    Incredible price, but how crap is this?

      Forgive me, but how is this an "incredible", "too good to be true price"?

      Aren't a few providers doing 50/20 for $53.95 for the first 6 months? Easy enough to churn between them all to keep that price going.

          Agree.
          I can’t be (profanity) churning, updating DNS settings and PPPoE details every 6 months, means downtime for shit I use for up to a couple hours usually.

            +8

            @ToyotaCrownHybrid: Couple of hours downtime seems over top. I change every 6 months and takes me like 5mins tops after the churn happens even less if it's IPoE, reboot nbn and router and away you go… PPPoE is a minute longer while i put account details in. So hours seems like a major exaggeration…

            • tonyjzx on 24/09/2022 - 18:58

              @duckdodgers245: i mean that's good on you

              but i hate having to look at a new isp and try to find out if i can get away with my current modem and having to work out if i can change settings and the like…

              it can certainly be hours and it feels like hours when you didnt have to change like at all

              • duckdodgers245 on 24/09/2022 - 19:32

                @tonyjzx: Fair enough. Honestly buy a higher end router that can handle every type connection. Unless you have FTTN then time to order FTTP…

              @duckdodgers245: Eh, I had problems churning from mate to exetel. Churning at the right date is also something to keep in mind as some ISPs cancel end of billing cycle which can overlap and cause double payments. More of a vigilance thing.

              • duckdodgers245 on 24/09/2022 - 19:36

                @ToyotaCrownHybrid: Really? I just churned to Exetel and ordered it over the phone on a specific day which was done at like 1am. Literally woke up to an sms that it's all done, entered in my username and password, reboot the modem and all was working flawlessly.
                I had reservation about Exetel but no issues at all, currently added into my cycle now for ISP's.

                • ToyotaCrownHybrid on 24/09/2022 - 20:31

                  @duckdodgers245: I also just remembered my static IP changes so that (profanity) some things too, not a big issue, just some websites I host and exchange server.

              @duckdodgers245: I was off for over 24 hours going to PPoE. Not all carriers become active when they take over. Some take control and only then work on activating your account thus downtime from the point of them taking control and activating/sending you PPoE details. One then has to change router settings over to PPoE. Was a pain but expected it.

              • duckdodgers245 on 24/09/2022 - 19:40

                @Borg: With who? What type of nbn tech you have?
                I flip from AussieBB - Superloop - internode(currently dropping then and using Exetel now) - tangerine every 6 months, it's all automated (FTTC and now HFC type connection) so if there is a delay it's more likely complications on your connection. Which is an NBN thing and that's nothing you can do about.

                • Borg on 24/09/2022 - 22:04

                  @duckdodgers245: No complications with my tech as I know what I have and what I am doing.

                  It's the carrier and how they handle migrations that can delay this as per what I noted. It also differs if carriers are PPoE vs DHCP. DHCP is easier as it doesnt require being informed of new username and password which in itself can also add potential delays
                  I am HFC and have churned many times. Most or fine, just not all..

              @lgacb08: Many deprecated technologies and processes should be banned. But Uauth should at least have a bit more security behind it. I presume device based cert auth would be much more difficult and tedious to roll out.

            • Borg on 24/09/2022 - 22:07

          I have been with Occom for almost 6 years 100/40 (opennetwork). Never had an issue with them. Heck, probably the only company thaty sent me an email informing me of upcoming downtime planned or unplanned(almost always an openetworks issue). When i setup the connection they were able to sort out the technical issue over the phone(think it was at 8pm). No, did you turn it off and back on again nonsence.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 24/09/2022 - 21:08

      A while ago NBN introduced 100/20 at a slightly lower price than 100/40, presumably because part of their network wasn't capable of 40Mbps upload. Over time prices have been slightly going up to the point that ISPs either had to increase the price of their plans or substitute 100/40 for 100/20 to compensate.

      If you have a valid reason and need to opt-out of CGNAT you can call our customer service on 1300 299 299 or contact us through LiveChat and we can opt-out your service. Opting out of CGNAT will result in your unique public IP address changing unless you have a static IP applied to your service. If you have a static IP address you do not need to opt-out as you will not be part of CGNAT.

              @Jofzar: From the CIS:

              "If you are within a contract, a standard early termination fee ($199) will apply."
              As long as you have served your 1 month contract, then I can't see how there could be an ETF.

        As far as I know, I actually couldn't. The only option was the 26th of September.

        I contacted support and gave them my Customer Reference number. The support person said "we will order the service for your account. You'll either get an email today or tomorrow."

      26/09/2022 - UPDATE

      After being charged and calling several support people at Occom, I was finally told that my account service was ordered and would be activated in the next 24-48 hours. I eventually received my email containing configuration info on the 25th. After configuring my router with the supplied info, it didn't like the username and password. I got on the phone with yet another support person (in Occom's defence, the wait times are non-existent, one to two minutes tops) who I spent 45 minutes with and were only able to solve it when he recreated my account on his end. Ask them to do that if you have the same issue.

      I now have internet, I ordered the 100/20 plan for $69.98 or whatever it was, and they told me my address could only realistically receive 50/20, so changed my plan and price accordingly down to $54.88 a month which is cheaper than what I spent at Superloop for the same 50/20 plan by a whole $15.07 a month. Speed is about the same as Superloop as well so big win all around.

      Absolute corker.

      Good question, I’d like to know.

    I'll use Telstra free air, about to switch the fttp off with Aussie broadband, the prices becoming annoying

      Telstra Air is an unencrypted, open network. The security implications will be just a little more annoying than a few extra dollars a month.

      Then again, the savings might be able to buy you a new identity on the dark web lol
