      is that including all phone calls and wifi spots around the country etc? If so its a deal, if its only broadband then you are talking about a different product.

      • Axelstrife on 29/03/2016 - 10:48

        still better value and you can upgrade to the one with calls for like $10 more.
        and unlimited data.

        also i know your trolling so im not going to talk about wifi thing.

    • Xenocaust on 29/03/2016 - 11:22

      This is ADSL, not NBN

    This is a pretty awesome price.

    I thought I was doing well getting 1000gb and line rental for $105.90 a month, with no included calls.

    This deal is $7 cheaper and includes local/mobile calls.

    • Mooncakes on 29/03/2016 - 11:38

      I managed to get this deal for $119 w/ 100/40 speed boost.

      • interfreak on 30/03/2016 - 09:08

        Same, on the NBN as well.

  • razza on 29/03/2016 - 10:13

    Does anyone know what the upload speed is on cable if you have the speed boost?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2016 - 10:15

      Upload speeds are embarrassing.

      I push 110Mbps down and 2.5Mbps up.

      • razza on 29/03/2016 - 10:19

        Oh well that's a deal breaker. No point switching from my unlimited ADSL that syncs at 22mbit…

        • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2016 - 10:21

          You would rather faster upload than pulling 110Mbps down?

        • razza on 29/03/2016 - 10:30
          +1

          @Mittervi: Yeah. I guess it depends how you use it. For Netflix/youtube etc 22mbit is heaps don't really download anything else. For syncing backups/photos to the cloud 1mbit is painful.

        • nafe on 29/03/2016 - 12:33
          +1

          @Mittervi:

          I'd love to be able to get a 10Mbps upload speed. 2Mbps on cable is a joke.
          What use is having cloud/online backup systems if it takes forever to upload your stuff?

        • Deviner on 29/03/2016 - 16:26

          Syncs at 22mbit … but that's going to be your download sync speed @ 22mbit and not your upload sync speed… ?

          With a sync speed of 22mbit, I'd be very surprised if you had an upload sync of anything higher than 4 or 5mbit…. which is not that much better than Mittervi's 2.5mbit figure.

          I'd take his extra +80mbit download and -3mbit less upload everyday of the week.

      • cheesecactus on 29/03/2016 - 12:58

        yep, same, 110/2.5 is what i get

  • ronnknee on 29/03/2016 - 10:16
    +2

    Well normally internet is bloody expensive on Telstra. $99 seems more like a realistic price. Still can't really compete with Optus, considering that I'm on Unlimited Internet + Home Phone + International Calls + Fetch TV (which I sold for $200) for $90/month (now it's $95/month I believe).

    • Huntz on 29/03/2016 - 10:39
      +2

      Telstra seems like a better deal than Optus if you are working in the areas that are abundant with Telstra Air + Free Air Gateway + $15 credit for Bigpond movies (should have been Play or Appstore credit) + 3 free top-ups per year + 200GB OneDrive subscription

      Does anyone know if there are further discounts by bundling a mobile phone plan - have a couple with them.

      • ronnknee on 29/03/2016 - 10:45

        Unfortunately most of those features are irrelevant to me.

      • cheesecactus on 29/03/2016 - 12:59

        further discounts by bundling a mobile phone plan

        With optus, yes.

        Telstra, no.

    • PVA on 29/03/2016 - 10:48
      +2

      you can sell the Fetch TV box? but you dont actually own it, I thought it is Optus's.

      • ronnknee on 29/03/2016 - 11:47

        Yea I recall getting the idea from either OzBargain or Whirlpool. I don't think it's owned by Optus but I could be wrong. I sold it to some guy who's already got one in the living room, but also wanted it in his bedroom. Gave him the activation code and there were no problems with setup..

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2016 - 12:12

      Optus have been sneaky & removed the free 13xxxx numbers for new subscribers.
      And the fetchbox, they told me it was an included rental (i.e. they own it).

      • ronnknee on 29/03/2016 - 13:19

        I don't recall seeing anything about that. Most likely they own it until the contract ends ie. 24 months.

