        As I remember ABB requests a 30-day notice for cancellation a year ago. Have they changed the policy?

        • victorheaven on 02/10/2020 - 02:09

          There is no notice required. As long as you port out or cancel before next billing cycle, you will be fine.

      How does the free month compare with Mate's first month? I haven't been able to find anything comparable there myself.

      I usually like to slot a free month in-between whatever 6 month deals are going - did the ABB one back in June, hoping there'll be another come January.

        Agreed. If your nbn has a problem(which is more than likely, as nbn is flawed) this is the provider you want. Theyve been so good that out of respect im not switching providers to take advantage of promos. I reserve that for health insurance though so it all works out in the end

        There's a difference between running a profitable and sustainable enterprise, and being a greedy (profanity). The latter occurs, almost inevitably, when a company is publicly listed because shareholders demand profits that increase year after year, indefinitely, and a surefire way to achieve this (at least in the short term) is to continuously increase the ratio of outputs/prices to inputs/costs, regardless of impacts to quality and customer service.

        Have you even seen their recent media outings with all their advertising, now that wouldn't have been cheap at all. Ad after ad on TV and radio. No wonder why their prices have gone up.

      The NCD is free from NBN.

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 03/09/2020 - 20:26

          I'm not certain but this might tell you. Before I was connected it did mention NCD required which is what your status should be if you can find the NCD

          The ncd is property of the house and nbn. You dont own it. So whoever was there last has misappropriated it. Report it and you should get another one or the previous owner will return it after being contacted by nbn

      I'm with Superloop now on the current deal but just want to say I had the opposite experience to u, had drop outs and ABB kept on pushing NBN to do something even though they kept closing the complaint. Finally after 2 NBN tech visits without resolving the issue they realized the issue was at the pillar and it was solved. But ABB kept on pushing NBN to do something about it, I didn't even have to tell ABB the issue wasn't fixed, they kept on checking on their end and would keep me updated.

      • aka nioh on 03/09/2020 - 21:51

        Same. Superloop half an hour wait times. Told to deal with it. ABB, 20second wait time if not instant. Super helpful and even calls up to check and update. Problem was eventually resolved as ABB kept hounding nbn who were dragging their feet

    • [Deactivated] on 04/09/2020 - 23:22

      SL are nothing to write home about.
      Long wait times, no chat option, no mobile app and 3TB limit is enough for me to stick with ABB.
      Never had a single dropout or downtime (apart from network maintenance).
      Consistent speeds all day everyday (gigabit).

              @qedwards: All depends on your experience. Ive had a bad experience with tpg so i wouldnt touch them with a very long stick. Also love how they advertise on big billboards that their evening speed is 80 on a 100 plan. Like thats something to be proud of. Its 20% less than what it should be

              • Tony-Abbott on 03/09/2020 - 22:55

                @aka nioh: And AB is at 86Mbps, still not 100Mbps.

                  @Tony-Abbott: My point was that you should advertise your strengths not weaknesses. Eg tpg shoulda advertised the price in big letters. Then in tiny writing in the corner barely visible: evening speeds 80.

      exactly why I went with TPG. I can put up with oveaseas call centre. I wouldn't pay $10 extra a month to chat to a local here, when I shouldn't even need to chat to anyone in the first place if all is meant to be working as per the agreement.

      • Tony-Abbott on 03/09/2020 - 20:08

        Exactly

      • End3vour on 03/09/2020 - 21:31

        And ‘put up with’ doesn’t do it justice, wait times are minimal with TPG and they are always extremely friendly and helpful (in case you need them, which is not often).

        And regarding set-up fee, I found that to be negotiable.

      • aka nioh on 04/09/2020 - 09:40

        Its a hard ask as the current nbn is flawed. So yes i agree you shouldnt need to chat to anyone but youd be surprised at what nbn states is working as per agreement, i believe they said 5 dropouts a day on fttn/fttc is normal🤣. Imagine your car manufacturer saying, your car will turn off randomly on the road 5 times a day and warranty doesnt cover it

    • Heybargain on 03/09/2020 - 20:31

      Wtf $109?!? I thought $89 with super loop was steep. And I hate how providers are starting to push the 100/20 now instead of 100/40, especially given people working from home would actually benefit from higher Up speeds. I’m too scared to churn now and lose my current price.

      • richie83 on 04/09/2020 - 14:14

        Not comparing apples with oranges.

        ABB was $99 for 100/40 Unlimited, $89 for 100/20 Unlimited.

        Superloop is $98.95 100/40 Unlimited, $89 for 100/20 Unlimited.

        ABB is now $109 100/40 Unlimited, $99 for 100/20, Superloop remains the same.

        Also, ABB are first to move in the market, guarantee within 12 months you'll see the smaller RSP's like Superloop and Launtel moving their pricing upwards as well. I'm happy to pay $10 more to avoid using Telstra, TPG, etc.

            ABB also have the same promotion, which makes it $99.00 for 100/40 for a new customer.

            • chriise on 07/09/2020 - 18:21

              @richie83: Nah I've been on their plan for over 12 months. First 6 months were $69.95 before going to $89.95. I guess they didn't hike the price for existing customers when they raised their prices to $98.95.

              Edit: ….yet..

              Edit 2: Here is the deal I signed up for, and comment in November with info of the offer going from $69.95 to $79.95 for unlimited 100/40, but confirming they will honour the grandfather pricing. So I guess I'm sticking with Superloop now..!

    • Hahuh on 03/09/2020 - 21:26

      I was with them for like 5 years and only had to use their support a handful of times (when I first got FTTP under Labor and another time when someone disconnected me and they needed to investigate).

      Every single time when a deal like this was posted, I got jealous. If you call them up to negotiate a price they'll tell you "ok goodbye". Very very stubborn and unyielding. I remember how estatic I was when they reduced the prices but then hiked them back up a few months later. It's been a rising trend ever since.

      I finally bit the bullet and took up the Superloop 6 month offer, thinking I would flip flop between the two when Aussie released their 6 month discount offer.

      Come to find they have become extremely greedy. I can't fault the service say for initial growing pains, scheduling and that cisco router debacle but constant price hikes are a hard pull to swallow.

      I hate fanboys with a passion as I am mainly servicea and product agnostic but Aussie has veracious supporters that will put you under the knife for even questioning their overlord that is AussieBB.

      I'm currently enjoying my Superloop connection that's faster, has less latency and less dropouts / scheduled maintenance. Also have 2 referals and am paying $72 for the next 6 months on 100/40 unlimited.

        Dramatic much? I'm on ABB and highly rate their service. I'm not going to knife you for it though.
        There seem to be some individuals who really dislike that others really like ABB. Blindly or not, if the individuals have their own great reason for praising ABB, there's no need to badmouth ABB to balance it down - not you Hahuh, but hashtagbargain. I do intend to shop around once my discount period expires, but until I have a negative experience, my reviews for ABB will remain positive - I don't think that's being a fanboy with intent to knife anyone.

    Now days it seems like some people realise ABB isn’t worth the price.

      Lets see I had a quick look at TPG for my circumstance which is a 50/20 plan. ABB is now $79 a month and no contract. TPG are $69 however you need to sign up for a 18 month contract or pay a $100 setup fee to go uncontracted. ABB are also one of the few ISP's that will credit pro rata costs, that is you won't be charged the remaining days left on your monthly plan. Now I just signed up for Superloop on the 6 week free deal, they don't offer pro-rata credits, if I switch to a different ISP it's also their policy that I have to contact them to cancel the plan, ABB didn't work that way, they automatically ended my plan the day after I switched. ABB are just a much better customer service experience, it's a pity they are also expensive.
