As with my TPG post, this post is more suited for existing customers and those currently looking for NBN plans. Obviously each provider has varied pricing with some much cheaper than others, it really depends on your needs and your mileage based on the services available in your area. The main appeal of Aussie Broadband at the moment is their advertised typical evening speeds for an unlimited service. Other things to consider when picking a service provider may include their international routing/backhaul, customer service, price, contractual/setup fees, profitability and longevity of a provider and whether they prioritise/shape certain traffic (net neutrality).

50/20 Unlimited $79
100/40 Unlimited $99

As of post:

Advertised NBN 50 Tier Typical evening speed: 45mbps
Advertised NBN 100 Tier Typical evening speed: 90mbps

Existing customers will be auto-upgraded.

No Lock In Contract
No Excess Data Charges
Australian-based Support
Fast, Easy Setup
Congestion-Free Network
Australian Owned

The two new unlimited plans will sit alongside our more customizable slider plans, where customers can choose flexible data limits up to 900GB. Our former 1 to 3TB plans (100 and 50 speeds) have now been replaced by the cheaper unlimited. Customers on these 1 to 3TB plans will be automatically migrated to the cheaper unlimited plans in the next week or so (or can do it sooner if you schedule your own change).

This does not affect any other existing plans at 900GB or less. Customers can choose to switch if they want, or they can stay on their current plan. Some of the prices of the 50/20 and 100/40 plan sliders have reduced and you will automatically receive this new price from your next billing month.

NBN 50 Tier CIS

NBN 100 Tier CIS

Works quite nicely with the targeted loyalty bonus credit offer

Press Release

Excellent point by Daemonseed666:

Also note, there is a stop-sell on many 'populated' POI's. If this is you, it does not offer unlimited until they are upgraded.

    How is aussie broadband?? I heard that they are one of the best ISPs because they monitor congestions all the time and will purchase more bandwidth if needed. So it will be interesting to see how the unlimited plans affect them.

    I missed out on the telecube offer so I'm currently searching for an NBN ISP

      I've been using their 100/40 plan for about 3 months now and have had no issues at all. I game/youtube/netflix at night while my wife is usually also streaming something at the same time. They aren't the cheapest around but I can't complain about the service quality (I am paying $80 p/m). Then again I haven't tried any other NBN provider because I came over from Telstra cable so maybe someone who has compared a few NBN ISPs can chime in.

        Are you on HFC for your NBN? If so, how have you found your upload speeds? Are you getting 40 or close to it consistently?

          AussieBB have been fantastic thus far. I've been with them for around 6 months, they provide excellent updates during outages, and ample notice for upcoming maintenance and whatnot.

          During peak hours I usually get 90/38 speeds which is fantastic.

        • Corapmafya on 06/04/2018 - 12:14

          Yes, I am on HFC. Upload speeds aren't important to me so I honestly haven't taken much notice when I have done speed tests. I don't remember seeing anything close to 40 upload though.

        ive had a bad experience with their support.
        couldnt download emails from outlook and was trying to get their mail incoming server. it was still giving me authorization information so it wasnt working.

        he guy totally handballed me off to another company and sounded very disinterested.
        probably one of the worst customer service experience moment ive had with anyone.

        i called back and got it resolved with another person. i would say its hit and miss.

          I think you just got a bad customer service rep. That can happen anywhere.

          Personally, I've found their customer service to be excellent. It's up to the standard of Internode during their glory days.

    • FeZZa21 on 06/04/2018 - 10:15

      ABB are top notch. Not only they monitor congestion, they make their CVC usage publicly visible on their website.

      They're now offering unlimited because they feel confident they can maintain congestion free service for their customers. They're not doing it because they're stupid or greedy.

      In fact if a POI is at 80% capacity they won't sign up any new customers until they buy more capacity for it first. That's what I call looking after your service and existing customers above their bottom line/profits.

      • Homr on 06/04/2018 - 10:17

        The question is, are they STILL going to maintain that quality with the new unlimited plans in place? Congestion free unlimited NBN will be pretty hard to do.

          In NBN world bigger is better so go with isp like iiNet as they got volume, with volume comes better price and they have more bandwidths spreading to more customers and hence less congession

          Little guys good for a few years in the initial stage then problems will come

        I don't have inside info on their numbers so I'm not sure I would call it 'confident'. It could also be that they're feeling the heat from all the churns away from them when they raised their prices, and now they've broken the glass and hit the panic button that is Unlimited.

          You don't need exact numbers to make statements like that. For example, I don't have access to Bill Gates' bank statements, but I know that he's rich. There's nothing contradictory about it.

        On 29/3/18 I received this email from ABB:

        "Aussie Broadband is offering a new pre-paid trial as a thank you for being a loyal customer.

        Until 30th April, you have the option of paying your monthly broadband bill upfront to receive a bonus credit on your account:
        If you pay for 6 months upfront, you will receive 1 month of bonus credit on your account
        If you pay for 12 months upfront, you will receive 2 months of bonus credit on your account
        The bonus credit is equivalent to a 16% discount on the cost of your internet bill over the time period you've chosen."

