..)

    • cosmos on 13/09/2022 - 23:31

      For anyone thinking to sign up, the plan and speed from Exetel is good, but don’t handover your personal details to Econnex, not worth $100, instead just sign up directly with Exetel.

      I wouldn’t have done it if I had realised that my data was not directly going to Exetel but via Econnex.

  • kehuehue on 13/09/2022 - 13:37

    Customers who have signed up through Econnex Comparison during the last 6 months, will not be eligible for this offer.
    If Eligible, Recipients will receive $100 gift card by email up to 90-120 days after you have successfully activated your service.
    If your broadband service is cancelled within the first 30 days the transaction would be deemed invalid and you will not be eligible to receive the offer.

    Privacy policy blatantly points out that they won't hesitate to sell our sensitive/private info in return for $100. That's a clear neg from me.

    These guys are shady AF.

    Do not give them your real name or ID info.

    Furthermore, what the OP never mentions in the description or in the title that these are 2x $50 promo GCs with a 3-month expiry.

    Some of you will smash out $100 in less than a month if you do most of your shopping at WW.

    On the other hand, a lot of us here spread our shopping across multiple retailers (i.e. whoever has the best points offer).

      DoctorCalculon, Gift cards have 3-month expiry, and it is clearly mentioned in our fine prints, kindly read the T&Cs.

        +8

        Gift cards have 3-month expiry

        Ahem:

        Three-year minimum expiry period
        The law requires that most gift cards or vouchers be sold with a mandatory minimum expiry period of three years. The period begins from the date a gift card is sold to a consumer. Businesses can choose to apply an expiry period longer than three years and no maximum expiry period applies.

        So, what you are providing is either NOT a gift card, or you are breaking the law. Which is it?

        • ESEMCE on 13/09/2022 - 14:27

          They're not being "sold" so this law does not apply.

              @Lord Fart Bucket: Dear Lord Fart Bucket, as per the Australian consumer law, gift cards that are provided as part of a temporary marketing promotion (e.g. customers buy a certain product from Business A, which provides a $50 voucher to use at Business B). are excluded from the minimum expiry requirements and referred as Bonus store gift cards.

                @Manyo: 3 months woolworths gift card is a bit dodgy as on woolworths website it says:

                Woolworths Gift Cards and eGift Cards sold online and in store after 31 March 2018 will have no expiry date, even if they are pre-printed with a shorter expiry period

                https://giftcards.woolworths.com.au/medias/woolworths-gift-c…

                when Econnex buy Woolworths Gift Cards from woolworths either online or in store, woolworths should give Econnex no expiry date gift card.

              • jjj123 on 13/09/2022 - 15:53

                @Manyo: part of a temporary marketing promotion (e.g. customers buy a certain product from Business A, which provides a $50 voucher to use at Business B)

                Does this clause apply to Econnex?

                We buy internet from Business A (Exetel), which provides a $50 voucher to use at Business B (woolworths), then Econnex is business C, where is business C (Econnex) stated on the clause?

    Your data is NOT safe.

    Multiple emails sent, no gift card.
    Instead by mistake they emailed an .xls file containing 766 records of customers including name, email, amount due and live link to their gift card.
    I immediately notified [email protected] and the Australian Cyber Security Centre. Both responded very quickly.
    Woolworths requested I delete the data which I have, per conditions of their email policy in their footer.
    They’ve since issued the gift cards (double the value)

      Hi Sapiens, thank you for taking the requested actions on this. In this case, it was a clerical error from our gift card distributor Woolworths and not a result of Econnex sharing or distributing customers' data without consent.
      Econnex also has taken every precaution to ensure this is not repeated and the gift card distributor has also taken remediation steps for affected customers.

          You've implied that Econnex are playing "fast and loose" yet, this appears to be factually incorrect and you appear to have been fully aware that it was not Econnex's problem at all.
          And if not previously fully aware, then certainly your confidence level must surely have been increased past the point of reasonable deniability.

Now I have a problem - when I called my current service provide - TPG this morning for cancellation, they said I need to provide written notice of cancellation 30 days prior, which means I need to pay for double internet fees for both companies for a month. Is it possible that Exetel can put my account on hold until 14 Oct? Will I lose the discount and the $100 gift card if I do so?

    • ESEMCE on 14/09/2022 - 12:44

      The change has already been made though… you can't delay something that has already occurred.

      For your future reference Exetel apply the same 30 notice for disconnection.
      So when you net jump ISP's remember to do so at least 30 days after you notify Exetel that you will be disconnecting.

      Hey avitherock, yes you will be eligible for the offer, if you choose your activation date after 23rd sept.

          Hey mate, according to our T&Cs, Customers who have signed up with broadband/NBN connection through Econnex Comparison during the last 6 months( from the activation date), will not be eligible for this offer.

          As you have been our loyal customer We can offer you a buffer of 6 days, that won't be an issue, so yes you will be eligible for the offer even though previous activation date was 29th march.
