          I'm talking with an Optus manager in person… I'm not going online and connecting it. I'm dealing with a person who is setting it up for me as an actual 4G connection and passing on, I'd expect, a 4G SIM vs a home wireless SIM, on that plan. I'll be testing it obviously, and if the speeds decrease then I'll be within rights to cancel. Where I live we'll get NBN in about 2020 so I need a decent internet speed without going insane. If you're keen then I'd suggest you talk with someone at the Optus stores directly.

          PS. I should add I already have a 4G mobile broadband service with Optus which is $70pm with 140gb and I get around 60mbps dl speeds (that was when they did a double-up offer, previously it was $70pm for 70GB but on that special it was 140gb, which I think is worthwhile).

          @khomeini:

          Optus store manager deals mainly with the sales part. Majority of trouble shooting they call customer care. Make sure you get it in writing or an email at least for grounds for your cancellation. I'm also with Divitini with this. It is unlikely they'll give you the 4G speeds but rather lock you in on the 12/1. Unless there is an option in the system them to change this config I wouldn't hold my breath.

        • apptrack on 07/08/2018 - 15:40

          @R3XNebular: Optus 4G data only sim's aren't throttled like vivid wireless as they have data limits.

        • R3XNebular on 07/08/2018 - 16:16

          @apptrack:

          That's correct however he mentioned moving to a mobile home broadband and then asking for 4g non throttled speeds which is unlikely.

        • apptrack on 07/08/2018 - 16:18

          @R3XNebular: Oh you're right, yea highly unlikely.

        • khomeini on 07/08/2018 - 16:38

          Thanks for that but I guess I'll find out either way. I'm an IT nerd in general (and qualified sys/network admin) so know a bit around this and have been moving providers (both phone & internet) for many moons at my org. I deal with business managers and not really storefronts so there are workarounds and certain leverages once you know who to talk to. R3X, I have something in writing and pretty certain I'll get what I'm after. I'll reply here to let you all know how it goes :)

          For anyone in the game, I recently got an offer for 1000mb/1GB fibre speeds for ~$799pm!* Now that is crazy - and pretty decent cost wise for a business, here in Aus anyway.(*You must be a qualified not-for-profit)

          @khomeini:

          Mate tell us how you go. I've dealt with optus recently and store managers had no power in resolving my issue nor did customer care over the phone. The only option I had was to lodge a complaint with TIO. Then I received an actual call from "executive optus support" who were able to pull some strings. Keep that writing/email/promise and then make a complaint with TIO might get you what you asked for. Please update us I'm eager to hear the results.

        • khomeini on 10/08/2018 - 09:19

          Bad luck, sounds like a standard telco sales pitch. Telcos in general have bad service, they promise the world but once signed up wash their hands of any issues. Glad your issue was sorted though. I'll keep you posted. Hopefully sign up in the next week or so. If it works it's probably worth it for those of us with crap internet connections at home.

        • khomeini on 20/09/2018 - 18:21

          @R3XNebular: Just confirming that it's all set up and speeds I'm getting are around 85/100m down & 30 up. So I couldn't be happier. For $70pm & 200GB allowed lets see how quickly I go over. Also mines not on contract so I can cancel at any time - just had to pay for 4g modem.

        • R3XNebular on 20/09/2018 - 22:30

          @khomeini:

          Nice was it hard to achieve. If I was living in a non NBN area I'd consider it.
          Can you give tips on how to get it? Family member lives in non NBN area.

        • khomeini on 21/09/2018 - 11:17

          @R3XNebular: Not hard at all but the Optus manager will have to combine a few deals/services together to achieve this outcome. What I would do is talk to a business Optus person (rather than in-store) and then ask them if they can provide what you're after. It may depend on the skill or experience of the person you get (do they want to do something they haven't tried before). Normally the higher business ppl or store owners know the best ways to get the most out of their deals. Good luck.

Would love to go back to Optus but had virtually no reception in my house last time I was with them.

