      I wonder if their NBN-ready plans are counted.

      THE NBN ISN’T AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA YET, BUT YOU CAN GET A HEAD START
      Sign up to any of our NBN-ready plans now and we’ll help you switch over once the NBN arrives in your area.

      Mmm, probably not!

        It's just like Telstra to NOT show ("feature") its plan's Speed…

        But why wouldn't the OP fill-in that missing bit of useful data?

      Not sure for this one, but for me it was $15 * Months remaining. Actually would work out cheaper for me to break contract and switch to Internode once NBN gets connected in my area.

    • Utopian on 02/03/2016 - 21:34

      I'm here to find the same.

      Family member needs broadband, decent limits, sharing with housemates… But their lease runs-out in ~6mths, not looking to renew.
      Got 12GB/mth mobile broadband, and it lasts a fortnight before the fights start.

      A situation I'd never find myself in… but it's family, gotta help them.

      • eug on 02/03/2016 - 21:38

          @Utopian:
          Jokes aside, TPG has contract free NBN with an up front setup fee ($100), and $60 every month for unlimited data. I'm on their self-built FTTB and everything works fine running at 93mbps, I don't think NBN can be much worse.

        • Utopian on 03/03/2016 - 16:22

          @clse945111: Thanks for your input. I've hammered 10 different ISPs over the years, on many connection types. TPG are as good/bad as all the others. It's such a tin of worms, anything can happen. And often (usually?) it's the user that creates/hinders a ton of the problems. Family business uses their SHDSL $300/mth 20/20Mbit (8 wire). Absolute First Class.

          It's a very good solution, for a person with limited options. And if it's turd: No contract!

          Thanks-again.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/03/2016 - 11:45

      So ask them to switch. They're usually quite accomodating if u restart ur contract. If not ask for disconnections (i.e. the retensions team). Always be extra polite & friendly and you'll be amazed at what they can offer you.

      • syousef on 02/03/2016 - 12:53

    Wonder if they'll chuck in a speed pack for half price or maybe free. Can't hurt to ask some on whirlpool have had luck on other bundle deals.

    • Diji1 on 02/03/2016 - 09:00
      -6

      Never take a speed pack, it's purely a device to lower the amounnt of value you're getting.

      Make sure you check your speed as it's common practice for Telstra to provision 33Mbit to customers that ordered 100Mbit and cry about a mistake when the customer complains.

      Not that comnplaining will cause them to fix it, only the TIO can do that. Actually don't bother dealing with Telstra, just do the minimum necessary IE. make 1 complaint which should take you 30 seconds and then make a TIO complaint.

      Telstra does not listen to customers and treats them as if they're brain dead (which most of them appear to be to be fair to Telstra - they happily lie back and let Big T sodomise them blatantly rip them off).

      • phoeb on 02/03/2016 - 09:11

        Not sure what you're talking about there is no 33mbit nbn ftth avc. They provision the avc (which determines your speed)from nbn Co which they pay nbn Co for. Different avcs have different wholesale costs.

        You seem to have a bone to pick with Telstra.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/03/2016 - 09:22
          +1

          I think Diji1 was probably referring to the customer only getting 33mbps while on the 100mbps plan (whether it's actually Telstra's fault or not).

        • phoeb on 02/03/2016 - 09:25
          +2

          @clse945111: bit of a misleading comment then - he did say provisioning 33mbit!

        • nocure on 02/03/2016 - 09:26

          Not just telstra, the whole gummint.

      • animal on 02/03/2016 - 10:11

        I also had a bad experience getting the speed pack. Paid $20 and the connection got worse (based on connectivity tests and general usage). Cancelled it and it went back to how it was before and I'm quite happy with it.

        I seem to have a 33 MBit connection too through Telstra Velocity (used in certain estates).

        • eug on 02/03/2016 - 11:18
          +1

          The 100Mbps speed boost worked as expected for me on Telstra Cable. Download speeds are high from CDNs, but "smaller" sites are still just average.

        • animal on 02/03/2016 - 14:04

          @eug: Thanks. That's good to know. It's probably due to the network congestion that is already an issue in our new-ish estate. I wonder if when I got the speed boost, if it pushed me into another shared bandwidth pool that was even more congested. Telstra didn't really answer my questions regarding the issues (in fact a couple of times didn't even call back).

  • [Deactivated] on 02/03/2016 - 08:43
    +3

    Serious question, why do people still opt in for Telstra (which seems to be doing everything they can do slow Australia's progression) when other ISPs are available for NBN who offer better deals as standard? Such as TPG.

    • Chall5 on 02/03/2016 - 08:46
      +5

      I expect for many it's the perception, true or not, that Telstra is more reliable.

      • Smigit on 02/03/2016 - 09:01
        +4

        That and support through other ISPs can be inconsistent. TPG is widely regarded or having poor support where with Telstra while it isn't always great, at least you can walk into a shop front and talk to someone.

        TPG also has uncertainties around congestion in different areas. For many they work fine, for some they don't.

        Also there will be people out there with family bundles or still paying for land lines through Telstra. One bill can be simpler.

        When out NBN goes live within the next three months I'll probably give Skymesh a go given I find my current providers (Internode) plans a bit too expensive for 100/40 and they've turfed most or all unmetered data on new plans.

      • RocketSwitch on 02/03/2016 - 09:08
        +12

        According to Whirlpool, most users on the Telstra NBN network get great speeds.

        This is why people go with Telstra and spend a bit more.

        • phoeb on 02/03/2016 - 09:18
          +4

          This is exactly why. Their interneational connections are typically less congested than other isps particularly tpg and it's resellers. This can be important to gamers, streamers and other heavy users. For your average user it probably doesn't matter therefore best to go with a cheap ISP. I'm considering moving to telstra.

          I recently joined Telstra NBN and have found their service and speeds so much better than Optus. I'm usually getting around 60-80 mbps during the evening and 90 mbps during the day.

    • cristtos on 02/03/2016 - 09:11

      Maybe because the bandwidth available to other NBN providers is rather limited?

    • BanannaMan on 02/03/2016 - 10:19

  • Diji1 on 02/03/2016 - 08:55
    -5

    This is Telstra's normal pricing.

    Not that such a thing exists because their sales process is an endless f*** around designed to wear customers down to taking the worst deal possible using various marketing devices: new customers can expect anything from $150 per month for 200GB to $89.95 for 1TB.

    So this isn't even their best offer, which is why I negged this deal.

  • RocketSwitch on 02/03/2016 - 09:09
    +4

    Hm, might as well go with Skymesh right?

    1.2 TB / 12 TB $119.95 100/40 speed.

    Looks like a better deal.

    But if you want to go with Telstra, $129 for full speed, still probably the second best option for reliability.

    • XeKToReX on 02/03/2016 - 09:40

      • konazz on 02/03/2016 - 10:52

        How does it compare with Internode? Thinking of going across to Skymesh, as there was congestion during school holidays on my Internode 50/20 connection.

        I love having plans that have unlimited Netflix (i.e. sky mesh). My wife was home for 2 days, and we're on an old netflix free zone internode plan… 55GB in 48 hours in Netflix alone.

        • dellbon on 02/03/2016 - 11:47

          Skymesh international speeds are deplorable. First-hand experience. If you do go with them, don't bother with a 100/40 plan as you will be fortunate to reach 25Mbps, single-threaded, internationally. To your local exchange though, you'll see 100/40 speeds no problem. Unfortunately, most internet content is stored a little farther away than that.
