WHIRLY10

Per Phil Brit on Whirlpool:
The good stuff…
Our new special offer here on Whirlpool is $10 off for the first 6 months on either of our unlimited plans. That means you can sign up to our nbn™ 50 or nbn™ 100 unlimited plans and you’ll only pay $69 or $89, respectively for the first 6 months of the service.

All you have to do is sign up online and use the promo code WHIRLY10 at the checkout to redeem the offer.

The catch…
The offer can only be redeemed via our online signup and cannot be used over the phone. Only new customers are eligible for this offer (so no cancelling and signing up again to get the cheaper price). The code will only work with our unlimited plans and not with any other plans. The offer will be available until the 31st of August 2018 or otherwise stated.

The code will still work with our small business broadband plans and will still work for customers in the pre-order window (up to 3 months before their area’s RFS date).

That’s it…
Yep, that’s it! A new promotion to get our 2018-19 financial year off to a flying start. If you miss entering the promo code or see this offer after you sign up, sorry but no backsies, you've probably chosen to join us because you've already heard about our services.

        They previously offered the switch to unlimited to existing customers. Not sure if it was at this discount or not, but then the next day I got an email saying they made a mistake and I wasn’t eligible because I’m on fixed wireless nbn. Pretty over aussies shit to be fair.

      50/500 is $74 and 100/500 is $85. I think this deal is a better deal and you get unlimited.

      • AustriaBargain on 05/07/2018 - 00:14

        Those 500 plans are pretty expensive. I've been on iinets even more expensive unlimited 100 plan for a while and haven't checked if it's cheaper elsewhere, because it's so fast and reliable I don't want to risk moving from them.

        Are you serious? Its only a better deal if you actually use more than 500GB.
        Otherwise you're paying MORE for something you don't actually use.
        Please explain how that is a "better deal"?

        • resisting the urge on 05/07/2018 - 12:10
          1. zero risk of running out of data
          2. no risk of having to pay for more data
          3. The householders can use what they want, never worry about problems.

          That's why a lot of people like unlimited, not just those that (ab?)use the Internet as a vehicle for entertainment.

          @resisting the urge:

          But if you know your household can use whatever they want and historically it never goes above 200GB for example, then this plan has negative value to you.

          Its suits:
          1. genuine high data users
          2. people that are too lazy to actually look at their usage and select an appropriate quota (the vast amjority of people on unlimited plans).

          Most households legit don't have the slightest clue how much they use, despite those households typically being the lowest users, and they pay for it (literally) by going to these unlimited plans.

        The network does not suck for the majority of ABB customers, if you have issues contact CS. They will not over provision that is a promise from ABB… they will stop sell first.

        • kelza83 on 06/07/2018 - 10:10

          That’s not true! We as a family with four homes connected to the same tower have had nothing but problems with ABB. They are very slow to log reports with nbn and they always say the issue is congestion when others around us in our small community have zero issues.

      The only problem I have is that they do maintenance a lot and it usually goes down around 11:30pm, a bit early!

        • CheaperPlox on 05/07/2018 - 09:34

          Maintenance is only once a month and sometimes you might go a few months without it.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2018 - 09:42

          I get heaps of emails telling me about maintenance. They seem to do it at okay times, but the periods are really long.

          I think what happens is they tell me 2-6am. But what really ends up happening is it shuts off around 11/1130 and doesn't turn back on until the morning. Gets annoying only after a couple times.

          Could just be my area though.

        • kelza83 on 06/07/2018 - 10:15

          The maintenance is all the time when you’re on fixed wireless. That could be more a fault of nbn co than isp however. They slapped up towers that clearly wouldn’t service the entire town claiming only a few would use it then they decommission the old phone lines that ran adsl and then they have issues. The government is bonkers. And now we cheesy mal as our leader we’re all screwed.

        • snoopydoop on 09/07/2018 - 18:26

          Never had any maintenance. They've sent out 4 notifications that the internet will be down for a day (in 2+ weeks time), but it's never actually gone down.

          Had down periods of 5 minutes on 3 occurrences.

    • Chazzozz on 05/07/2018 - 00:08
      +5

      Heh. Seems I touched a sore spot with a badly-worded comment. The 'network' I'm referring to is the nbn in general, mostly because I'm in an area that's surrounded by FTTP and I've been stuck with FTTN on ancient copper lines. I suffer daily dropouts from a couple of minutes up to an hour at a time, almost always during peak periods when I need to use it for work or halfway through a movie/TV show. ABB have been fantastic every time I contact them and go through all their troubleshooting in good order, but as soon as they escalate to nbn…well, the silence can be deafening at times.

      When it's working as intended it's brilliant. I know it's not ABB's fault they have to provide a service over sub-standard infrastructure.

      • Ethernia on 05/07/2018 - 09:14

        If they have escalated it to nbn they will not have been met with silence.

        They would have received a response and you can request the response from ABB.

        • Chazzozz on 05/07/2018 - 11:22
          +1

          I have. The response has inevitably been "More testing required". I've had a stability profile added, more port resets than I can remember, a replacement modem, I'm now on a 3-4 day trial of a new modem setting to see if it prevents the dropouts. I'll be ringing them back tomorrow to find out results. ABB already tell me that the status of my connection is 'risky' (such a charming definition…) so I'm still going through the motions with them.

