        Telecube is one of the most respected NBN RSPs for having the MOST CVC (best 'typical evening speeds'). Just remember that it's an average so YMMV.

      • lplau on 14/03/2018 - 07:49
        +2

        LOL If you use the price to gauge how much CVC they are purchasing the you can say the same thing about Aussie Broadband when they have a deal… which pops up every few months.

        Don't knock it until you try it.

        My general rule when recommending NBN to my friends is to choose either telecube or Aussie and NEVER get greedy and go with any company which gives unlimited. It's a shame that everybody blames NBN for bad connectivity or speed but most of the time it's just the ISP is crap.

        • chutibuti on 14/03/2018 - 08:06

          They(relecube) dont buy CVCs from NBN but resellers of RSPs, M2

        • heal on 14/03/2018 - 13:49

          I'm very skeptical that a ISP can be this cheap, purchase enough CVC and make a profit (ie be sustainable).

          "The big problem is that we still don't know how much CVC each retailer is purchasing, so customers are left in the dark about the amount of bandwidth their ISP is really providing at peak times. And that matters."

          "It might look like you're getting a good deal when you switch providers, but that cheap monthly bill means nothing if there's not enough capacity when you go online." Source - c|net article - there is plenty of more information out there about cvc.

          There's a bit of anecdotal evidence here from happy customers. When ISP's generally don't advertise how much CVC they purchase, anecdotal evidence is important when determining whether you're selecting a quality ISP. Price has to come into it. If it's too good to be true (eg too cheap) then it's probably not a deal. I'm happy with Aussie Broadband and others here are happy with Telecube. I know I am paying more for my service. If I wasn't happy with my current ISP, then a change would definitely be on the cards and because of the $25 rebate in the second month, this is not a bad deal. It's just not for me.

          I agree re the unlimited comment, I would never go unlimited as it gets clogged by people doing massive downloads.

    • iDroid on 14/03/2018 - 10:16

      I've been with Telecube since Feb 2017 - EXCELLENT ISP.

      They do not offer "unlimited" internet so they do not suffer with chronic CVC congestion issues like many ISPs

      This is my current speed test http://www.speedtest.net/result/7137493874.png

      My speed always seems the same. I have seen it down as low as 70mbps in some peak times, but heck, I'm happy with that.

      price reflects that.

          I wouldn't have expected that but interesting.

          I moved my parents' FTTP from ABB to TC and moved back after 3 weeks due to very frequent dropouts and quite a few "maintenance" outages compared with abb. Rock solid and no drop outs with abb though.

          Parents watch international streams via an android box and find the abb experience better / more responsive.

          Telstra seems to have bad links to gaming servers, Which is what i was using them for.

          I was with Aussie BB for 2 months and had 2 drops outs. ( only reason i left was i felt the old double data was bait and switch, with the price hike)

          I been with Telecube now for 3 months and had 2 dropouts.

          I have FTTP and noticed that Node had the best speeds, with Aussie BB and Telecube about the same ( Still 90+/30+) for my area.

          Telstra TG799vac is the best cheap modem if you don't need VoIP.
          Can pick them up for around $30 brand new.
          I use one myself (bridged to a proper router) and it's been excellent at extracting the best possible speed out of my shoddy copper.

          If you do need VoIP, then a TG799vac can be hacked to activate the VoIP ports for non-Telstra providers if you're partial to doing the work. Otherwise I have no suggestions.

        • a744 on 14/03/2018 - 10:51

          @scubacoles:

          Do modems for Telecube need to have VDSL2 ? A lot of supposedly nbn ready modems don't have this, they are only VDSL.

        • ESEMCE on 14/03/2018 - 11:11
          +1

          @a744:
          All NBN FttN/FttB modems require VDSL2
          Modem requirements are specified by NBN, not ISP's, it's only for the rare ISP that uses VLAN tagging (Internode and Telstra being 2 I'm aware of) that need any sort of specialty modem on NBN outside of NBN's specs.

          Don't be fooled by "NBN ready" stickers that were printed back in the good old days when being "NBN ready" required only a WAN port on a router (no modem functionality required).

    Been with telecube for the last 3 weeks and getting consistent speed all day. I had moved from skymesh because my line would drop to 3mb during peak times when usually it's 42mb. And the skymesh response to my support ticket was to go elsewhere ?!?!

    • scrimshaw on 14/03/2018 - 12:33

      As an ex-Skymesh customer, I would say that's an appropriate move to consider :)

      I actually never had any issues with Skymesh, probably due to a mix of luck and being on FTTP but they became less competitive over time.

          @huhuu77: Yeah I know they were the same, but just reading your comment it could easily have been read as you used the (expired) Ozbargain link as it's the same price as the Whirlpool one as you never said when you signed up, only when you were connected, so people may have done that and signed up for a higher price thinking they were still the same.

          I'm actually surprised no one has negged this deal considering it's cheaper elsewhere with the Whirlpool link. I also agree the rep should take down the old page from the previous deal.

        I ported NBN HFC from ABB to Vodafone on Tuesday and the cutover was near instant. Lost connectivity via ABB, immediately got new IP from Voda via DHCP.

        Are there different churn processes between diff RSPs or did I just get really lucky?

        I'd read comments about it taking days so I was pleasantly surprised when mine happened instantly.
