        I'm also a big fan of YYYY-MM-DD formatting. Technically ISO8601 has hyphens not forward or backward slashes. Hyphens are better as they are alloweable characters in filenames, where as '/' and '\' are reserved characters for file paths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
        For those that are curious, there are a lot of different date formats out there! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
        I'm in favour of having an "International 'International Date format' adoption day", set on say 2030-07-13 or something like that, which gives the whole world some time to ease the standard into the education system so it doesn't come as a shock to anyone.

        This clearly will not be a popular opinion but for me the best format is Day, Month, Year. For my work at least the most important bit of information is always the Day, followed by the Month and followed by year.

        I totally get why Year, Month, Day would be heaps better from a sorting and data practice point of view, but just for me Year is the least useful bit of information.

    The Light Speed tier on Superloop is the best deal going in broadband in Australia atm imho… $99 for 6 months then $109 for 1000/50 and a free Eeero+ router.

    • HappyPants on 29/09/2023 - 14:50
      +1

      You just have to stay connected for 18 months? Or was it 2 years? For the "free" router? For regular churners, getting free months here and there, that's a long time. I agree tho, seems like a very good deal for the speed.

      • Sidog on 29/09/2023 - 14:54

        Think it’s 18 months… I was with TPG for about 13 years before switching so I reckon I’m good for it ;)

        • Equilibrium90 on 30/09/2023 - 13:22

          I was of the understanding that it is a month to month plan wihtout the free router which is what i did early this morning. If you add the "free" router it said you must stay for 18 months. The change over from 500/40 Exetel FTTP $99 to Superloop 1000/50 FTTP $99 took about 6 minutes which was awesome. Both unlimited data.

      tried to check this offer, was thinking of an upgrade and just realised that superloop 100/40 is usually $89/month, and I have been with them for ages when it was $85/month and then they increased their price to $94.95, i thought it's their standard price. It seems like they are penalising loyal customer by charging me more than what they advertised on their website.

      • Sidog on 29/09/2023 - 15:47
        +3

        That was always a big problem when ISPs had data caps… you'd sign up for 20GB download and then 3 years later you're paying the same money as somebody with 200GB download… you always had to call up to get them to upgrade you data allowance.

        • kelvinsmj on 29/09/2023 - 15:53
          +1

          it was on $85 with unlimited. Apparently they increased the price in April (causing all existing customers on that plan to pay $95) then at some point they decreased it again back to $89.

        I'd take 1000/50 on Superloop for $109 over 100/20 pm Aussie BB for $99 a month, any day of the week.

          AussieBB has better local support and a better network, as such it costs more.

          So basically when you connect to servers that are not based in Australia. You will get higher latency or ping than others on certain providers. For example I used to be with Aussie Broadband and I would get 180ish ping when connected to servers in Los Angeles since thats where the servers for the game that I'm playing. Now that I'm with Superloop, I get 240ish ping. So if you game internationally this will be a worry. That is my understanding of it, anyone with more experience can elaborate more.

            +1

            @MrChumps: High ping = more lag

            Although all customer get access to the network via NBN, every ISP has different network set up in the backend including peering to international ISP.
            An analogy would be NBN is like a water pipe, and ISP provide you with different quality of water through the pipe

            @MrChumps: Thanks, I don't game really at all these days, and when I did the latency between my brain and mouse was always the bottleneck anyway. Am I going to notice anything much different when I'm downloading linux distros with bittorent or usen*t?

          • bindok on 24/10/2023 - 11:59

            @MrChumps: I have this exact same experience with Superloop. I play Modern Warfare and Rocket League and I feel connection latency has gotten worse since I moved to Superloop from ABB. Initially I couldn't put my finger on it but realised quickly it was the latency. If multiplayer gaming is important to you, in my personal experience ABB was the best.

    • SimAus007 on 29/09/2023 - 17:25

      Eeero router or any ISP supplied router, a hard pass for me.
      But yes, for a BYO plan, superloop for the 1Gbps is unbeatable :)

  • AustriaBargain on 29/09/2023 - 14:57

    Gigabit is totally worth it, if you can get it. Shit downloads from Microsoft/Apple/Sony servers at full speed, it is pretty amazing after so many years of shitty DSL. And if you've got a private tracker most things will download full speed too.

    • Wally on 29/09/2023 - 15:14

      What speed do you get from Microsoft/Apple/Sony servers with yout Gigabit connection?

      • AustriaBargain on 29/09/2023 - 15:21

        Gigabit speeds. so like 125 MBps. I don't live there anymore, have Coalition NBN now that maxes out a bit above 50 and get about 6MBps. I'll never forgive the Coalition for this.

          Try telstra 5g if available in your area. $1 for first month then $85 a month. Includes modem (to be returned if you cancel within 2 years).

            +4

            @Ridiculous Panda: 5G is crap for latency compared with fibre and Telstra home 5G is rubbish if you download more than 1GB per month. Kinda defeats to point of fast speeds.

              @SimAus007: Who said anything about fibre? I was replying to someone who was complaining about their FTTN with a speed of 50mbps.
              Also, I know you meant TB not GB but clarifying for others who might be confused.
              1024 gb a month is plenty of data even for heavy users.

              • SimAus007 on 30/09/2023 - 08:38

                @Ridiculous Panda: Yep, thanks for picking up on that, my bad (*1 TB)
                Many can also upgrade to fibre for free now, it's worth looking at that for speeds 100Mbps and higher.
                My household manages to chew through about 1.5TB per month, mostly with gaming and streaming alone. Everyones usage is different of course.

          Too many outages. About one a month and they last 3-4 hours. Some planned some unplanned. They use a backhaul provider that has no redundancy. So any break in the OF they are using causes my service to go down. I'm actively looking to move away.

            I get good latency locally and internationally, however I'm not a gamer so don't care about pings.

    Paying 109$ for 12 months

    ABB no longer worth it any more. Move on to Superloop, Exetel, Leaptel, Launtel all better than ABB

    Don't really care they move call centre overseas. And they thought they can go to share market. Soon shares will collapse its probably already downhill

      Even spintel is cheaper than this.

    Newbie here. Want to change my nbn from foxtel as I'm not happy with it. Do i buy my own modem so i can chop and change between companies offering good deals, or do i sign up and go with whatever modem is available as part of the deal? So confusing for me.

      There should be no reason why you can't just keep using the Foxtel modem with any other provider you churn to.

      I don't know if Foxtel uses PPPoE (username/password required to auth) or IPoE (no username/pass) but maybe someone else here might know.

      If you know how to log into your current modem, check if the WAN set to use PPPoE or Dynamic / DHCP.

      Most providers use a dynamic/IPoE and it means that once your churn has gone through, the most you should have to do is reboot your modem. You might not even need to do that.

        Thanks for that. I will see if i can log in and check the WAN.

      Per bonzeAU, your foxtel modem should work, it’s a matter of being able to log in and fiddle with the settings. In the case it doesn’t, get a Telstra Smart Modem gen 2 on fb marketplace or gumtree, they usually go for $20. Works with every nbn, and if you are lucky, the SIM still works, you have basic free internet.

        Hi, thanks for that. Would a wifi extender or wifi mesh router be better? I have a few internet blackspots in my house. Thought a new modem and internet provider would fix that but from my limited research thats not the case…?

        • frugalftw on 02/10/2023 - 10:31

          Mesh is generally better because they blend in with your house decor better and you can add/remove nodes when your requirements change (move into a smaller or bigger house for example).

    When are we going to see speeds better than 1000/50 for residential connections? My parents in a relatively hick town in NZ can get 4000/4000 at the same price for 1000/50 here….
