How can they afford to run these plans at a loss yet maintain the network and pay for Aussie based support?

Ruprect commented on Aussie Broadband - Bonus Month of Credit if Pre-Paying 12 Months [Existing Customers from before 18 Aug 2018]
I must be missing something. This is not a bargain. It's simply trying to get people to loan them money with a 8% return. It comes not...

Ruprect replied to  bob19 on [NSW] 30% Electricity Discount on Usage with Alinta Energy @ One Big Switch (Membership Required)
The rates are available but I agree that it is not the discount that matters in terms of it being a bargain, it's the price after discount.

The reality is, you are paying a higher price so they offer new customers a discount.

There is always trade off between price and performance. If you are prepared for this then it is worth a punt.

Good to see a new RSP offering sensible or dare I say, sustainable pricing. The discount just makes it that little bit more attractive.