  • MrGareth on 29/03/2016 - 10:19

    I already have Telstra broadband - paying around $88 for 500Gb a month. How much luck am I going to have if I try to change to this plan (since I'm not a new user)? I've been out of contract for years though.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2016 - 10:22

      I tried via online chat (However did not put much effort in) and was unsuccessful, would be nice for new customers or customers who are persistent/have time to argue with Telstra.

    • rambao9 on 29/03/2016 - 10:24

      Contact retentions and they will give you probably double data for the same price.

      edit: I've been speaking alot with Telstra the last few weeks and you can probably get an additional $10 off/month without much hassle.
      (Just signed 2 cable plans)

        • MrGareth on 29/03/2016 - 10:37

          They're not budging for me… won't let me switch to the plan. (EDIT: I put in a formal complaint to Telstra about it… it won't do anything, but I'll complain to whoever will listen haha).

        • Heizenberg on 29/03/2016 - 11:18

          @webbiegareth:
          My dad managed to get a similar deal recently where it was 500g +500g for new customers. As an existing customer he tried a few times but eventually i think he asked to be connected to plan cancelations on live chat and they did the deal for him. They even then added the member loyalty discount of $10 a month without asking which was nice

        • rambao9 on 29/03/2016 - 11:52

          @webbiegareth:

          Not live chat, live chat are mostly just sales rep, their department has limited power.

          You need to contact the disconnections/retention team. You don't even need to tell them you're disconnecting, it's just they are the ones with more power to be able to give you a genuine good deal.

        • Jules66 on 29/03/2016 - 12:47

          @bao28: are these 24 month contracts existing customers are signing up to or are disconnections offering double data for customers without re-contracting?

        • MrGareth on 29/03/2016 - 13:31

          @bao28:

          I'm on! I went through to disconnections after arguing with the sales guy, and they are offering me the new plan to stay :)

          Well not the new plan, but the older plan, but with a discount and double data, but it ends up being the same data quota (1000Gb) at the same price ($99) :)

        • atlas on 29/03/2016 - 13:35

          @webbiegareth: Will be interesting to see if anyone can get on to this plan and retain an existing loyalty bonus credit!

        • MrGareth on 29/03/2016 - 14:06

          @atlas:

          I didn't have any existing loyalty bonus credit :) I've been with Telstra for probably a decade now, I seem to just keep going from plan to plan :)

        • rambao9 on 29/03/2016 - 14:33

          @Jules66:

          To contact retentions, you will need to be existing customer unfortunately.

          But the sales reps generally can ask their supervisor to give you a $10/month discount anyway.

        • cytotoxic on 29/03/2016 - 14:45

          @webbiegareth:

          How about the other benefits like included calls and TelstraTV? Did you get that too?

        • khesanh on 01/04/2016 - 10:13

          I was able to get this deal for my parents using the live chat. The first salesperson I talked to offered me $10 off the 500GB plan, then offered me an extra 200GB. I then asked to be transferred to disconnections, and the next rep offered me the deal I wanted. I asked if I'd get the new modem as well, and after checking with her supervisor, she confirmed that I could get it for free (along with the Telstra TV). They also gave me free calls to 13 numbers which was nice.

      So….maybe? idk, probably not.

  • striker5950 on 29/03/2016 - 11:06

    what is the speed in this bundle?

    Cable (base plan)

    Up to 30Mbps

    Up to 1Mbps

    Cable (speed boost)

    Up to 100Mbps

    Up to 2Mbps

    does it come with the speed boost pack?
    if not i rather stay on my current optus unlimitd 90 a month, with free 100mbps pack they added at signup. i know it does not get 100mbps but it gets around 30-40. and the upload speed is not as pathetic as telstra.

      For information on broadband types and the speeds available please visit www.telstra.com/speeds. If you are a Cable or Velocity customer you can purchase a Super Fast Speed Boost for an additional $20 per month. Your bill will show an additional charge each month for your speed upgrade. If you already have a Speed Boost then you will continue to receive your Speed Boost and be charged for it each month unless you cancel it.

    • ATangk on 29/03/2016 - 11:26

      It doesnt come with the speed pack. Multiple users = very slow internet. They used to have the 100mbps pack on the broadband ultimate packs.

        Don't ask for it outright. Ask them about the deal, get them to check your location, then ask if they can waive it if you sign up now. If they still say no, tell them you will think about it. Try another chat.

