Guess I'd better…..ACT now?
What’s the point of getting FTTB if it’s only 100/20?
Compared to what? 5G and Starlink? The improved reliability, less likely to be over provisioned and a better ping on a wired connection.
Obviously not as good as FTTP as there’s still old copper running from the basement to the units, but I’d take it over the theoretically faster 5G and Starlink, so long as the old copper wasn’t completely stuffed.
Is the assumption NBN isn’t available in the same area? Seems to be about the same price.
NBN wouldn’t be available in the majority (if not all) places that have access to this no.
NBN don’t install where alternatives already existed.
Same as people with Opticomm can’t get NBN.
@PainToad: Ah.. so if TPG or IINET swoop in and deliver infrastructure before NBN they’ve basically got a monopoly?
@Commodore64: It really swoop in before. Alternatives to NBN existed long before the idea was even conceived.
Then when NBN came along, they didn’t over build existing providers so they could “complete” the roll out quicker.
@PainToad: But is TPG's FTTB considered an alternative? They use the same copper lines as NBN so I think most of these areas should still have NBN FTTB/FTTN available.
@BROKENKEYBOARD: Correct, TPG's FTTB is not considered an alternative. My old unit had TPG FTTB for years before NBN, and when NBN became available via FTTN, it remains as an option. I remained on TPG FTTB for years after NBN was available as it was previously as cheap as $59/m for 100/20 and had excellent speeds and reliability.
EDIT: I am assuming iiNet FTTB is identical to TPG's FTTB.
And no email hosting….
Why would you want your ISP hosting your email?
Not quite ready to switch over to Hotmail yet as it doesn't support Netscape Mail very well.
Why not? They did up to a few months ago…
How is this a deal? Why would you bother to get FTTB for only 100/20 speeds? FTTN with most providers is cheaper than this anyway.
Some homes only have access to FTTB on the iinet network. iinet FTTB is not using the same network as nbn FTTB and FTTN where you have more choice of ISPs.
Wouldn't this deal work out as $47.49 per month for the first 6?
Because if you have this, you can’t get NBN FTTN, or any type of NBN.
Also, unless you happen to have a node at the end of you driveway, FTTB will be much better than FTTN. It’s the same as FTTC, except the node is inside the unit block instead of the curb. Compared to FTTN where the node could be hundreds of meters away.
Fair enough, thanks for the explanation!
Is this deal valid for HFC connection too?
This isn’t NBN.
Is the iinet 5g home broadband any good?
Ultra fttb is not available in my area… otherwise would go nbn fttb
Also available on their VDSL2 plans in the ACT.
