        Australia’s largest provider of NBN satellite services, SkyMesh, has been snapped up by British-based Satellite Solutions Worldwide.

        Yes they sold a year ago but stayed under original management until a few months ago.
        When original management moved on there were quite sudden changes and reputation has taken a beating since then.

So I have temporarily selected this date as connection date. Could you please advise us on how do we select 3 months in advance as it is not allowing me to do so online? Thank you!

          BTW might be an idea to bundle a VoIP phone line sub for a few months. Many people switching over are going to want some kind of landline as the move from ADSL.

      HAHA mods, Just yesterday I was trying to see if I could get around the rules here and get the last deal back to the 1st page again but creating a "duplicate"is against the rules.

      Because ABB is proving itself to be a very outstanding and upstanding company who meets it's customers wants and needs. So I am very glad a way was found to get it back to page one for a day.

        Just to clarify, upon sign up, you stipulate an earliest connection date can only have a maximum 30 days in advance. Can I put a date 3 months ahead, or is this for something else?

        • Store RepAussiebroadband @ Aussie Broadband on 27/07/2017 - 14:34

        Not sure if new place has migrated from adsl to nbn yet (the house has nbn available, not sure if current owners are still on adsl or moved)

        Is it possible to find out of a residence is already on the nbn?

        • bobzor on 27/07/2017 - 19:55

          Sign up and then they will tell you if you need to pay the $300 connection fee or not I think its called 'greenfields'. Have to pay $300 if noone has has NBN running at the property before

    • Pacify on 27/07/2017 - 15:48

      Congestion vs no congestion

      The latter is worth the extra $20 a month. Theres no way that Buzztelco is buying enough CVC to sustain a $60 a month unlimited 100/40

      ABB isn't the cheapest RSP - its one of the best instead.

      • John K on 27/07/2017 - 16:19
        +1

        The latter is $40 extra a month (not $20) if we take the 1000 GB plan. And nowadays, 1000 GB burns out pretty fast when you are watching UHD contents online on Kodi. ABB might be better in terms of pick time congestion however $40 is a big premium.

        • Pacify on 27/07/2017 - 16:23
          +1

          Sure, if you use 4k video a lot, thats true enough. For anyone else, 500gb is fine. I download/stream everything and I've yet to go over 500gb. You can also spend an extra $10 to get unlimited off-peak data, if you are a very heavy downloader.

          Personally, as someone who has used congested NBN, $20-30 is more than worth it to have a connection that doesnt drop to sub adsl speeds during the time 95% of people actually use their computer (5-10pm)

        • rysith on 28/07/2017 - 10:28

          Probably not the best place to ask, John K can you message me about the source repo for these UHD add-ons?

    *FTTN; I get the advertised speeds during quiet times (middle of day etc) and it drops to about half that in the evenings when everyone else is downloading/steaming. But the speed is still respectable even at half.

    My contract is coming up for my current (poor) ADSL2 with Optus. Would anyone recommend that I go with AussieBroadband for ADSL, and then just switch over to the NBN when ready? Or is their ADSL service not considered as good?

          @bobzor bargain:

          You might well have to pay Telstra - they don't make it clear, but they slug you with a cost on the way out.

          Which is a great way of making sure you never come back, but that's Telstra for you.

          @sane: lol haven't heard of that one, but a few charge for bringing it across (there is some extra admin to be done on the back end)

          @bobzor bargain:

          IIRC it was about $8 'port out fee', hidden in the T&Cs.

          It's stupid because it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth as you leave - the very thing that any customer service training tells you to avoid. It's got to cost Telstra more than $8 in ill feeling. I know my view is now "(profanity) telstra".
