The deal on the website shows a $500 gift card but in store at Good Guys Macgregor QLD, the deal is currently $800. Unsure if store specific and/or Australia wide. Deal does not show on website.

    Whats the ETC? Half the total contract cost?

    • chuneeperformance on 24/09/2020 - 16:21

      Really? Half?

      • diazepam on 25/09/2020 - 02:10

        Yep. But it comes up as a credit check every time so something you might want to consider… I did it too many times and got denied after a few times apparently the credit check gives you a number of plans/phone repayments you can have within a 12 month period. That’s how it was explained to me (I switched to the plan that was month to month, ported out and back in). Loophole has since been closed anyway and paying half is no where near as appealing

            @mr_asstight: Do you still pay the first month plus 594?

            Either way tempting.

            Don't know whether to do that and use the 800 for a series X or to go with telstra all access!

      • royale on 24/09/2020 - 22:10

        Doesn't minimum cost ($1,188) take precedence over ETC? Hence, early termination will cost $1,188 instead of $594 in this case?

        • b3au on 24/09/2020 - 22:12
          +1

          No - that's the minimum if you complete the whole contract.

          Otherwise there would be zero point in cancelling/terminating early if it was the same cost as seeing the contract through….

          • royale on 24/09/2020 - 22:18

            @b3au: Thanks for the confirmation .
            I have always thought that's what the minimum cost was set to do, to ensure ppl either completing their contract, or paid the amount expected by the provider in pricing the plan up.

            • Kritik on 24/09/2020 - 22:52

              @royale: You will notice the exact term is… minimum cost over 12 months. Implying the full period.

      Yes capped then slow to 1.5mbps. say so on the fine print in the photo.

  • [Deactivated] on 24/09/2020 - 16:56

    hardly uses all data throughout the month but that 5G speed is pretty crap for inner west sydney use,sometime only getting 10mb down speed when it says 5G….

    • MrFrugalSpend on 25/09/2020 - 22:36

      Yeah I've been getting at least 50 at any one time and have seen up to 1000mbps in Qld

      • [Deactivated] on 26/09/2020 - 01:49

        That's good to know.

        • MrFrugalSpend on 26/09/2020 - 08:07

          Mind you I haven't checked for a while for the top end speeds - there was no 5G contention when I tested it cause some of my colleagues and I literally got 5G the first week you could, when we were running speed test all the time and being wowed - seeing 450mbps+ on HTC Hub hotspot connection, and 900-1000mbps direct on Samsung Galaxy 5G, but we knew we were fairly close to a tower (not right next to it but approx ~1km)

          but certainly a noticeable improvement over 4G for day to day use for me also but would depend widely on where you spend your time vs 5G coverage.

      Not that I saw. Only this deal.

    • Fancydancer on 24/09/2020 - 21:03

      JB had the $500 GC with $69 plan for a couple of days last week - they'll come up from time to time. 49 plan should get a $200 at some stage I'd imagine.

      • jaredzammit on 25/09/2020 - 15:59

        On the website the $69 plan is only with a $300 gift card. So do they just occasionally have in store deals for higher that are only around for a few days? Looking to pick up this deal soon but guessing I have to be more vigilant.

        • Fancydancer on 25/09/2020 - 16:49

    • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 24/09/2020 - 17:31

      I have 60gb and have never gone anywhere near my cap. I usually use 10-15gb per month.

      With that said, a cursory google search shows that 1080p youtube videos use around 2gb of data per hour, ergo a commuter watching youtube on their way in to and out of work could chew through 100gb fairly quickly.

    • Whisper Quiet on 25/09/2020 - 10:21

        I go buy a Optus 2 sim say the number is 666

        I use the 666 to port to Telstra via JB

        How do I get Telstra to change 666 number to 888 whilst the contract is under 666?

          I went into a Telstra store but I’m sure you could do it over the phone. If you link the new 666 number to your Telstra account which 888 is on and plan 888 is expired just tell them to swap plan 666 onto number 888.

        I do it, I can tell you it’s not a hassle. When I plug my phone into my computer (which I need to do to charge as hotspot drains it quick) it automatically connects the hotspot.

        When I want to watch Netflix on TV I just turn my hotspot on my phone to active prior to turning on the TV and it again connects automatically.

      I’m on a Telstra Ultimate Plan. Older one from two years ago. Unlimited 4G. It’s expensive at $199 a month but it also gives me data almost anywhere in the word which is invaluable in my job. Telstra has since removed included overseas data and now I pretty much can’t get off this plan as I’d need to pay $5 a day for going overseas which I do regularly and for extended periods.

      I do not have broadband at home, I use only 4G which i stream 4K content and play online gaming.

      I live inner west Brisbane and get usually 20 megabytes per second download. In the city, I’ve had nearly 50 megabytes. The ping is also very good.

      I’ve got spotted over two terabytes of data using hotspot this year alone. Never had an issue from Telstra for fair use.

      • spaceflight on 24/09/2020 - 19:44

        I regret not signing up for that plan before they cancelled it for new people.

        • Pelicannn on 24/09/2020 - 20:00

          Yep it's a shame they are gone. As I said, in my job I travel overseas very regularly. Even in times of COVID i am going overseas twice in the next two weeks.

          For me, the 10 gigabytes of data overseas is amazing, especially in countries like Solomon Islands, PNG, even Nauru, places I have been many times before and been thankful for the reception.

          I will not be changing my plan until they bring it back but I guess they realised what it was worth to them by charging their shitty day packages @ $10 a pop ($5 in NZ how generous lol), then $10 per excess gigabyte.

          I am pretty sure if you don't opt with the international day pass you're hit with $3 per megabyte which makes my 10 gigabyte worth as much as $30,000!

          • Nick K on 24/09/2020 - 20:30

              @Nick K: Unfortunately those overseas gigs land me in quarantine every time and I live alone, so let me say it hasn't been easy. I'm on my 11th day of quarantine right now, will get out Saturday, then Thursday when I come back from overseas I have another 14 days. Halfway through that 14 days I go overseas again, and the timer resets, so I'll do about 20 days straight bar the short trip overseas for work which I cannot leave to do anything. I have restrictions in my job just as if I am home quarantining.

      • Jekyll on 24/09/2020 - 23:42

        I'm in the same boat as yourself with the $199 Ultimate plan! Averaging 750GB/month for work and have never had any complaints from Telstra. Even on 4G, if you're based in a decent spot, there's totally no need for 5G. The ping I get with my mobile connection is better than what I get via NBN (FTTB).

        I loved the 10GB/month international data allowance up until COVID-19 came and kicked all my personal and business travel plans in the bag, haha. Still no regrets for sticking with the plan, especially since it looks like Telstra no longer offer any unlimited mobile plans and just throttle the heck out of your connection when you hit the limit.

          Damn son! Most i've done was about 400gb and I was home a lot in that period. I'm impressed!

          Agreed, I had NBN when I lived in Sydney and maybe got 15-25 megabytes per second. 4G like i said, i've had up to 50 megabytes per second.

          (although according to some, thats impossible https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/567585#comment-9334447) So I uploaded some video proof and they never replied. Probably salty cause they pay $80/mo for their NBN100 and can barely load ozb to reply.

          • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 24/09/2020 - 23:54

            @Pelicannn: 50 megabytes per second is insanely fast for 4G.

            • Pelicannn on 25/09/2020 - 00:00

              @WoodYouLikeSomeCash: You're not wrong, that was dead in the CBD of brisbane. In the burb's where i live though, I could get 35 right now if I walk outside. 20-30 anywhere inside my house.
