Was just in store signing up to the $69 Telstra Plan with $500 gift card deal when I happened to ask if they had any NBN deals on the go.

Scored an extra $200 Gift Card for switching over my NBN connection to the Telstra month-month plan and got the same deal currently on Telstra’s site ($0 install, $10 off for 12mths).

The deal is on both the $90 and $110 Telstra NBN bundles (bringing the monthly cost down to $80 and $100 respectively).
Deal is also available directly through Telstra (with Telstra Plus Points… not sure if the JB plan will come with these or not but I'd prefer the $200 GC anyway): https://www.telstra.com.au/internet/nbn

$90 plan (down to $80) is NBN 50 Standard Plus
$110 plan (down to $100) is NBN 100 Premium

Not sure the exact end date but it looked like 29/09 when he pulled up their internal offers page.

        It's worthwhile if you would spend $200 at JB hifi anyway. Also not totally sure it's accurate because on some pages Telstra say 24 months, others they say 12 months, would want to confirm that.
        
        edit: Looks like 24 month plan, $10 discount is for 12 months of that. Not really a deal at all unless you want Telstra NBN to lease the new xbox or something.

      It'll cost more than that, because you have to factor in paying for the cost of the modem if you cancel before 24-months.

        tessel on 28/09/2020 - 17:03
        
        @Turd: Allow me :)
        Launtel, cheapest I can get is $3.50 per day which is for 25 or 50 Mbit, so we'll obviously go with 50 Mbit. $3.50 x 30 days = $105 a month.
        Telstra, 50Mbit deal I currently pay $90 a month.
        
        So, Launtel actually costs me more for a network, especially international, that is not as good quality. Oh, yes, I can stop/start on a daily basis and raise or lower my speed, which I really can't due to it only costing me more and I can only get 50Mbit on this line. I also won't stop start as I use the net daily. So, yes, Launtel costs more than Telstra for me.

$10/month off promo also available on the Tesltra website:

… also 40,000 Telstra Plus points on the 100M plan.
No contract if you have a Telstra NBN modem, otherwise can cancel anytime & just pay back the hardware I beleive.
- MitchyD1989 on 28/09/2020 - 15:33
  
  40000 points would be nice but I have FTTC and they don't offer 100mb/s plans on that anymore. I understand them removing the option from FTTN connections, the technology is crap and I don't know anyone who actually gets the speeds they pay for on FTTN lol. But removing it from FTTC is strange as it's generally more than capable - been with Aussie BB ever since we got NBN here about a year ago, and my speed has never been below 90.
  
  Shame too because this offer makes Telstra a better deal given ABB is about to start charging me $110 per month instead of $100 to keep my 100/40 connection. I'd be happy to jump ship to Telstra if they actually let me pay for the speeds I already know my connection is capable of lol.
  - lonewolf on 28/09/2020 - 16:48
    
    They should allow it on FTTN also as long as the people are happy with it. I have a FTTN and a FTTC connection (my house and my parents), both with ABB, FTTN gets about 88Mbps and FTTC gets about 104Mbps. I am happy with those speeds considering i am not on FTTP.
    - Turd on 28/09/2020 - 17:34
      
      do you have more than phone phone socket for the FTTN premises?
      - lonewolf on 28/09/2020 - 21:45
        
        @Turd: I have 2 phone sockets, but possibly the guy may have terminated the one i wasnt using for the modem as he looked at it first. I am also very close to the node according to the installer. Apparently 50m or so away. But who knows how long the length of the cable is but still 88Mbps i can handle, if it was 65 or lower then i would move to 50Mbps connection. People also say with FTTN its good to get in a professional who will go through every connection and the box outside and make sure its all terminated / connected properly etc and that can increase your speeds too. I havent done this yet as i am not sure if the guy terminated the other socket as it is.
        
        Can this also help for FTTC?
        
        Turd on 28/09/2020 - 23:51
        
        @lonewolf: Yes for VDSL2 technologies ie. FTTN, FTTB, and FTTC all must have one phone copper line connected from this leadin pair.
        
        Even if you have copper internally connected to the main copper and even of the socket is cut off it is still connected.
        
        This can cause instability and signal loss.
        
        What are you DSL statistics given on your modem?

      Yeah in that case you should be able to subscribe to a 100/40 plan if you want to, 88mbps is a decent speed, especially on FTTN. Must be close to the node, lucky for you.

Signed up to this a couple of months ago with the same gift card deal going, the terms are really confusing as it's a 24 month contract, however confirmed that relates to the modem repayments. No early cancellation fee per se but will need to payout the modem ($9 x remaining months on plan).