        That plus moving to unlimited screams "CASH FLOW ISSUES" to me. I haven't taken up the pre-paid trial as I think there's a significant risk of loosing my money.

        Watching with some nervousness as this plays out. ABB service has been great since I moved over from a terrible TPG ADSL2+ service.

      They've openly said that they anticipate most users are going to consume about 500 GB on these plans, and they were losing sales because new customers wanted an unlimited option for peace of mind.

      I think they're anticipating the monthly average usage to be about 1 TB per account.

      • blergmonkeys on 06/04/2018 - 10:48

        I was one of those customers. Their previous plans were not competitive so I switched over to Telstra for the $99 unlimited. About the same speed as ABB and I wouldn't have switched had they had this available at the time. Too bad they weren't willing to negotiate for a loyal customer a month back but ah well, it is what it is.

        • tessel on 06/04/2018 - 15:09

          Partly why I also joined Telstra.

        • terrys on 07/04/2018 - 08:47

          Are you able to monitor your usage on Telstra? I came from TPG unlimited. I took on the 500Gb plan. I used 200 one month when I binged on some 4K videos all weekend and Microsoft rolled out two large updates plus I had a few visitors….

      • lostn on 06/04/2018 - 13:07
        -3

        If 'most users' are going to be doing 500GB, they wouldn't need the unlimited plan and should just save money getting a metered plan.

        The way I'm reading it is, they're not doing so well, and now have to go after that customer they never wanted: the leecher. Of course this will impact everyone else's performance also. They'll monitor the situation and if they can't financially continue to expand CVC, they'll do one of two things: leave things be (and have unhappy people leave), or raise prices again to get rid of some people (the leechers mainly) so they can once again maintain evening speeds.

      If you have peak hour congestion Aussie will most likely fix that issue. You can just call them or post on their whirlpool thread and they will look at your exchange and add more space if needed. A lot of the budget isps oversell their service whereas Aussie seem to try to keep a lot of headroom. I've had great service for the few times I've had to call them in 8-9 months.

    • uradox on 06/04/2018 - 15:56

      I'm with them and did pretty well with the FTTN lottery. I get around 86/36 so I can't complain. I've only ever noticed speed drops during peak hour twice since the start of the year and it wasnt the end of the world.

      I've had good experiences with their customer service, though I noted there were quite a few negative reviews about it before I signed up.

      Been using Aussie now since mid December on the 50/20 plan and I am blown away at their service and reliability. We are big downloaders/streamers and have not had one single problem. Did have one outage for 20 min but we then discovered the mother in law pulled the plug on the router for her foot massager. Seriously though, last night at 8.30pm Perth time, I watched Grand Tour in 4k on Amazon prime, whilst using my ipad. One son was watching Netflix in his room and no doubt using his phone/ipad whilst the other was on his laptop. We didnt miss a beat. I decided to take a speed test thru Fast.com and it showed 37/17Mb/s and an hour later, it was 39/18.

      After ADSL2 with iinet, Aussie is a godsend. I am also on HFC and havent bothered going to the 100/40 plan as we intended as what we have is simply unbelievable. Sometimes during middle of the day, we even manage 60/25 even though we should max out at 50/20. Measured the speed on Fast.com and Speedtest with same result. Aussie is a few bucks more but I gladly pay that for the reliability. 4GB file downloads almost go faster than my bank balance at a casino.

          It will depend on how they deal with the heavy downloaders. The tragedy of the commons where shared resources are over used. It only takes a few users on 100Mbps to ruin the performance for everyone at the PoI.

          The bigger impact will be on availability of higher speed plans. Offering unlimited plans makes it more expensive to offer faster speeds. The 250Mbps/3TB plan is $300 compared with 100Mbps/unlimited at $99. From the custom pricing it appears 1TB costs an extra $50 on 150Mbps & 250Mbps speeds.

          If they're smart, the heavy downloaders will be given the flick after maybe just 1 strike/warning. It's not worth hanging on to one customer paying $100 a month ruining the performance for hundreds of other people paying the same price. Piss off one instead of pissing off many.

          It's because they always buy more than enough CVC. They literally sit there watching like hawks, and if a PoI gets congested, they buy more CVC within minutes.

          With the old NBN CVC pricing, doing this on unlimited plans would have sent them bankrupt. With the new price model, it is now viable.

          Labor's CVC pricing was $20/Mbps. Liberal CVC pricing is $8/Mbps.
          $20 * 100Mbps = $2000/Month. $8 * 100Mbps = $800.

          Aussie Broadband has stated that they expect the average "Unlimited" user to use less than 1TB per month, and have based their pricing calculations on this.

          Based on what I know from my work with another ISP, this is conservative. Most "Unlimited" users actually use between 200 and 500MB per month.

          This doesn't surprise me, but many people also boast of using TBs. 1Gbps = 324TB a month and it only takes a few selfish people to run it for everyone.

