    I am a fan of this RSP and would recommend them.

    But… where’s the bargain? This isn’t OzRRP

    • dealmaker on 24/08/2025 - 14:27

      500/50 $85/M thats actually pretty amazing and it is not limited to WA it seems.
      Is there anything else comparable in value?

      • Rorku on 24/08/2025 - 14:31

        I’m with tangerine and I’m paying $69pm for 1000/50 until October and then it goes to 500/50
        So yeah, $15 cheaper for the same speed

      • internet-stranger on 24/08/2025 - 14:32
        +4

        Exetel has is for $80 (though no static IP),
        In 3 weeks every 100/20 plan will be 500/50….

        Right now,
        Tangerine is $68 for 6 months,
        Superloop/Southern Phone are $85 for 1000/50

      • Twix on 24/08/2025 - 14:38

        Nothing comparable with all the included extras.

        If you don't need the extras there is Buddy Telco/Exetel ongoing, Leaptel for 12 months and Superloop for 6 months.

      • Pashka on 24/08/2025 - 19:14

        Again. Where in the bargain?

          For the discerning internet user who values a rock-solid connection, excellent routing, responsive support, and handy features such as flexible speeds and Away Mode, this service represents outstanding value. To me, this is a bargain.

    • longislandviper on 25/08/2025 - 17:03

      the 25/10 plan at $55 flat is a great bargain.

  • PeeDee on 24/08/2025 - 14:31

    ISPs are getting competitive. Any negs for this for users in Sydney? I'm with Telco Buddy so far so good.

    • Tyrx on 24/08/2025 - 14:39
      +2

      Telco Buddy is just ABB rebranded which has the better network. That's not a slight against Neptune, but when you're that small you just can't compete with them. Just keep expectations in check if you're going to move.

      The main benefit of Neptune would be the extra products (e.g dedicated IP for "free", allows you to basically get rid of pihole if you run that) and the fact you get support rather than just live chat with Telco Buddy.

      • PeeDee on 24/08/2025 - 16:10

        Yeah and it's $10 cheaper

      • amrdeus on 24/08/2025 - 19:33

        Dedicated IP? Like static IP? Pihole can get around that and give you a static IP to run a server off of?

        • Tyrx on 24/08/2025 - 19:49
          +7

          Poorly worded on my behalf - I meant those were two specific examples of benefits that come with the plan. The first being the dedicated IP, and the second being you can get rid of Pihole because they support DNS sinkholes at the ISP level.

    • longislandviper on 25/08/2025 - 17:02

      Buddy Telco is getting sold to Tangerine.

      • Twix on 25/08/2025 - 20:19

        The Buddy brand and customers will transition to Tangerine and connections will remain on the Aussie Broadband network as part of the wholesale services agreement.

      • howard22 on 07/09/2025 - 18:50

        eww, and I just literally called today to tell Tangerine i'm exitting - their service has become unstable and quality has dropped.

        Read around and Neptune seems like great value for money. Yes I like the perks including staticIP, DNS, etc for that price point.

  • pencilman on 24/08/2025 - 14:52

    Looks good with the all the inclusions.
    Part of being on Ozbargain is being informed of choices, and this looks a worthy choice if looking around at ISPs.

        Well this sounds more promising for what I need as my Leaptel promo ends in September. And nearly all RSPs are price-jacking the "free speed upgrade" so I've been hunting down an on-shore provider with something like ABB or Superloop as the backbone. Thanks for the info!

        • ProjectZero on 24/08/2025 - 15:26

          Oh, i'm in a similar boat, my promo finishes in November. If you do end up using Neptune Internet, please let us know how you find it.

          I used to use Superloop/Exetel so I know their infrastructure for me is good, just dont want to jump on the Exetel plan since they only provide CGNat for their new plans.

          • KangaDrew on 24/08/2025 - 15:44

            @ProjectZero: Yeah I'll try and remember :-) Superloop infrastructure is great… but their support is utter dog sh*t so I avoid them like the plague.

            • GTR12 on 24/08/2025 - 18:06

                @GTR12: You only need one painful issue to make support quality matter a lot. I had one of those recently with a relative and it was so bad that exetel has effectively lost three accounts (hers, and two of mine) off the back of one terrible interaction.

                I'd have zero problem with paid per incident support. I'm sick of dealing with third world CSAs.

          All good. Some more options that may suit:

          Buddy Telco: 1 month free and 500/50 $85/m ongoing.
          Backhaul: Aussie BB.
          Static IPv6 and CG-NAT IPv4. $5/m for a Static IPv4 and to turn off CG-NAT.

          Exetel: 500/50 $80/m ongoing.
          Backhaul: Superloop.
          Static IPv6 and CG-NAT IPv4. No Static IPv4 and you can't turn off CG-NAT.

            @Twix: There is TopShopback $100 cashback offer on Exetel. That is $16 off per month for 6 months (or $33 off for 3 months). Probably better to stay 6 months given the long wait for that $100 cashback.

            For someone who doesn't mind waiting for a few months to join this (to get static IP), join Exetel for 6 months (bear with CGNAT), after getting the cashback, churn to this. Also, check for your bank's NBN discount offer(s). You might be pleasantly surprised (though it depends on the award level you are on).

