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.

        That's what this plan is so yes.

    • Slurped on 19/09/2019 - 15:44

      • Taegukgi on 19/09/2019 - 18:29
        +2

        About 500 metres. Called their support today and they told me the max I can get on FTTN is 82 mbps.

        Just tested again now and only got 33 mbps.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 19/09/2019 - 20:09

          500 meters is quite far. Do you have NBN before which can compare?

    • utsc on 19/09/2019 - 23:04

      You mean Vodafone NBN 100mbps

  • astroman on 19/09/2019 - 14:42

    How do I know if my house can use the 100mbps connection. I’m on fttn on the 50mbps plan. I get 50 solid on my pc and around 30-40 on wifi, would it be worthwhile upgrading to 100?

    • beatsntoons on 19/09/2019 - 14:50

      You should have received an email from your ISP when you first joined telling you what your line is capable of.
      I did (with iiNet) when I connected my FTTC connection.
      That said, in my new place, I didn't get one when I switched to Aussie so maybe that's just an iiNet thing.

  • Zondor on 19/09/2019 - 14:45

    Part of me wants to hop from plan to plan for bargains. Especially with NBN it's so easy to hop.

        • surfersparadize on 19/09/2019 - 17:46

          Same here. connected with super loop before 3 weeks. still under 1 month free plan. Talked to customer care and as per them can exit any time before 28 and don't have to pay anything. Wondering whether i should switch or not for 100 mbps vs 50 mbps:)

        • kipps on 23/09/2019 - 20:17

          Same here. $70/mth for 50mbps 500GB on HFC. Superloop has been fantastic but convinced I have occasional local HFC NBN congestion.

      Less reliable than the NBN.

  • zztrader on 19/09/2019 - 15:05

    Great to see Vodafone waking up with a BYO Modem offer, its about bloody time.
    Currently with Kogan who are a reseller of Vodafone on the AAPT network which is owned by TPG.
    This does not mean TPG retail uses AAPT it means its a business wholesale network I believe.

    Being on HFC speeds are great with Kogan (94/38 routinely) but evenings do have their moments.
    Not so much Nationally, but specifically international, yet its a trade off I myself am happy to make.

    This is a pretty good price so I think I may jump on seeing that its ok to walk away if one chooses.
    Anybody know exactly when does this expire at all?

    • FatTofu on 19/09/2019 - 16:37

      HFC can be that fast? My area has HFC but I thought it slower than DSL so currently just using 4G

      • zztrader on 19/09/2019 - 16:43
        +5

        Yes it is Fast, much faster than any DSL services.

        Far better than FTTN but not as good as FTTP but depending on your actual modem which is connected to a HFC Arris Modem you can get some speeds into the mid 90's MB as an example I often get 94MB down 38MB up!

    If you're on Vodafone currently you might be able to get a further discount if you "bundle" your plans. I'm currently getting 5% off with 2 connections and if we sign up to NBN it makes it 10% off all connection fees.

            @lawyerz: I was on a 50mbps before. I have tried 100mbps previously and i was getting high 80's. So it is a little slower, but my upload is good.

    • DogGunn on 19/09/2019 - 18:36

      They're the same connection - Kogan Internet is a resold Vodafone NBN product.

      Unless you have mobile phones on Vodafone, in which case you'd get a bundled 5-20% off the Vodafone NBN plan price, I'd probably just stick with Kogan.

      You can upon sign up request them not to action it until a certain date. But it probably isn't a good idea for a couple reasons.

      They may forget cause lol vodafone.
      There may be a better deal at the time when you're ready to sign up. These are the normal offers at the moment.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but if I left after six months, I would need to pay $5 per month for the following 30 months (Wifi hub). That's $150 total which is equivalent to an extra $25 over 6 months. That's $94 a month which is no bargain. I checked with Vodafone and you have to include the wifi hub.

    • DogGunn on 19/09/2019 - 22:04

          Did you call or use livechat? We're just ending our one-month wait on the speed boost after moving to NBN, but couldn't get Telstra to match—the "best" they could do was $90 for unlimited nbn50 + $15 for the speed boost.

        • dvsx on 19/09/2019 - 20:25

          I had the same problem with the wifi hub ticked so I just called up and mentioned it and the sales rep was aware of the deal.

          Had to provide 100 points of ID, they did 2 min credit check and provided payment details and that was that.

          He said the service wouldn't be cut until it was switched over and to then call tech support for the setup details when it does.

          But mine cut off 15 mins later, I logged into the modem, press renew on the internet connection and it got a new IP.

          Speedtest shows provider as vodafone now.

  • elvislj on 19/09/2019 - 22:04

    Can anyone tell me why people here keep asking how the speed goes with Vodafone. I believe they are all just retailers managing your accounts. All the hardware are maintained by nbn contractors.

    I signed up targerine at the end of March for the same discounted deal. So it's about time to move onto another 6months deal

    • DogGunn on 19/09/2019 - 22:08
      +2

      CVC is an issue that impacts connection speeds that is unrelated to things like distance from the node, or congestion on the the NBN network.

      There's a bit of an explanation here:
      https://www.whistleout.com.au/Broadband/News/aussie-broadban…

      While CVC is the main cause of slow speeds during peak, there can be other issues. Not all NBN connections are equal. You will likely get much better performance from some internet providers during peak after moving off Tangerine. There seems to be lots of complaints of congestion during peak times on Whirlpool.

      • elvislj on 19/09/2019 - 23:02

        thanks. so the resellers buy certain amount of bandwidth from nbn to be shared by its customers. cheap retailers might oversell their limited resources.

        my peak speed with tangerine was poor at the beginning but seems improved lately. getting 6M/s on the 100plan.

      Can anyone tell me why people here keep asking how the speed goes with Vodafone. I believe they are all just retailers managing your accounts. All the hardware are maintained by nbn contractors.

      The NBN is basically just the ‘last mile’ infrastructure, everything past the POI is up to the RSP (ie. the actual connection to the internet). Here’s a representation of it that I grabbed from Superloop’s website

      So the choice of RSP makes a massive difference.

      This isn’t the same as a retailer for your power or gas who are literally just the people billing you to supply it.

    Can we schedule the connection 5 months in advance?

    • DogGunn on 19/09/2019 - 22:09

      Why would you want to do that, and not just sign up then?

      • yht on 20/09/2019 - 14:52

        Because I just joined Tangerine and they have been good to me and I still have credit in my account, and will not utilise the speed until next year. Tonpay an extra $10/month for a better speed is a bargain, but if I am not going to use it, it is a waste.

  • elvislj on 20/09/2019 - 00:27

    just tried to sign up but realized the hub is bundled with the plan and we have to pay for the balance if exit early.

    so according to this thread we have to chat with vodafone to remove the hub so the plan is obligation free. But would that lose the $30 cashback by cashrewards?

    • yht on 20/09/2019 - 14:52