          The ironic part is that if people accepted a TB quota their performance would jump, faster speeds would be cheaper and those causing the most load on the network would pay more. Instead by purchasing unlimited plans faster speeds become more expensive and LNP are justified in building FTTN because the demand for fast internet isn't there.

I just needed to save money and pretty happy with my choice.

    they have way to many outages in South West Vic for me to use them personally. apart from that there great

      Are you sure the outages have been ABB and not the NBN itself?

    • dazweeja on 06/04/2018 - 10:01

      We've had 5 outages in the last 5 months on Aussie Broadband. All have been NBN maintenance though, not Aussie.

        horsham poi gets shitted on all the time. last week it was out for 2 days for all of south west victorians, they have maintenance (ABB) on average once a month that lasts 6-18hours

        • ianspencer on 08/04/2018 - 19:43

          I'm off Horsham and over 2 years only noticed 3 significant outages and due to shift work someone is using internet nearly 24/7 yeah we just had a major outage and the backup link didn't work either out over 24 hours. both Telstra's fault but not nice. I'm awake and steaming up to 4 am if they had frequent maintenance I would notice it. There are 2 CVC pools I'm on the second so maybe the first one has more maintenance.

    Used it for almost 5 months now. After the nightmare with Belong, this is an excellent service.

    I've been with them for the past 10 months on their 100/40 500GB plan without any issues at all. Speeds have been fantastic (I'm in Glenelg, SA) on HFC.

    I've teamed this move to unlimited on 100/40 with their loyalty bonus, so for $3 per month more I get unlimited instead of 500GB (I usually hit around 400GB).

    Definitely a great ISP and the team there maintain the network perfectly.

    • hedonistic on 06/04/2018 - 11:45

      What sort of speeds are you getting on HFC?

      May I ask how much is your monthly now?

      Im also on their 100/40 500GB plan and thinking to get unlimited instead.

      • Flying Ace on 06/04/2018 - 13:07

        I’m on their 100/40 500gb and pay $85/mth

      • iceborg on 06/04/2018 - 16:00

        I currently pay $80 on their grandfathered plans - will move up to $99 but their loyalty discount will bring it down.

        Usual night time speeds around well above 85/35 - my POI graphs show plenty of space…. Usually have a netflix stream and a game on, or two netflix HD streams without issue.

    Also note, there is a stop-sell on many 'populated' POI's. If this is you, it does not offer unlimited until they are upgraded.

    If impacted, you can check when your upgrade is scheduled: https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/upgradeschedule/

    I have been with them for 4 months. Though there was some problems (drop-out to a level that it's not usable) the tech support was easy to access and definitely tried to help.
    Speed during peak hours is reasonable - around 60 and 80-90 during off peak hours.
    I would recommend them. Better than TPG (when I had ADSL with them)

  • chumlee on 06/04/2018 - 09:53

    I have FTN and getting speeds of 39mbs to 45mbs during peak times.

    ABB may not be the cheapest but I want fast reliable NBN so happy to pay a premium if need be

  • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2018 - 09:54

    Im with them. They own up to outages, support call times are fairly low (although not 24/7), have good referral bonuses, also reward existing customers rather than new only. TBH happy to support them as a customer even if they are slightly more expensive than some others.

      AussieBB is still more expensive than other ISPs so I don’t get how it would.

    • Jamiea on 06/04/2018 - 10:29

      The soccer mum families are too stupid to shop around and just end up going with Telstra.

    I'm with a different provider because reasons, but ABB are the best NBN ISP in my opinion

      Haha same, moved to Mungi because needed unlimited data for Plex and now I'm seriously considering moving back

        Plex is so good. I work for a different ISP so can't beat my staff discount… but ABB are better.

          Thank God Mungi upload speeds are still fantastic at 36mbps so Plex runs smoothly; best thing to happen to me, cancelled my Netflix subscription because of it #linuxiso

    I like aussiebb as they are not congested…. Won't this change their network dramatically?

    • Homr on 06/04/2018 - 10:12
      +6

      That's what I think too. From my whirlpool readings, what made aussieBB great was because they don't have any unlimited plans congesting the network, now that they do…who knows~~~

      • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2018 - 12:33

        What makes them great is their ability to buy CVC within minutes of congestion becoming an issue. Most ISPs wait months.

        That won't change. NBN has dropped their CVC pricing, so doing the same thing on unlimited plans is now viable.

    • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2018 - 10:27
      +3

      Most isps with unlimited plans are congested. They used to say they were better because they don’t offer unlimited plans.

      • Homr on 06/04/2018 - 10:34

        ^^my thoughts exactly

      • Pacify on 06/04/2018 - 14:01

        Its not the unlimited thing itself, its the fact company didn't have enough CVC to support the unlimited plans.

        Whether or not ABB can avoid that is going to be interesting, will ruin their brand if they don't manage it. I don't believe they would do this if they weren't confidant that they can maintain no congestion

    • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2018 - 10:47

      They have done this after NBNCo have released more bandwidth for no extra charge, so they are able to provide more data without hitting congestion. They'll still limit cvc connections to 80% of the total load to avoid having too many people connected to a POI. This should limit the possibility of congestion.
