SimAus007 replied to bazingaa on 2 Months Free on nbn Plans (50/20 - 100/40), First 6 Months 50% off for Fixed Wireless (New Customers) @ Swoop Broadband
A little expensive after 2 months compared with let's say Superloop. Meh, I'll stay where I am, can't be bothered for 2 months. If their...

I'm glad A-League is on a steaming service that we only have to pay a few bucks a month for (don't care if it's paramount or anyone else)....

Better in what way? I shift between Aussie BB and Superloop, as for performance I find them exactly the same. Perhaps better from a price...

The super high speed plans have also come down a lot in price, so it depends on what technology you're on and what your budget is.

Not if you're on fibre it's the bomb. I get 2.5ms ping and 1000/50 for $119/month. Mobile data will never be a replacement for a fixed wire...

They do. Just like Telstra and Optus, they limit the number of home 5G services on each tower to avoid congestion during peak periods. So...

I have FttP and can get both Optus and TPG/Vodafone 5G, but not Telstra. Although FttP craps over 5G (I'm on 1000/50Mbps 3ms ping)

Do you have another phone to try your SIM card in? This will tell you for certain what is causing the issue (network/SIM or phone).

$64 for 18 months? Wow, ok, that's a great deal. Even standard Game Pass is good value in my opinion.

Ultimately Apple can charge whatever they want, but it's your choice to buy or not buy it. There are plenty of alternatives :)