    • ozimarco on 30/08/2025 - 00:18

      This is another plus for Neptune: no surcharges on any payment method, no setup fee and no need to give notice when leaving. Also, if you have a referral code or use a referral link, the discount comes off your first payment (after the trial). Some ISPs make you wait for the discount until you get your first invoice one month after signing.

  • clot10 on 24/08/2025 - 16:30

    I've just moved to these guys from Leaptel, felt like changing it up. They have been awesome, great service, get 12ms ping in CS2 and I'm based in Melbourne. There atmosphere DNS is cool, can enable adblocking lists, which blocks ads on all devices connected to your router. No need for adblock on your phone. Speeds are great as well and they quickly respond on live chat!

    Just to add, Leaptel are awesome as well

    • howard22 on 07/09/2025 - 18:51

  • Blasters on 24/08/2025 - 17:21

    I don't know if its a good idea having your ISP as your VPN provider, I would think it defeats the purpose of a VPN. Is it with a third party like GSL, M247, etc. ? Unless I missed it on their website, the VPN information are light on details.

    Same with DNS, I would think it defeats the purpose, having your ISP filtering and resolving queries.

    +1 for the static IP address!

    • Twix on 24/08/2025 - 17:23

      So are you saying that you want a seperate VPN because the purpose of a VPN is to hide yourself for piracy?

      Because that's not the purpose of a VPN, and it's not why Neptune are offering it.

      VPN is hosted in our Datacenter and is not designed for anonymisation. The use case is more if your preference is to traverse NBN access network encrypted or while travelling get an Australian ip address. We do have plans to have it in other locations. Will happen soon.

        VPN use cases are explained on Neptunes' website, refer to Twix's link above.

        Because that's not the purpose of a VPN, and it's not why Neptune are offering it.

        It is (now) multi-region, I think a little more than solely having an Australian IP address, and ties in with their use cases.

      • Tyrx on 25/08/2025 - 10:22

        To be fair, Neptune does state that "your privacy and security aren't optional. These are priorities we build around" on their homepage and lists the VPN service as a selling point for that.

        I do think that can be misinterpreted as the VPN service as having the usual features you expect from privacy focused providers (e.g. no logs) - obviously it's impossible for any Australian service provider to do that legally, but people don't always know that.

    • netsurfer on 24/08/2025 - 21:53
      +2

      VPN servers are hosted in their Datacenters and cloud provider(s). They are not designed for anonymisation. My guess is Neptune tech staff wanted to setup some VPNs for themselves (to overcome geo-blocking), but sugar coated them as extra features for the customers (to keep boss happy).

      You may get better performance since it is Wireguard based. However, I would assume you will be logged. Also, CGNAT is used for those VPNs.

      Same for that DNS filter. Most likely some staff wanted to setup Pi-hole on server(s).

              End of the day, they may refund/drop the invoice but it’s a lot of work, time and stress vs planning 30 days out.

      On CG-NAT with the new Extel One plan, and think I'm getting the increased captchas,
      but not website bans and rate limits - can you give more details?
      For me, otherwise everything working fine on CG-NAT.

        I can't remember the site but my IP was banned. That was my first time using the site. I also remember a long time ago my IP was banned from contributing to Wikipedia because someone else was vandalising articles.

        As for the rate limits I recall a few sites telling me to slow down because there was too much traffic coming from my IP. I remember I wanted to download something from mega.nz and it told me I had to wait to reset my daily download quota. Because someone else on my IP address used up the quota already!

        I've also been having so many issues with Microsoft logins. Infinite redirects, and straight up "that didn't work, please try again" errors.

        Never had an issue on a dynamic IP before.

          Sounds like these problems were from a while ago? - or are these more recently on Exetel?
          If current, then yes - that sounds bad.

          On Exetel I'm using IPv6 with dual stack CG-NAT IPv4 - maybe using IPv6 is bypassing these other issues.

            @pencilman: Wikipedia was when I was on CGNAT years ago.

            Everything else has happened since I moved to Exetel with CGNAT 2 months

          Microsoft logins have some problems at the moment, I see those same issues at work and at home sometimes, and neither connection are using any kind of IP sharing. This particular one is not related to your CG-NAT.

    After a couple hiccoughs initially,
    all setup and working well… really really well.
    Support via chat was excellent … Thanks Murray..

    The five day trial period is what convinced me..
    Downgraded my FTTP Launtel from 1000/50 to 250/50 to make room on the NTD..
    but signed up too quickly. .. after the change.. which lead to some issues..

    For those in Melbourne.. .. its definitely worth a try..

    I am with Neptune for NBN and I'm very happy!

    some thoughts:

    their portal has everything a nerd could want to manage the NBN service.
    billing could use a make a one time payment option or pay in parts options?

    I am a Neptune customer and I can say it's miles ahead of anything else when all things are considered. Its a good honest ISP with very helpful and knowledgeable staff should you need assistance. If you are in any sort of doubt, they have the free trial. Give them a go and see for yourself.

    Will be moving over from Futurebroadband as their pricing are uncompetitive (~40% more expensive)

    Any suggestions on a great modem / router to use with this?

    I'd be coming off 5g home broadband so have to send the current one back.
