        Telstra's website is the most obtuse ever when trying to compare ISPs.

        "Home Broadband" apparently means ADSL2+, but it doesn't say that. If you go look at their NBN plans, they don't list speeds. Trying to find shaping rates is an exercise in futility.

        They have the most customer-hostile website for new users. It's one of the reasons I've always disregarded them when comparing ISPs. They just make it too hard to drill-down into the plan details.

        Why do you say this isn't for NBN, when I follow the link it has a big "works on nbn" logo.

    Cheaper than usual, but Telstra broadband is very rarely a genuine bargain. TPG have a similar deal with unlimited data for $88.
    And if you want an NBN plan, Telstra's "deals" are more expensive than pretty much everyone.

          Of course you do! If you could blag it for $10 more it'd be good.
          Although in reality you never get close to those speeds for outside Oz, so the 50Mbs speed pack is all you probably need. If you can get it for $5/mth then I wouldn't think twice

          I think your success is a combination of who you get, what their day has been like and how well you are at negotiating and how you come across. As cliche as it sounds go in with the mindset that you're gonna get what you want. Have a strategy. Are you a struggling student where every penny counts? Are you still umming and ahhing different competitors. Pick a method and roll with it… Usually cutting to the chase with 'I want this and you're going to waive the fee' is going to give you resistance because you've built no rapport with the person on the other end.

          @Mittervi: I did, for 32 years, and I can tell you what the cost to install a "standard" telephone service in remote Australia used to cost, both for Telstra and for the Customer. I can also tell you what sort of service rural and remote customers put up with, having been a manager, a technician and a customer living in both rural and remote areas during those times.

          Privitisation in the name of "competition" did what it had to do - reduce prices - but it also meant that those people that already had a "less than city" service went further behind. I can also tell you that during my time before privitisation, the sole shareholder, the Federal Government, ensured that Telstra had a charter to provide a standard PSTN line to everyone no matter where they lived at a reasonable cost, regardless of what it cost the company. That all changed and now if you live in a rural or remote area, you put up with whatever you can get at whatever cost the provider wants to rip you off for.

          I still believe that Telstra provides the best coverage in Australia and for that reason I wouldn't use anyone else. But when it comes to anyone outside the cities (and even inside some towns) the options of such things as "high speed broadband" or even a reasonable data quota at a fair price, those people have little or no choice and pay through the nose. If you think you are hard done by because you are paying $60 for 100Gb per month and running at 3Mb/s, come and live outside the city and see how you feel.

          As for the other providers, compared to Telstra they are only skimming the cream off the top and not really doing anything that could prove to be unprofitable.

          In case you think I'm complaining, I'm not. I choose to live in the country because after 32 years working for Telstra, I was made redundant because people on radio and satellite services were no longer going to get the specialist attention they needed. It's a "lifestyle" thing for me and I'll put up with the 8Gb/month at $60, running at 1.5Mb/s (if I'm lucky, it's not a long weekend and the high gain antenna I installed is still pointing to the "town" mobile base some 11 kilometres away) Not everyone lives in the city and most not by choice. Someone has to be the primary producers otherwise we would all be eating Chinese food. (I like Chinese food by the way :)

          So, gasman70, your comment about "good quality" is very valid and Mittervi, are you aware of the costs associated with installing a standard telephone service in Remote Australia? If you are, then perhaps you should quantify your "shush" or keep that sort of comment to yourself.

        Which is only partially relevant. Something like 85% of the population are in coastal or built up regions and yet the Internet in those concentrated regions often sucks too.

      BT was more willing to open up its network to competition & they have strong regulator in Oftel.

      I don't buy the land mass argument as we've got quite densely populated coastal regions. There's been an oversupply of fibre installed since the 90's.

      Our remoteness is probably a big factor as there's not a lot of international capacity which is controlled by a few. In Europe & the Nth America there's lots of backbone providers increasing competition.

      I remember being in remote China (near Tibet) over 10yrs ago & seeing China Telecom offering unlimited 100Mb internet for around $50/mth.

      Internet is expensive and crap here because of successive Liberal government's abject failures in communications policy in the name of competition and free market ideology.

      John Howard presided over the privatisation of Telstra, which was an incredibly stupid move that enabled a virtual monopoly on fixed line communications. Since then, they've have effectively milked the corporation for all of its profits while allowing the nation's networks to fall into obsolete disrepair.

      The NBN was designed specifically to address these problems, but Abbott and Turnbull hijacked it for short-term political motives, which leaves most of the nation on crappy copper networks and a cluster-fudge of other rubbish technologies.

      So there you have it. Blame the Prime Minister - he's the w*anker who stole your internetz.

