Discounted rates available for the first 6 months with Tangerine NBN plans:
Both referrer and referee receive $25 for signing up to NBN offer.
Sorry, not sure if they take order for that long, have to ask sales support.
Anyone know if there is a cooldown period with these guys?
I was with them for 6 months, then did 6 months with ABB.
Would I still qualify for this 6 month promo if I go back?
Thanks
How did they compare to Aussie BB?
Do you torrent?
They were good - honestly couldn't tell the difference in general usage. I am on FTTP in metro Syd
ABB were better in terms of your 2nd q
Same here.. Was with them for 6 months and currently with Aussie - 6 months ending this month. Will give this a try.
BTW, I asked this question to Aussie and they said if I come back after 6 months, I'll be treated as a new customer and will be eligible for that type of promotions :)
Sweet thanks mate
too many NBN providers, How to select which one is better?
Price
Just literally signed up with Kogan after looking for deals this morning and see this one straight afterwards. In comparison though the Kogan silver for $66pm with a free modem and no contract seems like a better deal than the XL for me.
If only I could get NBN….
Honestly… It's still not worth it.
I have had 100/40 with ABB and Kogan with no major issues… When I switched to Tangerine, I just was not able to get more than about 20/20.
I logged speed tests daily and after the first day or two, these were just ignored.
If you have signed up for them and having the same issue, they do have a 14 (30?) day trial period, where you can still cancel and get your money back.
Just note that they won't send you a confirmation of the request, your internet will just be turned off randomly a few days later.
FWIW: ABB has been the best, with Kogan at least acceptable.
I second it. Tangerine is not up to the mark and was plagued with congestion almost every other evening , with speeds down to single digit Mbps, in Parramatta CBD
Singed up with kogan and speeds are ok. ABB was best though.
which NBN type? FTTP, FTTB, FTTC, FTTN, HFC……..
it greatly depends on type.
These NBN plans are just crazy. I don't know what went wrong, but the NBN costs waaay too much and is way too slow for the price. Where did we go wrong Australia?!?!
NBN was never really intended to be cheap, the only way the business case stood up was with a monopoly and higher prices.

Given it is an investment, the NBN has to earn a commercial return and since the costs have blown out, it has to charge retailers like a wounded bull. They, in turn, pass on those costs to you and me.
There is almost no debate now about how to fix the problem. Everyone from ratings agency S&P to the telcos themselves are demanding the Government write down the value of the NBN by around $20 billion.
If it did this, the NBN wouldn't need to charge as much and everyone would be better off.
There's just one problem. Given it represents a loss, that $20 billion write-off would be very much on-budget, which essentially means taxpayers rather than NBN users would foot the bill.
There was nothing wrong with initial FTTP for all but all these governments F#$%ed it.
If they would has started it from cities to regional then it would have been great success and would has sustained for digital equality.
Just look at the cost of your passport application and compare with other countries with similar gdp per capital and you'll get the idea
Imposts on Aussie beer price affects the average punter more
http://www.medianet.com.au/releases/177952/
"Looking at countries we typically compare ourselves with, Aussies pay many times more in beer tax:
18-times more than Germany ($0.12 per litre),
15-times more than Spain ($0.14),
8-times more than the US ($0.28),
6-times more than Canada ($0.37),
around 5-times more than France ($0.47),
almost double that of New Zealand ($1.18);
almost two-fifths more than the UK ($1.37)."
govt should get us tap line for beer instead of water.
not worth risking it with small operators, might be gone next month for all you know. just like mungi and others.
Tangerine are the worst. Terrible speeds especially with multiple connection requests or the use of VPN.
I have FTTP and consistently get 95Mbs/38Mbs with TPG and Superloop. But with Tangerine I was getting as low as 17Mbs/19Mbs.
Even after contacting them, they said they couldn't do anything about it other than inform their upstream provider (iPrimus).
So my advice, stay away!
Moved to Tangerine from ABB as deals expired.
Have been using for the past few months, haven't had any issues with speed.
FTTP 100/40 connection.
Speed test approx 90/35mb.
I do find that some sites are throttled, particularly cloud services. But I also found this to be the case on other ISPs. Using a VPN gives much faster speeds.
what speeds do you get post throttling?
Perfect timing, $20 off promo from ABB is finishing this month. Thanks OP. I signed up and set the activation date to late August when my ABB is cancelled. :)

Anyone know how does Tangerine compared to Superloop? Thanks
I tried to enter my address and it keeps saying I don't have NBN connection although I do have NBN connected last 5 years. So I signed up with Tangerine instead.
how does it compare to myrepublic.
Myrepublic is shite
I have a friend on Tangerine … has shocking congestion. I also highly suspect that they prioritise certain services so that it looks like their services are performing better than they are. Many times I have done speed tests and getting full rate, when an FTP transfer goes shockingly slow at the same time. Very sneaky.
Shocking speeds in Perth during evening, wouldnt recommend at all
Anyone know where else I could get a 100/40 plan at the same price as this elsewhere then? (prefer no lock in contract and BYO modem.)
How to get a referral code?
There is a referral link just below the main post. I’ve sent a PM with it but a quick response is not guaranteed
Was with them for sometime. They throttle pretty much everything. Don't even think about 4K-ing on YouTube or Netflix even with a 100 or 50 plan.
Used to be with Aussie broadband, signed up with them 2 weeks ago, no difference, if anyone needs referral code, pm me.
Sydney Eastern Suburb here. changed from ABB. No difference so far for my use (web browsing, Netflix 1080p, etc). PM me if u need referral code.
Just wanted to know the benefit of referral system here?
Both you and your referral get $25.
AussieBB 6 months expiry in Nov can I set the connect date to Nov?
