Price drop on September 1st for the nbn FTTP speed tiers with more upload speed.
You don't need an ABN.
Includes a Static IP address.
New and existing customers.
| Speed Tier | New Ongoing Price | Was | nbn Technology |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250/100 (Superfast PRO) | $109/month | $139/month | FTTP or HFC |
| 500/200 (Turbofast PRO) | $130/month | $169/month | FTTP |
| 1000/400 (Ultrafast PRO) | $150/month | $199/month | FTTP |
Note: This is not to be confused with the cheaper speed tiers that have less upload speed (500/50, 750/50 and 1000/100).
$50 each for referrer & referee apply afterwards.
I signed up yesterday so far so good.
Yeah the free month is good if you don't mind 50Mbps upload.
be aware - by default is CG-NAT - need to add for static IP.
Upload does also include live camera feeds so if you find that camera streams are slow and laggy then this is for you
It is still much more expensive than other ISP.
This is for faster upload speeds.
500/50 vs 500/200
1000/100 vs 1000/400.
NBN lowering wholesale price for these so nothing special. You'll see other companies doing the same soon enough
True however not all providers will sell 250/100, 500/200 and 1000/400.
Superloop already dropped the price but they want an ABN for 500/200 and 1000/400 and no ABN for 250/100.
Aussie BB is $5/m more ongoing without an ABN on all speed tiers vs Superloop.
I'm waiting to see what Launtel and Leaptel will do.
Aussie BB is $5/m more ongoing
Showing $9/m more for me…
My 250/100 plan appears to have been grandfathered at $100/m.
Currently paying $75/m after 6 month discount and referrals subtracted.
@jv: Yeah jv got grandfathered at $100/m. Now it's 250/100 $99/m for residential and $105/m for business ongoing @ Superloop.
Are you staying with 250/100 or changing speed?
Are you staying with 250/100 or changing speed?
Will probably stay and see what happens with the business plans…
The 100 upload is useful for synching large files with onedrive/sharepoint…
Don't really have much need for faster download speeds at present.
Also, the $10 referel bonus for 6 months comes in useful.
@jv: How do you find out if your Grandfathered im on the 100 Mb been on it for years
do i get a email or what
Thanks
Still no 2gbps prices for sept?
Not yet. I'm guessing at least $150/m to $200/m.
Just FYI, you often don't actually see the full upload speeds on anything but speed tests.
OneDrive maxes out around 150-200Mbps I find, well peered servers around 200 too.
You're using the wrong tools or network hardware then.
I have full 10Gbit local networking and the 1Gbit router gets full 1Gbit locally.
Downloads are fine, their peering for uploads just sucks. It's not a higher category bandwidth than consumer plans so the upload speed is basically 'as is'.
Ah it's good to see someone who knows what they're talking about then. Have you got DPI, TLS 3.0 decryption, or something similar enabled? They often throttle speeds due to the hardware itself not being able to keep up.
Out of curiosity too - what are you using it for and have you tried multi-threaded uploads/downloads? I find with a standard download from anything I don't get gigabit speeds, however if I run something multi-threaded I can pull in excess of gigabit sometimes.
@Tacooo: Downloads are fine (as with 1000/50 plan), uploads were the only issue
speedtest.net I've only tried multithreaded, so that may form apart of it. OneDrive may multithread automatically but really not sure.
Uploading to any of my servers was just bottlenecked as hell somewhere - servers simply aren't peered for high speed uploads from residential, rather for serving content (high speed downloads to residential).
There may be niche storage solutions which have better peering or potentially using certain VPNs, but I couldn't find anything. Note I only put a few hours effort into troubleshooting on Launtel before downgrading again at the end of the day.
I would have to do a deep dive into the Launtel ASN to understand an exact workaround for them, same with AussieBB. Aussie from memory has slightly better peering so may be better uploads too.
Uploading on enterprise AAPT networks I get ~300 to Cloudflare, 430 to Azure, etc. Speedtest.net gets the full 700-800+, but even with enterprise the peering still sucks for uploads. AAPT is probably the worst enterprise example though because they basically only use the consumer TPG ASN but prioritise bandwidth, so the peering issue remains.
@Twix lets be honest these are no cheap lol
Can you find any that are considerably cheaper?
500/200 was $319/m and 1000/400 was $429/m in 2020.
Under $100/m in 2030? 😂
there will be post September :) i have internal pricing.
A new customer 6 month deal @ Aussie BB?
yeah will be but not with Aussie. Basically $65 dollars will be base rate for 500/50 going forward the $80 for 1000/100 and 2000/200 will be around $130-$150
Isn't there a speed increase across the board later in the year ❓
Yeah with less upload.
500/50, 750/50 and 1000/100.
Thanks for that , I didn't realize they were robbing Peter to pay Paul .
Been with ABB for the last 5 years but honestly can’t justify their high prices anymore
Recently switched to Buddy and couldn’t be happier
Buddy Telco suits most users. This is for those that want faster upload.
Any free speed upgrade with normal NBN plan?
Yeah starting mid September.
| Old Speed Tiers | New Speed Tiers | nbn Technology |
|---|---|---|
| 100/20 | 500/50 | FTTP and HFC |
| 250/25 | 750/50 | FTTP and HFC |
| 1000/50 | 1000/100 | FTTP and HFC |
Good thanks
Not much of a bump if i'm already on 1000/50. And, on HFC, so no possible free upgrade to fibre :(
Not much of a bump if i'm already on 1000/50
Downgrade it first.
@superforever: Was considering dropping to 750/50 and saving what… $10 a month (i'm with Aussie Broadband) when the new speeds take effect.
Would still love a fibre upgrade. The HFC situation here is a mess. Constant weekly maintenance, new connections constantly being added, and it's causing a lot more drop-outs.
@Graffin: I have dropped to 100/20 (with $20 off 6 months promo), wait for 500/50 upgrade (FTTP) here.
Sucks, I want 400 up, but not paying $20k to upgrade to FTTP. Still paying for the Liberal shitshow 12 years later
Never forget. Stuck on HFC?
I should put that on a t-shirt
Same man!
Is your address not part of the upgrade policy? We got FTTP upgrade for free once the upgrades were available in our area, just sign up for it. Was done within a week of request.
The majority of FTTN and FTTC is eligible for the $0 FTTP installation.
HFC to FTTP is $15k to $30k.
No can do on HFC, so we're stuck with slower upload speeds
So wish I could signup to these on HFC and get a free FTTP upgrade..
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 start allowing HFC to FTTP without spending $15k to $30k.
yep fingers crossed on this from hfc -> fttp!
Wish i could sign up now haha - ABB seem to just be so much better for usenet etc i find compared to leap. Would make the swap now if i could get the price for 1000/400
Something actually decrease in price nowadays? Shocking
ABB's Website and YouTube video to handle new multigig speeds and available plans - waiting for pricing - https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/high-speed-upgrades/
Superloop and Exetel - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/9vw4y851
Keen to see how the competition will respond or sit on the fence until Sep 14
I want the ABB Pro plan, but thanks to Abbott I'll never get it
Leaptel already offers this pricing and speeds. EDIT except the 1000/400 which is very interesting that ABB will be cheaper for once.
Aussie BB has a cheaper ongoing price for 1000/400, 500/200 and 250/100.
Leaptel has not updated the high upload plans price for September.
Pro plans not available for Opticomm Fibre only NBN
