IPv4 and IPv6, Carrier Grade NAT and Static IP address

IPv4 and IPv6 is enabled for new and existing customers.

New customers are put on CG-NAT and this doesn't affect most users. CG-NAT can be turned off for $0. What is CG-NAT?.

Static IPv6 address is included at no extra cost on all plans. Login to the Leaptel portal on their website to enable a Static IP.

Static IPv4 address can be purchased for $10/month (optional) on all plans except 2000/500. Using a Static IP turns off CG-NAT.

Static IPv4 and Static IPv6 address is included at no extra cost on 2000/500. Using a Static IP turns off CG-NAT. Login to the Leaptel portal on their website to enable a Static IP.

      This is how they have been posted before. Two different offers and pricing.

      1. Existing nbn FTTP and HFC locations (new customers).
      2. nbn FTTN/FTTC to FTTP upgrades (new and existing customers).
    • Did you really need to comment?

    FYI: Leaptel don't consider you a new customer until you've been away for 12 months.

    I'm still trying to decide whether I stick with SL or go to ABB, Leaptel or Launtel for 2000/100 HFC.

    • Pretty sure they wont consider you a new customer even after 12 months. They keep records.

      • +2

        I have spoken with them and they specifically said 12 months (I didn't neg you btw).

        • Sometimes Leaptel won't give you the promo price again unless you pick a faster plan.

          • @Twix: Oh what, they certainly didn't tell me that.

            • +2

              @Maths Debater: My mate got his deal extended. You have to ask and see what they offer.

              • @Twix: My problem atm Twix is not knowing who is best for international transit. I keep hearing Launtel is best because they use GSL. I understand Leaptel also use GSL and SL for domestic. SL use their own network for domestic and international. Everyone seems to be buying service off SL so would one not assume SL should be the best? This is way over my head!

                • @Maths Debater: It depends on the server location. Do you have the IP address?

                  • @Twix: My parents use an international streaming device called GLWiz. They're based in Toronto Canada so does that mean I have to test any Canadian IP address?

                    • +1

                      @Maths Debater: Yeah find some Toronto servers IP address.

                      Google: Leaptel looking glass, Launtel looking glass, Superloop looking glass and Aussie BB looking glass.
                      Type in the IP address in the looking glass to get an idea.

                        @Twix: Leaptel is 15ms faster. There's a consistent trend I'm finding with GSL being the better transit network.

                        • @Maths Debater: Nice. What about Launtel since they both use GSL?

                          • +1

                            @Twix: Exactly the same :)
                            This tells me that Leaptel is crazy good bang for back at $155 considering Launtel are asking $6/day.

              • @Twix: Ok but I wonder how though. Last time when I was 100/20 they were only able to offer me $89 for 250/20 which I'm still on til November…. Now got auto upgraded to 750/50 but the price diff will be $104 vs $89 so that's huge…

                How would you make them extend for you!?

                • @neonlight: He called up and asked about what they can do if he stays.

              • +1

                @Twix: I reached out and asked a rep what they could do, and they knocked my ongoing cost down by $10. Considering the excellent quality of my connection and Leaptel support, I was happy enough to take the deal rather than churn.

                Just reach out to see what they can do, better than nothing!

          • +1

            @Twix: Ok Twix so you were absolutely right with this comment. I called Leaptel instead of chatting with them and they confirmed that anything over NBN500 is considered a new plan so you are eligible for the promo. Finally! That's enough for me to switch over. I'm done waiting on SL. Might be worth putting this in the description I reckon.

            • @Maths Debater: Nice one. What speed plan did you get?

              • +1

                @Twix: 2000/100 :)

                • @Maths Debater: I like it. Is your router capable of 2000Mbps?

                  • @Twix: My router has 1x 2.5Gb Ethernet port. I assume that's ok right?

                    • @Maths Debater: 1 x 2.5GbE WAN is ok if you're mainly using Wi-Fi.

                      Get a router with 2.5GbE WAN and 2.5GbE LAN if you use wired Ethernet.

                      • @Twix: It's a RBKE962. I think it's 10Gb WAN and 2.5Gb LAN.

                        • +1

                          @Maths Debater: Yeah it does. You should be good pending the 2.5GbE nbn HFC NTD delivery.

