for those early adopters 1000/100mbps for under $100
CGNat only.
I have not used them before, support can be slow as it's manual provision.

Still amazing that gigabit connection is still such an expensive and recent thing. Elsewhere in the world gigabit has been around for more than a decade and costs $20 a month unlimited. Thanks a lot NBN co.
Showing my age here, but i can remember paying $60 a month for a 500mb wireless plan on 2G (+ cost of the dongle) and how good that was.
Even before this time, i was on dial up and a mates uncle who was doing something in IT, had a HFC connection that cost some crazy amount, in awe of how fast a webpage would load.
Lol…. back in the day. Crazy how tech has progressed in the last 30 years!It's wild that I can now download the entire monthly data allowance of my first 256k internet connection in the time it takes to type 'data cap'
@Brobert: Hmmm I think I am mistaken. I had hour caps. But I also knew my system admin at my local ISP and he told me he would disconnect people that were just constantly maxing out their connection over a few hours. I think their uplink connection could only handle about 20 modems going flat out
To download a 100 MB file using a 28.8 kbps dial-up connection with the ZMODEM protocol, which typically achieves around 90% transfer efficiency, it would take approximately 8 hours and 47 minutes.
that's probably why my ISP had time limits instead. that was like 3 South Park.episodes!
and these magical places?
IPv6?
Cheap but reading up about CGNat - sounds like could be a pain depending on who else you're sharing the IP address with.
not really, it's a pain for gaming, torrenting and not practical if you're hosting a server/service. There's a fair bit of BS by self a proclaimed experts, who aren't.
Having said that, I like a static IP.
The majority of people aren't hosting their own website. Typical use case, CGNAT is fine. And no one IP bans anymore. It's 2025.
How are they offering 1000/100 when it hasn’t been released yet?
Probably taking a small loss for a month with the idea of keeping customers longer term?
The ISP purchases 1000/400 from nbn and the ISP turns it into 1000/100.
The wholesale price for 1000/400 is $125. Does that mean they will lose nearly $30 per month, and continue incurring this loss for six months?
They lose $27 for 1 month per customer. 1000/100 wholesale is around $74/m starting mid September.
Can’t order 1000/400 on HFC….
So not sure what they are doing hereTrue. Yeah I was talking about FTTP.
@Twix: Ok. All the CIS and order documents say 50-100 mbs.
My guess is On HFC you would be on 50mbs max for the first month.
does CGNat cause problems with pings in online gaming?
often.
So the solution is perm IP?
It depends on the game, definitely causes issues on consoles.
It's not just pings. The more concerning part is that it can impact your ability to match/connect to games and other players.
Everyone on 1000/50 gets moved to 1000/100 in a month.
nbn 1000/50 $85/M for 6 months (new customers) @ Superloop.
nbn 1000/50 $99/M for 12 months (new customers) @ Leaptel.
1 Month Free (new customers) & nbn 1000/50 $99/M Ongoing @ Buddy Telco (Aussie Broadband).
mmm maybe ill try this
haven't signed up with them….but something i can appreciate about their site is they clearly show all the plans and options, and they don't ask for your address first to find out what they can offer you.
We received an offer from CBA for $50 off NBN from "More" for 36 months. Brings down the price to $50/mth for 500/50 nbn. Has anyone used More? It seems like a good deal, but not sure about locking in for 3 years.
Been using it about an year for CBA deal and it's not great but cheap. Speed is unreliable and inconsistent.
Great, thanks - that's really helpful.
No option for removing CGNat or adding a static IP kills it.
90% of people paying for speed that high care so its a bit silly
Warning all. The Quokka is vulnerable as the population is decreasing. Keep that in mind.
That's some pretty awesome speeds.
