just be aware that Origin use CG-NAT and there is no way to opt out of this.
Origin use CG-NAT
😲
What is the downside of this for general usage?
Problems with devices, apps, or services that rely on direct Internet connection.
It also increases latency.
When I was on CG-NAT I hit more Cloudflare human checks and Captchas, and as my other comment - Switch online didn't work
@thecloudking: I'm with ABB and was similarly running into a ton of Cloudflare CAPTCHA pages prior to opting out of CG-NAT, which they at least let you do, although you have to call them up and give them a reason.
Big one is gaming.
Yep, and unless Nintendo have changed things, you can't play Switch online on CGNAT.
You can, and I did.
It just requires $5 per month for a static IP.
for Origin?
I signed up and there was no way for me to get a static IP address, I would have happily paid $5 a month.
I ended up leaving within a week of signing up.
Yes I went through the same hoops as you, after persisting I was told this and it works like a charm.
@Commodore64: ok interesting, was this recently? When i signed up around a year ago, tech support said there was no way around it. I'll consider then when i next churn if in fact I can opt out of CG-NAT
@nhutty: I signed up in November last year. Think about it, what's the point of CG-NAT if you BUY a static (dedicated) IP
which provider would you recommend?
You can opt out of CG-NAT. I did so when they first released their offerings. I used the online portal. Origin is a ABB whitebox offering.
Isn't this white labelled Aussie broadband. I would think if you call their customer service they would let you opt out of CGNAT
Paramount plus is basically just ten play app with a few old movies added to it.
Of course, there is also another tiny minor insignificant detail- Paramount does not have any ads.
Paramount does not have any ads.
That's the only part I actually like.
I'd be absolutely sleepless if I knew you were paying for something you didn't like jv
It has a lot more than what is on Ten.
I never used to like it, but I've recently signed up and am quite happy with it for now, and the 12-month plan makes it affordable & justifiable for me :)
Its the only way to watch A-League
Still waiting on my EDR points from the last deal… would not recommend
Same here. Called them a couple of times and they said it was being handled by a different team that gives no ETA.
When asked whether I will lose the EDR if I switch now, the consultant said he had no idea…
Will give them another call later today to request a price match. Otherwise, I will switch to Superloop or More depends on which one has the better promo price.
I already switched and will be lodging a complaint with the TIO if I don't have the points by the end of this month.
Just an update: they can only apply $10 off for 6 months for my account. And they say it does not matter whether I switch away and back, as long as it is the same address, the promo will not apply.
Not recommend. Speed is shit and still waiting for EDR points from both origin energy and nbn from previous deals. Spoke to 3 different staffs and they all told me they will check for me.
I’m with Origin Broadband and my speed hasn’t been throttled or experiencing any reduced speed
They do use Aussie Broadband and if you’re experiencing a shit speed, it may be dependent on your area
Seems expensive.
$69.30 with More Telecom.