            • +1

              @Ademos: They have addressed this too. They manually review all connections if the same address has previously been connected. Unless of course your wife doesn't share the same surname as you.

        • +1

          The owner of Leaptel posted on whirlpool many times they won't EVER consider you a new customer regardless of how long you have been away. And they will manually investigate a new connection if the address has previously had a Leaptel connection to stop spouses, relatives, etc getting the discount.

          • @Bruceflix: Well it seems staff may need further training and stop misleading people. Imagine getting told yes by a staff member then no by back of house.

            • +1

              @Maths Debater: What Leaptel did for me though was,
              When I did the FTTP upgrade I was already a Leaptel customer on FTTN. So they treated the FTTP upgrade as a new Connection and honoured the $89 p/m deal for 1000/50.

          • +1

            @Bruceflix: That's a shame to hear. They have been good, but I guess once the year is up, they want me leaving and not coming back?

          • @Bruceflix: Ooo. Denying a connection to a woman trying to shift utilities into her name after becoming estranged and abandoned by her husband.

            Let's have that fight. Oh you want proof of our relationship status, as a private company? Oh yes please, that fight. That one.

            In fact, if the owners so set on being such a dick about existing customers and deals, I might just leave tomorrow. (profanity) you, my guy.

            • +1

              @Ademos: Denying a new customer discount isa little different to denying a connection. The owner only denies connections to those with a history of downloading above the average amount of data.

              • @Bruceflix: So you can never get a deal once you give him your money, and unlimited isn't unlimited. The more I hear about this company the less I like it.

          • @Bruceflix: At scale they are never going to be able to do this.

            Sure they might be able to have some in exact science that might be able to detect it, but it’s pretty much impossible to police accurately (and they will spend unnecessary energy doing it in a scale up business).

    • Anyone had why experience trying to be a new customer by using partners name instead?

      • -2

        They go by the service address.

        • -1

          But if my partner has a different surname…… i dont see how they could tell its the same couple.

          • -3

            @cheesecactus: The surname doesn't make a difference as they go by the service address.

            • +7

              @Maths Debater: So if I rent a house, and any of the past tenants have ever been with Leaptel, I'm not counted as new customer? That seems like it would cause an awful lot of conflict for the sake of avoiding a few dodgy discounts.

              • +1

                @pscac001: I agree with you, but what's stopping someone else in the house with a different surname saying they're a new tenant? I don't imagine they're going to start asking for rental contracts. Neither ABB, Leaptel or Superloop have asked for my personal ID anyway so you could be John Doe as far as they're concerned.

                • @Maths Debater:

                  "but what's stopping someone else in the house with a different surname saying they're a new tenant?"

                  Thats exactly what I was saying?

                  Even if I've been a previous leaptel customer, if my partner with a different surname signs up, even if we're at the same address, how would they check this?

                  • @cheesecactus: What do you mean? They can literally see if Leaptel has been connected at that address in the past.

                    • @Maths Debater: Yes…. and I'm a new person now… at the same address. Maybe a new tenant, maybe i bought the house, who knows. They cant prove it. They're not going to ask for a tenancy agreement or a house purchase agreement. And if they ask for a water/gas bill, fortunately my name is on half and my partners is on the other half…

                      • @cheesecactus: I think we're missing each others points. What I am trying to say is, allowing different surnames at the same service address defeats the purpose of having the 12 month rule when anyone in the household could call up with a different surname. I asked support today what would happen if someone with a different surname at the same service address signed up and they said it will get rejected from the promo price. Take that as you will.

                          It does seem to be one of those rules that they talk about a lot on whirlpool, but i havent actually seen any evidence of enforcement, plus this seems next to impossible to actually enforce (without unintentionally blocking genuine new customers from applying to leaptel). Seems the risk of incorrect enforcement is higher than just allowing new customers.

                          Your first comment of "They go by the service address." is purely what leaptel is saying, not actually what they're doing.

              • @pscac001: You get the new customer deal however ISPs may ask for proof from another bill.

    For those wondering what other RSP's have released 2gb pricing, Launtel per below:

    2000/100 $6.00 $182.50
    2000/200 $6.00 $182.50
    2000/500 $8.00 $243.33

      Thanks for that maths

      • Launtel 2gb plans are also live!

