          Your question was "you have upload limit?". Since you were replying directly to the ABB rep's statement of unlimited upload for $10/month, I thought it was safe to surmise that you were asking whether or not the upload speed was capped beyond the upload rate you should be getting for the plan you are on.
          The $10/month bolt on is not going to increase your upload speed to match your download speed. It doesn't work that way. What the bolt on means is that your upload speed will be what it already is, but as others have mentioned the data usage will not count towards your quota. Obviously on an unlimited plan it is not applicable, but the ABB rep was responding to someone who was asking about non-unlimited plans.

        • superforever on 27/07/2018 - 20:42

          @noz:

          Thanks

          I should ask whether they have upload data limit because I forgot they have data limited plan.

        Depends on what you want to host, for videos etc Plex or Emby are good choices. You'll also probably want a NAS for storage, but it isn't needed.

        Hi phunky, I run a Plex media server with individual accounts for all my family members, elderly parents etc. Easier to manage and let then watch what they like without too much drama.

  • dealhunt on 27/07/2018 - 11:35

    I wanted to apply for a new connection (ADSL) churning away from (garbage) TPG which relies on (even more garbage) "overloaded" Telstra infrastructure.
    Aussie Broadband was not able to assure me the success of this connection or availability even after providing my full address.
    So I thought I would pay Aussie Broadband $65 for the Family Plan plus $110 connection fees = $175 without any assurance that I would get what I pay for.
    How does this stuff works? I know it isn't Aussie Broadband's fault but I still make an agreement with them. Any suggestion?

    In the mean time I went to Seoul, world class internet, world class mobile network, world class public transport, world class micro banking transactions = Australia is still in the Stone Age!

      We have a lot of geological disadvantages that they don't have. It's hard to compare us to Korea or Japan.

      • dealhunt on 27/07/2018 - 11:49

        Do you mean never jailed politicians?

      • [Deactivated] on 27/07/2018 - 12:11

        Actually it's not due to geological disadvantages. It's due to density almost entirely. North East Asian geology is very hard to build on.

        • lostn on 27/07/2018 - 15:44

          maybe I should have said geographical? I confuse the two.

          Big land, small population = expensive to run cables to serve a small number of people.

          Dense population, small land = infrastructure is much more efficient to build, serves a large number of people, expenditure becomes a very good investment.

          It would cost a lot more money for us to get their broadband speeds than it would cost them. And that's why our broadband sucks compared to other countries.

    Hello Rep,

    It would be great if you could offer some incentives for the existing Aussie Broadband customers.

    You are probably aware that you have a large customer base here and I am sure everybody will appreciate some incentives similar to this offer offered last year.

        It's painful to see how a business doesn't understand that on a saturated market* winning a new customer is overall the same as keeping an existing one.
        Caring only about new signups but giving practically zero care about existing customers is a dumb habit and only benefits sales reps with "new" targets, but not the business, and the customers, overall.

        * We can safely assume that the home internet market is saturated, as in, the overall number of customers aren't increasing more than the population growth. People who wanted to have internet at home, already have internet at home, similar to banking, mobile phone providers, and so on. This isn't quite the case with growing markets like online video and audio streaming, where the overall number of customers is still sharply increasing and creating promotions exclusively for new customers make perfect sense.

      • wildweasel on 27/07/2018 - 13:30
        +1

        One of the chat reps from other service providers told me that the companies(any service provider not just internet) are limited to passing on promotions to existing customers when compared to new customers due to some government act that protects competition. Is this true to your knowledge or is it false information?

        • dealhunt on 27/07/2018 - 13:44

          It's the same for employers getting tax payers' money (stolen money) for employing new staff then they sack the new staff after 1 month and the cycle continues.
          One employer I know he gets $8,000 free money and free of tax for each employee then he sacks the employee and gets another one.
          You see now the majority of internet providers offer a service without a contract which is a misleading statement (and the government does nothing) since you still agree to a contract also you must give one month notice.

    • dealhunt on 27/07/2018 - 11:43

      @Bappy This has already been discussed on Whirlpool, you probably received a bonus when you got the service so now is the turn for new clients :)

        Thanks. I am sure the new clients will also appreciate this when they turn into existing clients :)

        I personally think companies should also give offers to their loyal clients (i.e. who stayed with them for more than 6-12 months)…

        • dealhunt on 27/07/2018 - 11:55
          +1

          Nowadays not even 10+ year loyal customers have any importance (for example Telstra's customers) for a big business which offers a contract without contract let alone a 12 month customer :)

    I am currently with Telecube 25/5 500gb for $45/month and includes voip. Love the free month with ABB, but to continue with the same packages, it's gonna cost me some extra $20+$5 voip a month. I wonder if I can jump back to Telecube after 2 months with ABB with the same charges, hoping Telecube doesn't change the package

    • Zeral on 27/07/2018 - 14:57

      If your not a hardcore binge watcher to international sites or gamer, telecube is fine, 5-10 mins of downtime a day won't affect you.

      But if you're an online gamer or binge watch shows, it'll get annoying when it says your char is still currently logged in and can't log in, sites not working when you want it to, or shows not working or gotta look for other sites cause it started to stutter.

      ABB Im confident to recommend, other than the a 30mins maintenance every week or 2 from 12am-6am, they're solid and everything runs fine whenever you're using it.

      1-2yrs ago they were good, 3 months ago and they're still good. I only left cause of value and how they kinda shoot themselves in the foot with the no contract.

      What is the point if you port over to another ISP and port back for just this deal? You have to pay for the other ISP anyway.

      • noz on 27/07/2018 - 11:55

        You don't need to port over. You could simply disconnect and have no provider.

    I'll be moving to a new place with FTTP/AussieBB available sometime in October, but at the minute, the date is not exactly set.

    Just be aware that their terms & conditions state that you need to provide 30 days notice to cancel the service. So if you were wanting to try the service for one month only, you technically need to give notice as soon as your service is active…

    "Cancellation of Service
    Cancellation of your service must be provided 30 days prior to the required date by calling us on 1300 880 905."

      It's better because TPG are rubbish

      So $10/month cheaper = $120 saving
      1 month free on ABB = $79 saving

      So really just a $41 difference over 12 months to not be on a contract, and to not be with TPG

          A router can't have VDSL2 or PPPoE. I think you are confusing a modem with a router (which can also be bought combined as 1 item).

          It just stays on the same plan you signed up with. You need to change it yourself in their online portal.

    Hey rep, I'm due to get the nbn on 28 September, so I am pretty keen to sign up for this. Do I have to pay some sort of installation fee if it's the first nbn connection ever at my address? And what about if I move house, do I have to pay a fee for that? Thanks.

      Hi moneymoo, there should not be any installation fee, there is a slight chance of a new development fee being passed on by nbn (this would best checked out by our sales team by calling 1300 880 905 - cheers, ABB