        I've done this for three ppl now, all successful. One time they said no and I walked away from chat and made a cuppa. Came back and the rep was typing "are you there? I asked my supervisor and we can waive the $59 fee."

        I've been on Telstra Cable for over 4 years, I'm on the 100+mb connection, always have been & it wasn't an "extra" when I signed up.

        I pay $78 p/m for 500gb, hence no up vote as I don't think this deal is good enough.

      yes its 30, idk why the OP keeps pasting the same sentence to every question regarding speed, just tell the people the thing they want to hear, its 30mbps, $20 extra for speed pack so u be paying 120 a month, which is not worth it, id rather stay on my unlimited optus with 100mbps for 90 a month

  • googoogaga on 29/03/2016 - 11:17

    Telstra sucks, the amount of outages I face is a pain in the ass. I get probably 2-3 days every quarter on average;
    http://servicestatus.telstra.com/

    which is hard to deal with when there is a family of 5 depending on having internet everyday.

    Most of the time it is a "schedule maintenance" and occurs either for the whole day or during peak evenings.

    • striker5950 on 31/03/2016 - 20:45

      really? well truth be told i get that with optus too, i think its because of their netflix customers all using the service mostly at night time. hogging down the entire network. even with my speed pack i get constant shit speed at times.
      specially for the last 3 days i have been experiencing constant dropouts and slow speeds.
      last few days after this post was made and after i experienced the bad drop outs i was just thinking of swapping to telstra thinking even the 30mbps would probably be faster than my optus with the speed pack.. but after reading ur comment not sure what to do..

      just done a speed test which is quite pathetic.. down 3mbps, up 0.88, cool speed pack optus

  • Dlite on 29/03/2016 - 11:18

    I signed up to Telstra at the beginning of the year, big mistake. Evening speeds are always below 5mbps and getting slower each week I currently have speedboost and should be close to 100mbps. International peering is the worst i have had with any isp and their single threaded speeds are terrible. For a short period i had both iinet adsl and telstra cable, i am 4.5 kms from the exchange and my max speeds on adsl was around 4mbps. I was getting better single threaded speeds on adsl than on cable. iinet 11 hops to europe, telstra 23 hops to europe. You should read this thread before signing up https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2245961.

    I have also been over billed an extra $600. 4 invoices so far 3 have been wrong. I have spent over 50 hours on the phone had 3 technicians out and in the end they pretty much have said the local network will not get any upgrades until the NBN comes to HFC in my case 18 plus months.

    Telstra has come last in the netflix speedtest results every month since inception.

    I am currently lodging complaints to TIO and ACCC.

    • cheesecactus on 29/03/2016 - 13:03

      I was also on iinet adsl for 10 years, then swapped to telstra cable. From 10mbps to 110mbps was a nice feeling. I will admit iinet seemed more stable. Telstra goes a bit wonky every 3 weeks or so. But i feel the router is partially to blame. Real annoying i cant hook up my old one in bridge mode.

      Telstra needs to sort out their modem/routers.

    • BanannaMan on 29/03/2016 - 15:29

    Telstra is very meh. Support is full of lies and garbage, they have not serviced my downstairs phone port whatsoever and it still suffers from massive packet loss. The upstairs one does not, so I am using it. Service is very average, occasional drops and the router they gave me is absolute trash even if it does have AC WiFi. I went out and bought a $45 ASUS one and it blows their stock standard crap out of the water.

    I'm not a specialist so i won't comment on how good the deal is or not, as i don't need a plethore of services.

    the australian consumer doesn't seem very demanding, the internet offers are so last century (i am aware geographic/infrastructure conditions change things a little)internet quotas in 2016 while other countries are thinking of making internet acces a basic right @@ .

    This is worth it if you require the international connectivity.

    I have only ever managed to get http://v.ifeng.com/live/ to work properly without stuttering on Telstra. Doesn't work well on TPG or Optus. I haven't tried any others, but most of the others are part of the TPG network these days.

    The weird problem with this site is that it usually connects to an Akamai server, but then decides to randomly drop down to the server in Nanjing. At which time your international connectivity really makes a huge difference to whether it continues to stream properly or not.

    2-year contract

    Unlimited local/national calls
    Free Speedboost
    Free Gateway Max modem
    $0 installation