        I'm going to be patient and wait on ABB and SL to pull a finger out before I make a final decision.

        • Launtel do daily rates so signup then churn? Leaptel look cheaper based on 30 day month.

          • +1

            @FerreroRocher: Yeah, I'm thinking about trying Launtel for their GSL network but is it worth $6/day? I guess there's only 1 way to find out. I'm currently paying $89/m for gigabit so losing the promotion is going to hurt!

            • @Maths Debater: The network is decent but purevpn has GSL servers in Perth if you need peering that way, most of GSLs other peering isn’t a huge difference

              Purevpn is profit on cashback

    • Why are they pricing it per day? Can you switch plans daily?

      • Yep, as often as you like apparently.

        • Sounds great. Could save on days when traveling for work.

      • Yes but it’s expensive enough that you’re essentially better off just going with one of the 6 month 500/50 sign up bonuses

      • Because it looks cheaper than pricing per month

    • Not even six months. Just do it whenever you see the best deals or cashback.

      Leaptel showing me these prices and I've been with them twice before. So they would consider me "new" it looks like from the signup page.

      • Bruceflix above said “They manually review all connections if the same address has previously been connected.”
        So basically, once you’ve been a Leaptel customer before, you’re not treated as a new one anymore. How did you end up getting the promo twice?

        • The signup process isn't going to tell you that you're ineligible for the promo, it's back of house that will reject it.

      • The signup page won't reject you from the promo, back of house do. I asked support the same question today.

    Thanks Twix signing up after churning Arctel.

  • The one thing I don't like about Wentworth Point, the lack of NBN. Best plan I can get through Leaptel is $84.95 for 100/40 :(

    • Try Arctel NBN500 $50

      • +1

        Thanks but doesn't work still. Their "lightning fast" deal is 100/34 for $91.99 a month. Super fast is 100/17.

        I'm with a local provider giving us 100/80 on 5G mobile router for $60 a month. That's working out better for us. Ping around 15ms which works for gaming too.

      • @FerreroRocher - is Arctel good in terms of speed/ latency?

        • +1

          I don't know. I will be churning to them later to give them a go. If they're horrible I will go elsewhere for NBN 2000.

    • Is the old side? New side of WWP should be FTTP NBN

  • Been out of the isp game for a little while, the last time I was in, Aussiebb was at the top.

    How does launtel and leaptel compare these days? Need to be off cgnat with the ability to unblock ports

    Also anyone else can share how their nbn speed upgrade experience is going, my upload speeds been changed but my down speed is still the old speed. Just odd, I'd thought if and when it was going to be changed it's a one off change.

    • +2

      Launtel use GSL for international transit and SL for domestic. ABB use their own infrastructure for domestic and various cable systems for international. GSL is apparently "better" for international transit according to the research I have done.

      • Ok so who uses GSL at the moment. Other than Launtel or Leaptel?? What about Superloop and Exetel?

        • GSL: Leaptel, Launtel and Neptune Internet.

    • All three have good performance. Leaptel is better value. Launtel and Aussie BB usually costs more.

      Leaptel and Aussie BB allow you to turn off CG-NAT for $0.

      Launtel let you turn off CG-NAT by using a Static IP.

      There’s a 15c a day charge for a real world routable IP that if you pause, may change. The other option is a $100 deposit that will give you a full static IP that won’t change through pauses and unpauses and is entirely refundable once you no longer need it.

      Funny how things change, leaptel and others are the new Aussie broadband.
      Leaptel is good, been with them for a while and local support is above average.

    "Australian support"….I think I've had to contact support twice since I started using dial-up in '92, but I guess some people like paying a premium for it.

    • +1

      I think it’s kinda like insurance. When the NBN gods smite you down, you’ll be thankful for it.

    • It's not just Aussie support. Leaptel has a good local/international network with low latency.

  • $99 a month isn’t great for 1000/100 considering it was the 1000/50 which was regularly at around $85-89 for the promo period with various ISP’s.
    Also isn’t $10 for a static IP a lot?

    • +1

      1000/100 $99/m is good for 12 months. $85-$89/m deals are usually for 6 months.

      $5-$10/m for an optional Static IPv4 is normal.
