Spotted this on Whirlpool and Neptune’s website.

If you sign up for Neptune’s 100/20 plan at $85/month before Monday, July 15, your speed will be automatically upgraded to 500/50 on Monday (FTTP/HFC only). You’ll stay on the $85/month rate for 12 months, even though the new price for 500/50 will be $98/month for new signups from Monday onwards

Neptune includes a static IP by default. This is a good option for people who don’t like the Exetel One plan because it lacks a static IP or CGNAT opt out.

5 day trial when you sign up today
Dedicated IPv4 address
2 Neptune VPN tunnels
Atmosphere DNS
Priority support from local experts
No lock in contracts

        New and existing Leaptel customers swapping from FTTN/FTTC to FTTP can signup for 500/50 today.

        Existing FTTP and HFC 100/20 customers boosts to 500/50 in September.

              @Twix: I really want the 2Gbps Day 1 but my NICs are all 1Gbps so my Wi-Fi 6E/7 will be the only thing that could use it. I don't even need it. I just want it.

              • Nom on 12/07/2025 - 17:41

                @Guybrush57: I currently pay the premium price for the 1Gb plan, but I'm immediately dropping to the base plan on day 1 - there won't be any noticeable difference between 1Gb and 500Mb, and it'll save me money 💰

                • Guybrush57 on 12/07/2025 - 19:09

                  @Nom: Yeah and tbh I'll probably do that too. There is no loss of upload compared to what we have now (50Mbps) and I've noticed most servers cannot saturate 1Gbps anyway.

              @Twix: I wonder if HFC users will ever get a free upgrade to FTTP, like FTTN users do.

              Oh sure, HFC is the next best thing, unless you live in a suburb where there are several outages each month, along with knockdowns, rebuilds, subdivisions, etc. so NBN Co. are constantly having to add more houses onto it.

              There will come a point where HFC won't be able to cope with higher speeds.

              Grrr. Don't mind me, just venting my frustration at NBN Co.

                nbn want to keep using HFC beyond 2030 and has tested HFC for 8.7Gbps download and 1.5Gbps upload.

                I hope nbn change their mind and swap HFC for FTTP.

            @CodeXD: Not all CGNATs are the same. Mario Kart (both 8 and World) online works fine for me with Superloop's CGNAT. MK 8 online didn't work with ABB's CGNAT.

      • ksama0079 on 12/07/2025 - 23:13

        is there any difference in CGNAT between different ISPs? I'm asking because I had to ask Tangerine to turn off CGNAT as I was having problem loading web pages. Once turned off, all went back to normal.

        • shutuptakemymoney101 on 13/07/2025 - 09:30
          +3

          CGNAT is the default for many internet service providers these days, if as a general rule CGNAT stopped webpages from loading it obviously wouldn't be used.

          There were probably other factors at play as to why you couldn't get webpages loading, turning CGNAT off fixing the problem was either a coincidence or Tangerine realized and fixed an issue on their part that wasn't explained to you at the time.

  • Originality on 12/07/2025 - 15:27

    Getting more and more frustrating knowing that they (NBN) just wont upgrade the unit I live in unless the owner PAYS to have them all upgraded to FTTP.

          Is your unit FTTN, FTTC or HFC?

          • Originality on 13/07/2025 - 12:31

            @Twix: FTTC

            • Twix on 13/07/2025 - 12:47

              @Originality: I doubt FTTC to FTTP will be $2k to $10k each for six units. Most likely $275 for each unit. The owner can apply here and a technician will come do a $0 quote.

              I've seen FTTP unit quotes for…
              6, 8 and 12 units = $275 each.
              19 units = $1400 each.

      • Twix on 13/07/2025 - 11:29

        FTTN/FTTC to FTTP in multi dwelling units are $275 each (sometimes more). All units must pay and get approval from the owner. nbn covers the rest.

        FTTN/FTTC to FTTP is a $0 installation at most homes.

        Have a look at Southern Phone as well, they are doing 100/20 for $65 per month for 12 months - presumably this will be boosted to 500/50 in September.