          I've spoken to my neighbours and they're all having the same problems. One even had a technician out several times simply to get their connection to a semblance of 'working'. The difficulty here is we're all with a different ISP so it's hard to coordinate efforts, but I've been telling everyone to complain to their service provider ever time they have issues in the hope that nbn may recognise a pattern of instability in this specific street.

        • kyerussell on 05/07/2018 - 18:39

          On the other hand, Whirlpool is filled to the brim with peoples accounts of nbn™ failing to fix issues, or their thresholds being ridiculously low.

          What's your association?

        • Ethernia on 05/07/2018 - 20:09

          @Chazzozz: sounds similar to my position though I'm no where near as bad, only really drops out during heavy rain. Well I guess more testing required is better than silence 😉 will come down to if it's above or below the threshold, off the top of my head I can't recall the threshold in regards to drop outs but I'll see what I can find out.

        • Ethernia on 05/07/2018 - 20:17

          @kyerussell: I'm yet to see an issue that meets nbns criteria for being an issue requiring remediation simply being ignored, i have seen issues take a very long time to be fixed and I've seen differing opinions as to what should be considered an issue. I'm sure nbn would love to provide every one with a "super" fast and 100% reliable connection with 100% fix for any issue, but at the end of the day they can't do that as they are working within the constraints and guidelines provided to them, politically, financially and corporate. Could they still do a better job? Absolutely and no doubt they are trying to, they aren't purposefully trying not to fix things

        • superforever on 05/07/2018 - 20:49

          @Ethernia:

          FTTN?

        • Chazzozz on 05/07/2018 - 22:55

          @Ethernia: Thanks for offering. My dropouts happen irrespective of weather so I'm not sure if it's environmental or physical, but I do believe the whole street has some underlying issues. Right now I'm just being patient and waiting to see what the next steps are.

          <soapbox>
          What really irritates me is there are greenfields in town that received new FTTP which works very well; I know people who live in these areas and they're quite happy with their level of service. The fibre cable actually runs so close to my house I can almost smell it, but my street was too far after the rollout - my town was in a Phase 2 area and started connections ~2013 but we only got service this January - and by the time it reached us the decision had long ago been made to go with FTTN wherever existing infrastructure made it possible. It's a shining example of how our government works: announce something awesome that makes the current administration look great and leave it to the successive ones to water it down so it's either affordable or feasible. This is one case where I so wish there had been some follow-through all the way so the nbn could have been just as fantastic as Kevin told us it would be.

      • funkywrench on 05/07/2018 - 10:54

        I had massive dropout issues when I switched to NBN too. It took several visits by an NBN tech to resolve the issue which was frustrating but ABB were fantastic throughout the ordeal and they applied as much pressure as they could to get NBN to sort it out. I shudder to think how long it would've taken to resolve if I'd been with a provider with crap CS.

      • kelza83 on 06/07/2018 - 10:20

        Best advice - tweet it. I did and some radio show host contacted nbn on my behalf then they sent some nbn guru out. Then deafening silence for a while but then they fixed it. There was a two prong issue with mine. Half was the tower and the other half my receiver. But yeah twitter is the answer. ABB also don’t always correctly escalate the issue. Nbn actually told me there was no escalation from ABB which is why I was pulling hair out for 6+ months on 2mbps max downloads. No compo either from ABB after it all. They conveniently didn’t have records because they always used their “congestion” slogan on me. They also told me they would receive my speed tests if I did through the ABB portal. Nope!

        I'm still with Telecube, I simply dropped down my plan from 100 to 50mbit, and it's costing me $65 with 1000TB peak usage with unlimited offpeak. Still a competitive price so I have not bothered leaving.

          Providers had previously lowered the plan as NBNCo Wholesale was offering them twice the bandwidth for the original price to try and get people onto 50mbps plans. I believe the NBNCo wholesale offer to ISPs has ended so they have effectively halved the bandwidth available to every ISP so they had to rise prices of all plans again to compensate.

          The price wasn't the issue for me - it was that the support went so downhill that they were impossible to contact. Being forced to communicate with support via email when your connection is dead just isn't an acceptable solution. I had an outage that took a week to resolve because of this.

    I don't know how good AB is but, $69 for 50/20 and $89 for 100/40 NBN seems pretty average. I get pretty good speeds with Exetel, and their 50/20 unlimited is only $59.99. Just did a speed test, getting 43/19 during peak hour. During the day time, I get full 50/20.

      Same price if it was no lock in contract @ 69bux

      I think you’d be in the minority with good speeds via Exetel.

        Been with them for 12 months. Been pretty good so far(touch wood). Used to be on Telstra cable until the NBN man came and put a NBN sticker over the Telstra logo on the wall plug.

        You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty-handed.

      Only local, as far as the tin can and string stretches.

  • hollykryten on 04/07/2018 - 22:01

    If i wasn't still on a 24 month contract with iiNet NBN i would have taken up this offer.

      So it’s worth a +vote?

    Been on Aussie BB at my last 2 properties. Speeds and customer service is really good.

    Did churn to telecube for a one month period and ended coming back

    Aren't $69/$89 very much the market rates for NBN 50/100?

      Friend, even though the service may be the same price aussue offers a better service when it comes to quality, congestion and customer service than most.

        Ozbargainers eat crap junk food, but all of a sudden care about "quality" for internet. I think I'll just stick with TPG.

          Actually tpg has been rating very good I think was top 3 for the line speed by ACCC. I during night time I am getting around 43mbps for 50nbn.

          You don't want to be seeing your reflection on the TV, smashing creak junk food, while it's buffering