      PS: Turnbull and his cronies are now talking about selling off the NBN in a few years time and starting this crazy cycle all over again.

    Does anybody know what happens if you're within the 24mth ADSL contract period when your area transitions to NBN?

      Not sure how it'll work for NBN but in my experience with their ADSL you can upgrade the plans when a better deal comes along.

      For Telstra (not sure about other providers), you can transition over to any in-market NBN plan without having to incur any cancellation charges.

      edit: you'll be re-contracted to a new 24 month though.

        Ouch…thanks for the heads-up!

        really? I thought you transitioned over kept Telstra as your provider for the remainder of your contract. That sucks.

        • funkydan2 on 29/03/2016 - 11:45

          I was told the same thing when upgrading to NBN in store a few weeks back. It wasn't what I expected, but makes sense since I didn't pay a connection fee (unless you include $12 to have a standing phone cable and two little booklets posted out labelled 'NBN Conversion Kit').

          sorry guys for the confusion.

          I've just spoken to someone from Telstra again.

          Still in contract - you will retain your current contract end date.
          out of contract - re-contracted to new 24 month ( I think this is where i got confused)

          @tecnica: No apologise needed, thanks for clearing it up!
          Telstra does seem to love to complicate & confusing people - it must be their Govt background.

        • StewBalls on 29/03/2016 - 14:40

          @tecnica: That sounds better, cheers.

      • T-man on 29/03/2016 - 12:45

        For example, I am on Telstra now and still have 15 months remaining. If I sign a contract with TPG when NBN is available at my area, I have to sign another 24 months? And don't have to pay for any cancellation chanrges from Telstra? Thanks.

        • tecnica on 29/03/2016 - 13:52

          It's only for Telstra, you will have to pay cancellation fee if you are moving away from Telstra. When I said in-market plan, what I really meant was a Telstra in-market plan. :)

        • T-man on 29/03/2016 - 13:58

          @tecnica:

          ah I understand now, thanks. It's a good time to negotiate with them then. In the email I received from Telstra:

          Your 24 month contract could overlap with the rollout of the NBN. If you wish to transfer to the NBN with Telstra, please contact us. If you don’t wish to transfer to the NBN we’ll continue to provide your service up until the date on which we’re required to disconnect it as part of the migration to the NBN, when we’ll cancel your service and your access to existing networks. No ETC will be charged in these circumstances.

          I don't know when they are required to disconnect because at that time they won't charge me the cancellation fee.

  • IsTops on 29/03/2016 - 09:53

    Once it becomes unlimited, then it's a big deal

  • Axelstrife on 29/03/2016 - 09:54

    Im good paying $60 a month for unlimited NBN, telstra is an absolute rip off and not worth the premium you pay for them.

    • mr_vino89 on 29/03/2016 - 10:06

      Not everyone have access to NBN yet… but yes, there are more reliable companies than Telstra.

      • Axelstrife on 29/03/2016 - 10:14

        8 months ago i moved from a house with adsl2+ which i was with iprimus for 2 years for $60 a month unlimited data $10 more for unlimited calls
        was terrible speeds but still wouldn't pay telstra more for the same speeds lol.

        • cheesecactus on 29/03/2016 - 12:55

          But if you can get cable, this is a great deal

        • Axelstrife on 29/03/2016 - 14:41

          @cheesecactus:Cable can get really good download speeds even higher than NBN.
          shame it's uploads suck.

    • safwanc on 29/03/2016 - 10:35

      which company?

      • Axelstrife on 29/03/2016 - 10:42

        I'm with tpg not a single problem other then planned maintenance which is always on their website.

        • Sidor on 29/03/2016 - 11:28

          Do you realise that when NBN the reability is the same between all providers ? Every provider uses the same cable and same connection

        • Axelstrife on 29/03/2016 - 11:36
          -3

          @Sidor: English must not be your first language.

          NBN is most certainly NOT the same between company's for example i was with iprimus after i moved house and first the first two months it was fine all the speed and low ping that NBN has. then it went down hill fast ping in the afternoon from abut 3 to midnight my ping jumped to 400+ and my download speed but in half.
          they refused to fix it or do anything to help me so i changed to tpg.

          @Sidor: The backbone is still the responsibility of the ISP. The NBN simply provides "last mile connectivity", in other words it connects between the premises and the backbone, where the ISP must take over. Also, ISPs pay for capacity over the NBN, and if they provision insufficient capacity, congestion could result.

          For this reason, each ISP will perform differently, particularly at different times. Google publishes an interactive video streaming quality reports for your area based on YouTube streams.

          Personally, I would suggest only to go with YouTube HD Verified providers, and to keep an eye on the graphs.
