Was doing my monthly nbn pricing comparison and saw Exetel have their 6 month discounts back (with a 50c increase).

  • Unlimited data.
  • 5 Speed Boosts per month.
  • Free static IP if you're not behind CG-NAT - can easily be removed in My Exetel.
  • No lock in contract, but must give 30 days notice - seems to be the norm now :(

You're a new customer after being away for 6 months.

I currently use them and find the service to be excellent. Consistently get 105Mbps on my 100/20 service.

30/11 EDIT: 50/20 plan updated for December price rise.

    250/25 $83.99 for 6 Months

    More Telecom is $83.30 for 12 Months

    • zztrader on 21/07/2023 - 11:49

      I bought a 5G modem and went with the More/CBA 5G 400GB plan, at $49 for 12 months
      They use Telstra 5G towers where available and I get 3 to 4 bars on the 5G modem.
      Speeds are capped at 250MB but speed tests start at over 400MB and decline down to 280MB.
      Was considering Exetel decided on trying this plan as its month to month for 12 months.

      So far, not too bad but every so often speeds only get to 100MB but then I just reboot the 5G modem and its back to normal.
      Much prefer wired but happy with this 5G for the price and dont even use all the 400GB.
      Was going to try Exetel but this imo, NBN is overpriced unless you have a few people contributing towards it.
      Like always, will see how it goes and if need be will jump over but going down to 50MB after 5G might be hard but time will tell.

      For if you're running your own services from home.
      Eg. if you're running a website on a macine at your house, or an email server (don't do this), or gaming server.
      You don't really want your IP address changing in these cases.

    • borgainerz on 21/07/2023 - 10:43

      I'll do the same next month.

      Can you explain the process?
      You write to Superloop chat to tell them you want to cancel at your anniversay day?
      You write to Excetel and tell them you want the service to commence at same anniversary day?

      Can they do that without screwing up and without gap wit no Internet?

      It is the same company, but hey, they can stil screw up

      • DoomTrooper on 21/07/2023 - 10:45

        If it's like the previous time when I switched from More to SL,I had to go into the More account website and submit the cancellation request. Went smoothly so no issues.

        The new service activates and takes over the old one for me as I'm on HFC. So no internet until you change the details in the router.

  • Willyeckerslike on 21/07/2023 - 10:49

    No lock in contract, well apart from the 30 day lock in contract if you want to leave :)
    I've been with them a while now and they are pretty good. Their ZTE modem and extender though I need to reboot every few days or the WiFi starts dropping.

  • memez on 21/07/2023 - 11:10

    the connection with exetel is so unstable on FTTP, my unifi dream router pro detected daily 2mins outages at 7pm 7.30pm and 8.20pm and 12am the connection fully resets. I went through trouble shooting with network team and they just put it down to overloading. Moved to Tangerine no issues or downtime.

    • Brick50 on 21/07/2023 - 16:39

      I found the opposite, tangerine unusable with half the speed of exetel and dropouts. FTTN

      • Aydin on 19/01/2024 - 11:38

        FTTP on tangerine is hopeless. Not sure if it’s the latest mesh routers they’ve supplied or something within their network but you will get constant drop outs, with a powercycle of the router the only way to bring your network back up…

        • alakar on 20/01/2024 - 00:47

          Noob question. Hopefully someone can explain.
          I am currently in process of upgrading to FTTP with tangerine, after that 6 months, can I still come back to Exetel for their lower speed plan (say 25/10) or minimum plan is always 100/20 after the upgrade?
          (reason: I am living by myself and does not need the faster speeds)

  • Spending2Much on 21/07/2023 - 11:12

    Just remember : You may cancel your service at any time by giving Exetel thirty days’ notice (including if you do not wish to continue to use your service during the notice period).
    I didnt know this and end up paying $89 for no services, not Exetel's fault, I didnt read this. So, just making sure everyone is aware of this.

          Cancellation Date means: a. the date thirty (30) days after the Customer notifies Exetel that the Customer wishes to cancel the Service, unless Exetel agrees otherwise; b. the date at least thirty (30) days after Exetel notifies the Customer that Exetel will be cancelling the Service; or c. as otherwise set out in the Agreement.

  • lostincanberra on 21/07/2023 - 21:58

    I 'churned' away when they (Exetel) jacked their prices by a small amount (15+%). With them for 3+ years.

    I did go through with advice (Whirlpool.net.au) to contact their retention people - but that only dragged things on for 2x3mths.

