Cheapest gigabit plan according to Gizmodo.

If you’re keen to jump on the highest speed NBN train, Kogan’s NBN 1000 plan is currently on sale for $134.90/month for your first six months. That makes it the cheapest NBN 1000 plan available on the market right now. After that it will go up to $148.90/month.

If you don’t need to go quite that hard, Kogan has also introduced NBN 250 plans to its lineup. At the moment it is offering $116.90/month for your first six months, and $128.90/month thereafter.

    250mbps typical evening speed on the 1000/50 plan is terrible

    • Twix on 18/08/2020 - 16:08

      Remember these plans are "best effort". ISPs have to put a busy period speed on all NBN plans. Aussie BB do the same and most of their results are consistently doing around 940Mbps.

      • Larsson on 18/08/2020 - 19:31

        Aussie BB also says their peak period speeds are 215mbps. I did complain to them once, I was all the way down to 70mbps on a gigabit plan.

        They told me it was due to a popular game pushing an update and congesting their network but even so I wasn’t even getting 80mbps.

        Summary - small provider and gigabit plans are all not so good as they make it seem so.

          COD updates can wreak havoc across all ISPs as the updates are released US morning which is around 4pm here. By the time most turn on their gaming systems it's during our busy period and boom congestion. PS4 is getting better as the update is preloaded.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 18/08/2020 - 16:38

      This is normal:
      Aussie Broadband lists ~215Mbps
      Superloop lists 250Mbps

        That's for Aussie Broadband's 250/25 plan no? I get 900+ with them every time I've checked.

        • Twix on 18/08/2020 - 17:09
          +7

          215Mbps is listed in the Aussie BB CIS until further notice.

          As this is a new plan, we do not have any data to enable calculation of typical download speeds, therefore currently we are suggesting that the typical download speeds during busy hours will be 215Mbps. Please Note: Once we have collated enough data, we will revise this CIS with accurate peak download speeds on our network.

              @JAKEBAB: if I'm still correct, (from a while back), I've read ISP whitelist sites like speedtest.net to ensure they're providing similar or speeds advertised. Then the throttle down to conserve bandwidth. Whether it's true or not, the typical speeds are much better to work with.

              Realistically there's no one real way to test real world broadband speed.

The thing that has been driving me nuts for the past year though and is making me really consider switching at this point is the abysmal COD update speed. That's really my only issue with them though and it's only that game.

                    As for ping no I haven't seen any difference though the only online ping dependant game I play is COD so my experience is pretty limited.

        44-49Mbps but typical upload speed are not measured. To get the best upload speed you need a router that can set an upload limit to avoid hitting the NBN policer.

          +3

          HFC is very susceptible to local congestion because a street/area is sharing a single fibre endpoint via the coaxial. So sure you might be getting good speeds atm, but that can all change at any point if your neighbours change.

          Also, the reliability can also change at any point as the coaxial ages.

          HFC is a lottery that everyone will eventually lose.

    • ryang on 18/08/2020 - 16:29

      Aussie's POI checker is usually pretty good;

      • TThomas on 18/08/2020 - 16:36

    • TThomas on 19/08/2020 - 14:32
      +7

      Update to this saga… Kogan will tell you on their website that you are eligible for the 250/20 service, send you an email about stating they are signing you up to the 250/20 however if they cannot connect you to it, they will just sign you up to their 100/20, port you over from your previous provider and not notify you.

      When you then contact them they have no idea that you originally signed up to 250/20 so they offer to just disconnect you or you can continue to pay for the 100/20.

      So a negative on this deal from me now.

          Unless you're massively streaming and uploading 4k data. 3TB is huge. I live in a house of 5 people and we all use it consistently with Netflix, YouTube average about 5 hrs of streaming from about 5 devices a day. We use about 800GB a month 3 TB a month is more than enough. Even if we download an extra 20 PlayStation games it still wouldn't use up 3 TB.

        • [Deactivated] on 18/08/2020 - 18:31

          Most backend providers charge for bandwidth not data caps. 3TB is just mean they can cheap out on bandwidth expecting people limit their usages.

          IMO, they should be pricing their stuff around bandwidth to consumers instead of datacaps but this probs hurts their profits.