    Just moved from a previous deal I saw on Ozbargain to this. Was previously $30 a month for 12GB, which I signed up for April last year. $6 extra a month for 18GB extra + Optus Sports (doubt I'll ever use Optus Sports though). Beats $10 for an extra 1GB. Then in 12-18 months time I'll sign up to whatever better deal is posted. Probably one of their unlimited but not really unlimited plans by then! :)

    Thanks OP

    Thanks

    • omguleh on 07/08/2018 - 14:10

        Yes, same here. And the chat transcript where I asked the question and she confirmed 15+15GB and the 20% discount.

        BTW, I made the request for me and for my partner in two different chat sessions. The first was quick and she didn't offer anything else while I was waiting.

        The second one took a long time to make the changes and offered other products ("if you buy a second line today I can include additional GB for $15" -Not interested, thank you. "You can include additional GB to share between the two lines for additional $20". -I'm really not interested, thank you. "What about a Samsung galaxy and an additional data plan for just additional $15?" -Nop…

        What an annoying person!

      And as other people have said, several countries have been removed from previous deals. I was going to suggest the upgrade to my father (he's on $40 plan with 7Gb and 300 mins for international calls) but noticed that Philippines has been removed. My parents use the full amount of international calls almost every month and there's no point for them to "upgrade".

      • zrmx on 07/08/2018 - 16:46

        Just realised not many telcos now do unlimited calls to Philippines, but found the following:
        https://www.belong.com.au/mobile/plans

        Belong's $5/mth add-on gives you "Unlimited international calls & text to 36 selected countries"

        The plans are actually quite decent, especially if the user doesn't need all the Optus streaming/add-ons, but just calls/text/internet. You get 15GB of data per month if you opt for their $40 plan, which includes that unlimited international calls already.

        The 36 selected countries are:

        Afghanistan
        Austria
        Bangladesh
        Cambodia

    I would caution anyone against going with Optus. You are going to spend so many hours dealing with a chat bot when they overcharge you or their payment system breaks down. Talking 5+ hours each time. They won't let you talk to a real person.

        so thought, maybe more to it.

        obviously not

        no gives fish, they always sell it. =]

        Two clicks per person. No clicks for any number of people, if you'd just answered his question (which I was also wondering about).

    I already pay 32$ for 100GB. Sold the iPad to bring it down from 52$

    If you have an optus internet connection, you can use this plan to drop it down by $10. Maybe the student code stacks, so then $44 would become $44-10%=$39.60 plus a $10 discount on the broadband. Would love to know if that plan would work.

      I don't think they do internet bundles anymore.

    Hmm so im currently on the $40 - 15GB but dont hit 15GB…
    Moving to the $36 gives me 30GB and a saving of $4 pm… or $48 over the 12 months.

    He said on the phone that after 12 months it goes back to $45 pm but retains 30GB of data.

    So I would need to find a new plan after prior to 9 months after the 12 months of the contract to break even, otherwise there getting me to spend more with pm assumin they don't have a $40pm plan like they do right now, so i'd have to jump to the $35 pm plan but only get 3GB of data… which I would exceed….

    I think this is fishy.

      Risk and reward. Nothing fishy about them honouring a 12mth contract for 12mths or 9mth with an early upgrade

    • insider2 on 07/08/2018 - 19:07

      when i was chatting to them they said the contract ends after 12 months but will pay $36 a month for 24 months

  • ExtraSalt on 07/08/2018 - 19:01

    Thanks mate! Had 4 months left on my 25% off 40 plan for 15gb..upgraded no problem.

    $6 for extra 15gb,lose unmetered Mobile TV.. No problem at all.

      Did they charge you termination fees of the remaining 4 months?

  • penguin286 on 07/08/2018 - 19:44

    RIP went $65 for 40gb 2 months ago. Has anyone ever had luck in upgrading their plan? If only they had a $70 for 50+50gb plan or something so I don't have to pay for my cancellation fee…