Looking at the Telstra website they do offer a 30 day guarantee that says it waives hardware replacement costs - worded badly but on another page it says just return the modem so best to chat with someone to be 100% sure(https://www.telstra.com.au/support/category/broadband/nbn/nb…)

JB will call for you to pick up the gift card once it's all activated so you won't walk out with a gift card same day.
- Flowerbomb on 28/09/2020 - 15:25
  
  Thanks. You’ve saved me a trip to the shops. Been jumping around different ISPs, so paying off the modem after 1 month of service isn’t worthwhile for me.

      I would confirm that with JBHIFI as the modem when added adds the modem plus device repayment with 100% offset but the offset is void if canceled within 24 months thus requires termination payment. Simply ask the rep not to add the modem to the order👌

This kinda sucks… you essentially are signing yourself up to a 24 month contract because you have to pay off the modem if you cancel earlier. They suck you in with the 'month to month' plan spin… but keep the detail about having to pay for the modem quiet. Not worth it for a JB gift card and a $10 discount for half of the contract, especially so when there are heaps of providers who offer 50Mbps for a lot cheaper each month.
- IMadeYouReadThis on 28/09/2020 - 15:49
  
  You get Telstra Smart modem which comes with the 4G backup (at throttled speed) so you can keep going during the NBN outage. I have one from VF and it has been saviour while wfh!

    That's nice. But, as I said, signing up to a 24-month contract and paying for that modem isn't worth it. For the amount of time NBN can go down (never, in my experience, but I understand mileage may vary) you can just hotspot from your phone for those brief times.

      - AwesomeAndrew on 28/09/2020 - 16:16
        
        @machej: If you choose to go with this option you will need to pay $95 per year. There is also the upfront cost of the huawei modem. Using a hotspot from your phone is probably much more cost effective.

  yeah, it's not even worth it with that useless modem, with that money you can buy a very decent router that suits all needs, ISP modem are always crap and worth pennies after a couple of month and you have to put up with all sort of lock. It's ok if you just want to hook up your pc or set up WPA2 wifi, plus a bonus switch to 4g if NBN fail, anything beyond that then you'll have to spend extra on another router

Was in store trying to get the $69 mobile plan and so I enquired about this too. Unfortunately they didn't let me personally sign up as its not in my name, even though Im a full authority on the telstra account which is meant to allow for new sign ups. But he did confirm that it was $110 - $10 monthly credit for 100/20 and a $200 gift card. Kinda happy it didn't work as it was very spur of the moment and I might have regretted moving from Aussie BB

Sum-Ting Wong on 28/09/2020 - 16:08

“ For new customers who stay connected for 24 mths,  subject to month to month plan price changes.”

So technically, within the 24 months you are paying for the modem, Telstra could increase the monthly plan price you are paying because it is a not a contract.

  That is the same for any month-month plan. Aussie Broadband is a prime example of this… they emailed me recently to say that my plan was going from 100/40 down to 100/20 or I could pay an extra $10/mth to stay on the same speed.

    Kogan didn't even warn me, one day my plan was 100/40, the next it was 100/20. Tried complaining to them and got nowhere so I switched to superloop.

    The difference is you don't necessarily have to pay off a modem if you want to leave Aussie BB.

I'm guessing the new discounted nbn plans could be released anytime soon now :-)

Last I checked, Aussie Broadband was about $85-90 a month and far superior to Telstra. Both in terms of customer service and international routing (important for latency in games).

  I'm on $59 pm FTTB with TPG with quoted avg speed of 90 mbps. One of the better deal out there…
  
  I never had any issues with TPG but I know some had bad experience with their customer service. And I'm aware FTTB is not available to all.
  
  I did a speed test, and it was 106.4 mbps

  I'm with Aussie Broadband and they emailed me on Saturday saying they're increasing my plan (100/20) to $99per/month as of November. So the temptation to switch over to Telstra to grab a $200 gift card is tempting

    This is what happened to me and is the reason I’m giving them the flick.

      pretty much the same here, this deal looking good for me if I can get it (VIC).

  If only I could afford Aussie BB. I was paying $69 for 25mbps HTC. Changed over to tangerine and that was $59 for 50mbs.
  
  Maybe it’s because of their IPO on the ASX, hence they need to raise the prices of their plans to keep their new shareholders happy.

  international routing and gaming is not a thing that mixes….
  
  also, theres no way aussiebroadband are better than telstra international routing wise. telstra owns that shit.

Telstra's 250 and 1000mbps plans release tomorrow, something to keep in mind.
- OzBerghainer on 28/09/2020 - 16:24
  
  Since when? What prices are they looking at for the 250
  - interfreak on 28/09/2020 - 16:34

      Aren't they a bit slow to the market?
