Smoky bacon FTW !!!

Post Sept uplift Neptunes on-going price for a 1 gig plan is $119 which includes a static IP. LeapTel is $114 on-going but a static IP will…

What would you recommend instead?

Thanks for the reply, definitely something to be aware of if you plan on using the feature.

Unless things have changed AB do the pro rata refund thingo. edit: Yep they do…

a la Launtel ?? Hi Murry, If I drop from my 1000/100 connection (looking post Sept on this one) down to 25/10 while I go away on holidays,…

Take your number with you and move the phone over to a 3rd party VoIP provider - gives you freedom to move about at the drop of a hat if…

Would that impact on messages sent through either iMessage or Android RCS ?? Snapchat / Discord does most of the heavy lifting these days…

What's it like though when it works and you don't need support?

lol, yeah absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to 'speed boost' the end result is completely different.

Actually it is, for a $1 a day you can boost to 1000/50 on the new $80 plan, they call it Warp Speed. Will be interesting to see if it goes…

Can personally vouch for these, actually managed to sleep which I rarely do otherwise on a long haul trip.…

Existing Exetel customers have to give 30 days notice but this is no longer a requirement for 'new' customers. You can cancel anytime but…

Can't edit my initial post but it's actually unclear at this stage whether the upload on boost will be 50 or 100.

All good :-) I did my 12 month FTTP upgrade with Launtel, I agree they are good. Got to admit honestly as well that my subsequent time with…

Would be nice to have it confirmed for anyone considering a change now.

Interesting that the Exetel $1 boosts are only to 1000/50 and not 1000/100 in line with the NBN speed tier boost. As this can all get a bit…

@orbz Found applicable WP posts: Question asked: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3kpyvxx1?p=2#r23 Reps reply:…

For $99 you could be getting 1000/50 with Buddy Telco, $104 if you want a static ip. https://www.buddytelco.com.au/

The question was asked on WP and advise from Exetel Rep was a boost to 1000/100 - sorry, can't find the post now.

Disappointing if they don't boost to 500/50, still $65 for 12 months on 100/20 is pretty good.

Have a look at Southern Phone as well, they are doing 100/20 for $65 per month for 12 months - presumably this will be boosted to 500/50 in…

CGNAT is the default for many internet service providers these days, if as a general rule CGNAT stopped webpages from loading it obviously…

I came over to Exetel from Leaptel when my discounted period ended, haven't noticed any difference in the quality of the connection tbh, I…

Be aware that the Exetel One plan has CGNAT IPv4 and a public facing IPv6, you can't opt out of CGNAT either.

@OP, were you at any point in the washing machines lifetime able to purchase an 'extended' warranty from Bosch? If so then as far as ACL is…

Yeah, the longevity of the hinges on the XM5 model is my concern too, my XM3's are a number of years old now and show no signs of wear. My…

Only way to know for sure is to try it. Buy a cheap sim off eBay that uses the Vodafone network and test it out. FWIW, I used a Vodafone…

Do you think the Vodafone network has some sort of a personal vendetta against you and your phone? Could your phone be the issue perhaps?

I made an error above on an earlier post but can't correct it now, I actually own and use a Pixel 7, not a Pixel 6. IMHO, besides the…
