Vodafone have added BYO option to their NBN plans. Critical Information Summary

Same as the post here but no more modem contract
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/451736

The conditions of the BYO plans appear to be the same.

I couldn’t find any options to sign up online so I signed up by chat.

One thing missing will be the 4G backup option. Not sure if you can utilise that option in BYO if you have a Vodafone Wi-Fi hub from somewhere else.

    Unlimited?
    Regardless, after 6 months doesn't seem anything special.

    Edit: no contract! Bit annoying but 6 months @ $69 not bad workout lock-in

    • taco on 19/09/2019 - 13:36

      Yes, all their plans are unlimited. This is month by month so you can switch providers if you want anytime or change to a cheaper speed after 6 months.

    This is good. Previously the deal was killed by having to use their modem which was like $150 to buy out if you left

    • Borg on 19/09/2019 - 14:19

      Max payout was $180 and that reduces down depending how long you stay with them i.e. its free if you stay with them for 36 months, If you self after 12 months you would pay out $120 and so on. I managed to get them to agree to $0.00 payout as long as I returned the Modem to the store (a one off thing otherwise would
      not have signed up).
      Good to see they now offer BYO however the backup SIM is handy (with the supplied Modem). Will be interested to hear if they offer redundancy SIM on BYO whereby one uses their own 4G Modem.

          They DO NOT offer static IP addresses and the reason is that there is no need as they do not offer landlines. Landline require a statip IP (based on what I was told by Vodafone).

          No they don't require a static IP to have a VoIP service, looks like Vodafone staff are as good as the service.

              @Borg: A static IP address is a networking function/feature, while a landline is a telephone service.

              A "landline" doesn't need a static IP to function while there are many reasons to have a static IP other than a phone service.

    I'm on this, thought it was posted earlier? But yeah, getting around 93mbps on wired and around 85 wireless. Pretty stoked, coming from 2-3mbps ADSL2. And had to wait till end of June this year for NBN!

    • slipperypete on 19/09/2019 - 17:48

      I just want to ask…do you get those speeds when downloading stuff or just on a speed test.

      I get good speeds when using tests but generally only around 5 Mbps for actual downloads

      • TOm77 on 19/09/2019 - 18:33
        +3

        You might be conflating bits and bytes.
        1 byte is 8 bits. If you are downloading things at around 5 megabytes p/s (MBps), that would be around 40 megabits p/s (Mbps).
        Speed tests will usually display in Mbps, where as things like steam downloads will show in MBps.
        Also download speed will depend on numerous other factors out of your control like server location and your ISP routing.

          ahhhh…so my plan is 40 Mbps and not 50 MBps. Now that all makes sense.

          Correct me if I'm wrong but a router is what you need, modems were for dialup/broadband component. The NBN should give you an ethernet port to plug your router directly into the NBN Network.

            @HiredGoon: Those on FTTN still need a modem.

          • Boioioioi on 19/09/2019 - 16:47

            @HiredGoon: Nope. Might depend on the type of NBN you have. I can't comment on them all, but with FTTN which I have, you use the old RJ11 phone cable. Pretty sure I have a modem and router.

          • K1LL3R12 on 20/09/2019 - 12:59

            @HiredGoon: So it's very confusing on the mess they've made of this nbn. For some people you just need a router (those on fibre to the premises, hfc, and I believe fibre to the curb as they supply you with a little network connection device that does it for you) however those on Fibre to the node still need a modem that works specifically with fttn.

            They really made a mess of it when they did all this.

            • Nousernamehere on 20/09/2019 - 15:41

              @K1LL3R12:

              For some people you just need a router (those on fibre to the premises, hfc, and I believe fibre to the curb

              For every access technology apart from FTTN/B, NBN supply the NTD/NCD that then only requires a router.

              It’s basically just a political move to shift some of the cost for FTTN/B onto the end user, thus making it just that little bit cheaper for NBN (and so the government can sprout on about how much faster and cheaper a FTTN/B rollout is comparatively).

              Would have been much better overall to give users a standardised VSDL2+ NCD for FTTN/B, but that would have bumped up the rollout price per premise for it.

    • alvian on 19/09/2019 - 13:54

      You first need to find out the type of technology nbn will connect you to. Different technologies require different hardware and you might not need a modem at all.

    • ozmu on 19/09/2019 - 13:55

              @DogGunn: It's highly unlikely that they'd use their own CVC but Optus backhaul and routing considering they have their own data network for their mobile services.

              Using wholesale backhaul, routing and CVC together is fairly common for small providers (Future Broadband use AAPT IP-Line services) and taken over providers (iiNet and Internode). Using wholesale CVC and some routing is also quite common for smaller/growing providers (Telcoinabox with Telstra, Aussie Broadband with Optus). Aussie Broadband now just use Telstra for backhaul (waveshare) and global routing.

                You may also need to update your information re Aussie Broadband - while they use Telstra for the fibre connects between locations, they no longer use Optus or Telstra Global.

                    @apptrack: You're not completely wrong. They do use Optus in parts, but they avoid the stink that is Optus NBN, which means they manage their own CVC pool, which is basically where Optus often falls flat.

        it's not Optus nbn. Vodafone deals directly with nbn. They may use Optus for backhaul but that's a totally different thing — they lease a certain amount of capacity from Optus on fibre links etc. Totally standard industry practice. That doesn't mean it's Optus nbn.

    • zztrader on 19/09/2019 - 15:07

      No they don't, they buy from AAPT which is TPG's wholesale network.
      I know this because I am with Kogan (a Voda NBN Reseller) and tracing networks shows this.
      Where did you get that info from or what makes you believe they resell Optus?
