    I was offered 6 months at the time then ran into nothing but issues for the first 6 months but seems to be stable next 6

      The NBN became available just yesterday for me. I wish I were able to take up the 6 months free offer last year.

    Not a fan of Optus NBN:

    Works out to be $61.25 a month.

    You’re locked into 24 months.

    You’re with one of the least performance rated NBN providers.

    You talk to support overseas.

    Here is a provider that guaranties CVC, has local Australian support and does not lock you into a contract:

    Launtel: 50/20Mbps $68 no discount, $62.40 with earlyadopter discount code. Link is in other deals. No contract. 7 day trial. $25 credit on sign up. Codes can be found in the internet deals referrals.

    You can find similar prices from MateNBN for $59-69 for 50Mbps no contract, tangerine telecom, superloop etc

    Don’t sign a contract with a telecom provider for fixed line especially HFC as it’s got a higher fault rate than FTTN atm.

      Not sure about others but month-to-month plan was available with a free modem for me. Min. Total Cost $70 over 1 month including $0 start-up fee

      • checkingthisout on 13/03/2020 - 08:24

        “Min. cost $1,470 over 24mths includes 3 month free nbn™ access offer”

        This is what the deal says. If you get a free modem and 3 months free and no sign up costs. Then it’s worth it.

      • jimboner on 13/03/2020 - 09:00

        I also have month to month option available for $70, $0 sign up cost, free modem, and first 3 months free.

        Pretty much a no-brainer to try out Optus NBN for at least 3 months

        • checkingthisout on 13/03/2020 - 09:17

          Where do people find this deal? Put in their address?

      • paullytaylor on 13/03/2020 - 10:13

        Yep me too although accidentally clicked on the 24 month option, then resubmitted the month to month. Waiting for it to make it’s way through the sausage machine

  • GMJ on 13/03/2020 - 08:58

    I got 3 months free with month to month and a modem/install.

    I was originally paying $60 for cable and they matched that.

    Additionally, they offered me 25% off a new mobile plan when you get a new phone.

  • RR88 on 13/03/2020 - 09:17

    optus NBN is a complete waste of money. avoid at all costs

  • samwyze on 13/03/2020 - 09:17

    They offered me this, but wouldn't match my cable price of $60, so I got a better deal with Aussie Broadband. 50/20, $59/month for six months, no contract. Its been good.

  • ccrap on 13/03/2020 - 09:35

    Oh man. Wish telstra had a migration offer. Delaying the move from cable as long as I can

    • aragornelessar on 13/03/2020 - 10:37

      Ditto! I'm not holding my breath though for Telstra to do anything remotely similar…

  • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2020 - 09:56

    Thanks OP

    migrated for $60/m - matching current cable pricing

    24 months with $0 setup, and 3 months free.

    • BudgetBountyOz on 13/03/2020 - 09:57

      Did you call them up for price match?

      • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2020 - 09:58

        chat.

        hate calling, dont understand them half the time.

        • BudgetBountyOz on 13/03/2020 - 10:01

          I might try as well. I don't think they will offer this month to month though

          Thank you

          • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2020 - 10:21

            @BudgetBountyOz: always got ACL to fall back onto if things not working out.

            i have no issue wiht 24 months, and $60/m is fair.

            • BudgetBountyOz on 13/03/2020 - 12:42

              @[Deactivated]: I cancelled the application and need to wait 24 hrs to sign up. Will try again tomorrow. Thank you!

    • EricWong on 13/03/2020 - 16:03

      I tried just now with online chat but they only offer either $60/month OR 3 months free. Not good enough.
      I am currently on $60/month with free speed boost to 100Mbps!!

      • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2020 - 16:18

        table the facts. 1. You are on 60$/m and thus will change provider if they dont offer what you currently pay 2. Since there if a promo for 24m + 3 mths free and no installation, you would like to take up on that offer.

        Also told him/her my friend has received this offer.

  • Wolfy on 13/03/2020 - 09:56

    We got 6m free, however the congestion is so bad at times it's worse than dial-up, so I wouldn't recommend this to anyo9.

  • Fluid Head on 13/03/2020 - 10:20

    I'm on this same promo. Was an easy cut over to NBN. Had my on personal concierge that looked after everything. Gateway was about 3 weeks late, but that was fine because I was happy with my cable. Had both cable and NBN running concurrently, and didn't switch off my cable until I was happy. Great transition from old into new.

  • nmachine on 13/03/2020 - 10:28

    I pay $60 for unlimited downloads, 100mbps (usually a steady 70mbps) on Optus cable. I never want to switch off it and will resist until they send some poor contractor to my door.

    • c64 on 13/03/2020 - 11:02

      i think they switch your current cable off and instantly it becomes nbn with slower speeds and higher prices :)

      • nmachine on 13/03/2020 - 12:25

        Well they can't "instantly" do it. It's different technologies and cables and I dont have the NBN box installed on my house.

        • Fluid Head on 13/03/2020 - 12:39

          I was in the exact situation. Unfortunately the day will come. You get 18 months to cut over when NBN are in your hood. I was waiting for the 11th hour too, and this 3 months free option came along, so I thought this was the best way to migrate.

          • Twix on 15/03/2020 - 12:06

            @Fluid Head: Optus cable customers only get 3 months to cut over to nbn.

    • Twix on 15/03/2020 - 12:12

      Optus made a deal with nbn to shutdown the cable network in 3 months when your home is nbn ready.

  • coxymla on 13/03/2020 - 11:57

    It's probably worth pointing out that a "free modem" is not very good value on HFC, because NBNco provides the "modem" for free and all you need is a router.

    • BudgetBountyOz on 13/03/2020 - 12:24

      It is Optus AC WiFi Modem they are providing

      • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2020 - 14:42

        Which is a piece of excrement.

        • checkingthisout on 13/03/2020 - 17:04

          That’s not fair. Excrement has many uses. The Optus modem has only one. Paper weight.

    Thanks OP
    Bought and will trial for 3 months - if no good then will churn to ABB/Superloop/<insert OzB favourite>

  • freesteakknives on 14/03/2020 - 11:01

    I was in an area that went through Optus HFC migraton a while ago. There were some stuff ups with equipment deliveries . Complained and ended up get 12 months free. Fibre to the premise service is solid. Customer service is still a shambles. Had a look at the current Optus bundles. I'm getting the $120 bundle plan for $95. Optus fibre modem is OK but given that I had my own ASUS router already (OZB deal) from the cable setup I still use that.

  • PukeyLuke on 14/03/2020 - 22:52

    This is what I was offered about 2 months ago when I was on Optus cable, 3 months free, month to month, landline stays active though you pay for each call though I/we never use the landline. It's a great deal. The download speed has always been above 46mbps according to Ookla speed test no matter what time of day. I am really happy with the NBN at my place.

  • ronnknee on 31/03/2020 - 09:38

    I wonder if there will be a better deal if I wait it out till tomorrow.
