    Fttp? And what is CGNAT?

      If you don't know then you don't need it

        No consumer "needs" CG-NAT. There's nothing but minor downsides for the consumer.

        ISPs use CG-NAT to conserve and manage the dwindling supply of unique IPv4 addresses - CG-NAT allows them to share a single IP address among several customers.

          I host a homelab which allows me to use Plex or other services remotely. Yes I can use Tailscale or other VPN to bypass CGNAT, but having a dedicated dynamic IP makes things easier. Also makes it easier if you are on private trackers. And lastly, my VPSs have no SSH hardened with the exception of my IP being whitelisted which is a security risk under CGNAT (however small).

            @nottoobright: If you are with Aussie BroadBand, you can call them up and they'll just turn off CGNAT on your account. It won't cost you anything but you won't get a static IP either. You'll just an assigned IP on each router reboot/periodically. You can use Dynamic DNS with that.

          • lychnis on 12/04/2026 - 06:38

            @nottoobright: Going to need to use a VPS with either Headscale or configured as a VPN hub with hub & spoke topology to get a VPN running decently with a device behind CGNAT.

            Sounds like you could manage that, I see a lot of people running tailscale & home media servers that really couldn't.

      Check here to see if you have FTTP or can change from nbn FTTN/FTTC to FTTP.

      Some providers use CG-NAT which works fine for most users. CG-NAT can break remote access to some home security cameras, some home automation products, home server like a Plex server, NAS or if you want to host online P2P games. When you turn off CG-NAT you will be able to use remote access and host online P2P games again.

      If your home security cameras and automation products use a cloud server you will not be affected by CG-NAT.

    FTTP - Fibre To The Premises
    No CGNAT - No CGNAT means your internet connection is using a public, unique IP address, instead of being shared with other users.

      @Carbon Comms - You need to be transparent and state there is a "NBN Service Transfer Fee" of $5.xx charged on your first bill! YOU HAVE NOT addressed this from prev deal. Even though most end up staying due to long term savings…. YOU still need to let people know of this charge to avoid the … wTheck is this $99.22 charge from "telco Payment Se Tiabxxxxx" only to find out its from CC (expecting it to be $85)!

      • Spizz on 12/04/2026 - 11:53

        If its $85 + $5.50 how does it end up at $99.22 even if you have a credit card fee in it?

        • id on 14/04/2026 - 19:14
          +1

          it looks like.. pro rata charge from 25-27th Feb.. then start of billing 28th FEB… But there is an addition NBN Service Transfer Fee of $5.45

          I mean i am Ok with the 5.45 if they tell us upfront.. its just annoying you get a surprise debit notification of an amount you don't expect from vendor Telco Payment Se TIAB 4XXXXXXX. I had to manually investigate it wasn't a scammer.

      You're in Sydney according to your profile, so it should be more or less similar to latency on ABB?

      I'm on Exetel

      Please note that Exetel/Superloop have a (legally?) questionable 30 day cancellation period. Many have managed to get that waived via support chat by ether threatening complaint + TIO complaint, or citing ACCC fee for no service pages.

      Thanks for your feedback. I have been with ABB for years now and I managed to secure a $20 discount during the Black Friday sale (so I wouldn't churn to another provider). However that discount has now lapsed and ABB has been very subtle in ensuring that they take the original $95 for the plan.
