Saw a deal posted at my nearest JB Hi Fi.
Deal is also available for the following plans:
Essential
Premium*
Ultimate
Ultrafast
Receive $200 JB HI Fi Gift Card + bonus Ring Battery Video Doorbell.
No lock-in Contract, cancel anytime. Just return the modem before 24 months to avoid a $200 non return fee.
First 6 months $95 and then $113 per month afterwards.
Link for the Doorbell you will receive - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/ring-battery-video-doorbe…
You don’t have to wait till 6 months, you can just cancel after one month is over
Don't get the ring battery fyi, just not good enough quality compared to its peers nor longevity and continuous cost
What is better?
I'm impressed with my Eufy one, does the job and no subscription fees
I like the Google ecosystem of cameras, but it HAS to have a subscription otherwise it's kind of mid.
I've been using my doorbell and camera without a sub for a while now. I feel like I'm just missing out on the continuous recording history?
Tapo or Reolink
Curious if you can just reject the modem so you don't have something to return
Stay for 1 month and churn
Yes I think you can opt out of the modem if signing up in store.
I also got a $100 JB hifi GC in last $1 deal which is a much better deal than this one!
It’s the same deal. They increased the gift card offering because the per month is higher now
Not quite, previous deal is an outlay of $1 for a $100 GC in return, vs this deal of spending $95 for $200 GC…
@Craze: Don't you also get Ring Doorbell ($149) with this deal (plus $200 giftcard) less $95 sign-up cost. So cancel after 1 month, one keeps Ring & Giftcard?

damn, can’t believe that that wasn’t highlighted more or posted as a deal itself :(
I find gold nuggets are always in the comments!!
Yes I signed up to Telstra $1 and didn't get any GC. That was not in the last deal though. It was the year prior maybe where it was $2 for 2 months. I did not signup via JB just did it direct with Telstra that time.
Signed up for a previous deal and was able to decline the modem.
Do they offer static ip?
Nope, but you get dynamic public IPv4 address + a /56 IPv6.
$61.66 per month after the $200
io wonder if they will even want the modem back, the gen 4 seems like a dud
Last time I did that they definitely hit me up for the modem back. Luckily you could print a free mail label and return it that way.
Did they charge you? In my experience, you can just ignore their requests for modem returns and I never got charged.
Did you mean to pay $200 for the modem and that’s why you didn’t return it?
would you not just sign up for one month and then cancel, and just get $100 lol
Yes sign up for a month and then port out towards the end of the first month.
do you have to sign up in store or is there a link?
In-Store Only
Tempted to churn for 1 month just for $200 JB. Winning? Sell the doorbell, decline the modem or just ship it back to Telstra unopened.
Hoping they don't cancel the JB GC but Telstra NBN is separate to the GC so unless Telstra notifies JB when you churn, it should mean "free" $100 JB GC? After paying Telstra the monthly bill.
Yeah, we would benefit from previous like deals info. Would love to churn after a month -2 days.
Do you need to port out of your current NBN plan to sign up for this? Or can you just sign up for it separately? Planning to churn within the first month for the GC.
Sign up via JB instore and it should cancel your existing service. That is for HFC idk FTTP since I don't have it.
ALWAYS best to contact your existing and let them know as their accounts systems won't necessarily know that you have moved. In turn the following month a bill is created.
No ideally I want to keep my existing service, and also sign up for this Telstra deal just to get the gift card and then cancel it within a month.
If signing up for a new service auto cancels your old one then I guess that won't work.
How can you have 2 x NBN plans, as thought NBNco stopped that (using port 2 on box) unless you pay extra?
Anyone know if Telstra needs to input a pppoe password for HFC? Or is it just assigned ip
It's IPOE so not PPPOE.
How hard is Telstra nbn to cancel? Can you do it online?
Can cancel via live chat
Any cancellation fee?
This is nbn, not prepaid service
Ultrafast 1000/100 for $105pm not too bad with this deal.
Cancel after 6 month, I guess