        If you stay with Southern Phone 12 months you'll also get a free router (TP-Link VX230v or Amazon eero 6+)

        • playaz91 on 13/07/2025 - 09:54

          Southern Phone chat told me they won’t be boosting the speed, they’ll offer new plans with new prices. Not sure how they’ll do this though as my assumption was that 100/20 will cease to exist for FTTP/HFC.

          • shutuptakemymoney101 on 13/07/2025 - 11:12

            @playaz91: Disappointing if they don't boost to 500/50, still $65 for 12 months on 100/20 is pretty good.

    Not going to neg but agree with others. This is nothing special.

    All NBN 100/20 is getting uprated to 500/50 soon, some have already started doing so - and $85pm for 100/20 is mediocre at best.

          • Cousin IT on 13/07/2025 - 10:41

              @Cousin IT: Yes I have to do that but prefer not having to resort to it. Why can’t banks and telcos understand that it is easier and cheaper to keep customers than trying to entice new ones…

                @Buy2Much: Update: if you are an existing customer, delete the old “My Exetel” app, install a new one “Exetel”. There should be an option there to switch your plan to the new 500/50 plan immediately!

      I came over to Exetel from Leaptel when my discounted period ended, haven't noticed any difference in the quality of the connection tbh, I guess that's a good thing.

      Once we get uplifted to 500/50 in September the included 5 x monthly speed boosts are going to be 1000/100.

    • Twix on 12/07/2025 - 17:27

      Exetel 500/50 is good for most users. 1000/50 is $1 extra a day. Note that it's CG-NAT and you can't turn off CG-NAT. Static IP is not available for new Exetel customers.

      Existing Leaptel 100/20 customers boosts to 500/50 in September. Leaptel allows you to turn off CG-NAT and Static IP is available.

      • shutuptakemymoney101 on 13/07/2025 - 17:12

        Interesting that the Exetel $1 boosts are only to 1000/50 and not 1000/100 in line with the NBN speed tier boost. As this can all get a bit confusing, I wonder if this is fact or maybe some sort of a typo on the upload speed by the person updating the website using the current TES as a reference.

        • Twix on 13/07/2025 - 17:22

          Exetel and Neptune are buying 1000/50 from nbn and making it 500/50. There isn't any extra upload available.

          I reckon Exetel will update the $1 boosts to 1000/100 in September.

    • teatea on 12/07/2025 - 18:17

      I've found that for watching live streaming services, there's huge buffers (up to 20 second delays). Or it won't auto reconnect unless if you manually pause/play. But beyond that, it's ok for the value you get out of it. I recently came from More (Tangerine) Telecom. And everyone hates on Tangerine for some reason. Exetel has always been like that for me.

      • Elyxar on 12/07/2025 - 18:48

        Tangerine did an Optus and failed to secure their customers' data. Not sure of another reason.

    I won't say this is a deal, however I will 100% vouch for these guys and their service.

    I'm on their 250/100 plan and consistently get above these speeds! Their network is not at capacity I assume. Which they do publish.

    I switched from AussieBB to Neptune after Aussie wouldn't budge on price. Haven't had anything other than a good experience.

    https://bgp.he.net/AS151660#_graph4 They have decent peering directly with GSL apparently, if it goes via Perth this is good for playing on EU servers. Depends on their routing table

    GSL has essentially the best Perth > EU routing

    Edit: according to BGP on test IP it routes 133206 Mel > Syd, THEN GSL (137409), then riot games via Sydney. Doesn’t connect directly to GSL in mel for routing via perth

    If all you want is basic internet for the cheapest price then this ISP is not for you. Better off heading to Exetel or Superloop. If you want maybe a static IP, a VPN service, a DNS that allows you to block certain content such as ads and other stuff (great if you have kids using the net), and the ability to adjust other settings such as using a policer or shaper (to improve gaming performance) then this ISP is for you. It is not the cheapest with premium transit such as GSL.. but if you join today (Sunday 13th) you can save a few dollars on a couple of plans compared to signing up at a later date. Worth it for those that look to quality.
    For those old enough to remember this ISP has a early days "Internode" feel to it.. you guys will know what I mean :)

      Totally agree. This feels like a good deal for a premium-tier ISP.

      I just churned in from ABB for this deal and have been impressed.