    Gave 30 days notice. On the final day I moved to Superloop. Yep, same ownership structure.

    In 6 months I expect that I'll go through the same thing again - except that I wont worry about their retention 'efforts'. If this deal is still on, I'll go back to Exetel. Small effort for me, waste of time for Superloop/Exetel or anyone else that thinks that keeping customers is less important than getting 'new' customers.

    Adequate service from both Exetel and Superloop. I can't say that I noticed any difference.

    Idiots…

    • lostincanberra on 22/07/2023 - 15:40

      I went Exetel>Superloop. Gave 30 days notice - no need to say where you're going to, but let them know it is loyalty tax related. On the last day (pm) I signed up to Superloop and had a live connection in about 30 minutes. Same sort of discount as offered here. Minor router changes involved. Too easy.

      • ddhar on 22/07/2023 - 16:23

          Someone hereabove suggested that you were considered to be a new Exetel customer after a 7 month absence? Given that it is pretty much the same company, it could well be similar. This was my first 'churn' - so no direct experience. Could I suggest that you call them and enquire whether the deal is open to you? Shouldn't hurt to do that!

          For those interested, I called Exetel to give my 30 day notice. After telling customer retention I wanted to keep my nbn bill below $60/month, she offered to transfer me to Superloop (with the usual 6 month discount). I accepted and the whole process was done over the phone in about 10 minutes. Too easy!

              @ozbmm: Just 50/20.

              Basically the lady did the following in the background:
              1. Obtain her manager's approval to waive the 30 day notice period (Exetel),
              2. Apply for Superloop account (using my details from Exetel, except for credit card which she had no access to),
              3. Once Superloop account is active, she then cancelled the Exetel service. This happened 1-2 hours after the call.

              Throughout the process, there were email trails.

              That said, my Google Nest Wifi router is having trouble connecting (perhaps there was an Exetel setting I had to clear or could be a hiccup with the unit losing internet access during the churn). I will give tech support a call on my WFH day.

  • xT22 on 22/07/2023 - 06:13

    Hi Everyone.
    I am currently with Exetel, they told me that my last invoice for my promo price of $70.65 (100/20) will be issued on the 05 August. The next invoice will be on the 05 Sep for $85.65.
    Does that mean that I will have to let them know before 05 Aug for my cancellation of their service?? I have not churn to another ISP before. I am on FTTP and I am thinking of either Tangerine or Superloop. Leaptel is also on my radar too. Any advice will be appreciated. thanks.

    • happyadventurer on 25/07/2023 - 10:47

      Yes that sounds right as you usually need to let them know at least 30 days before you decide to cancel.
      You can let them know now that you want to cancel at the end of the next billing period.
      Then contract to another ISP and set the day to be connected on the 4 September.
      Even if exetel is still connected, the next port on the NBN box will be assigned your new connection. So there is a small period where you have 2 active connections until Exetel disconnects, to avoid any internet downtime.

      On HFC it took 1 hour and 20 minutes from order to receiving the "your service is active" email with my login details on a weekday afternoon/evening. Superloop were very quick to de-activate their service so there was a bit of waiting and hoping for that service active email to arrive.
      Previously when I switched (again HFC) from ABB to Superloop, it was 7 minutes from order placed to service active, which was really impressive.

Connected to the slowest speeds I'd ever seen (FTTP) even though the speed test ran fine, nothing loaded. Spent the next 2 hours troubleshooting with tech support and they couldnt figure it out or get us connected properly. Dont understand how Exetel is owned by Superloop but couldnt figure this out.

    The next day, fed up, churned to Tangerine due to their high reviews and better 6 month offer. Hoping for better luck, my partner also spent 4 hours calling between them and our original provider Superloop (as it was their supplied modem) trying to reset and access the gateway to our modem. In the end we had to factory reset the NBN. Thankfully we are now connected after approx 26 hours without internet. The lesson for me is, there's value in not trying to fix what's not broken!

      So…. The problem is not resetting the modem…?

    Anyone knows if I switch over to other internet providers, do I need someone to come over to install NBN again? (I am living in an apartment)

      No, it's all done via a configuration update on NBNs equipment. You only need to change authentication settings in your modem/router.

        What's your ping like? compared to previous providers.

        Get 2ms with Superloop and Tangerine.

    Power Home NBN Plan $63.00 cashback according to shopback, I did it thru the app, anyone else get this cashback or tracked? Didn't enter any coupons etc so believe I have complied with the T&C
