I think this is the cheapest 250/25Mbps plan that I can find for Opticomm fibre.
You can also get 100/20Mbps for $80 and get the same free activation and free router (NetComm NF18MESH)

P.S: This deal is for Opticomm Fibre areas only and NOT valid for NBN areas.
For NBN, check this deal instead.

Spoke to their staff and they said the price will not go up as long as you stay as their customer, but could not find the information anywhere else on their website.
If you decided that you don't like them, the cancellation fee is $100, which is ok in my opinion.

      Not that I know of. At least when I registered, the fastest I can go is the 250Mbps.

      • charng on 09/12/2020 - 22:22

        thx for the reply a few comments below. i was also wondering. when you said "we are launching this soon", did you mean in Opticomm areas only or in other fibre areas as well? more specifically to me, what about LBNco area in VIC golf estate suburbs. you knew i was on the 250/100 plan so you pretty much know where i mean right. thx.

          Hi charng, currently these plans are only being trialed with Opticomm as a lot of their network can support the Speeds. With LBNCo, although there is fiber lines, only small areas are able to support 250mbps+ connections.

  • RangaWal on 08/12/2020 - 22:42

    Why do all these 250Mbps plans only have 25Mbps upload, yet many 100Mbps plans have 40Mbps upload?

    • congo on 08/12/2020 - 23:03

      Are you sure it is 25Mbps? Was expecting it to be a lot more.

    • Lost-Sons of dallas on 09/12/2020 - 08:10

      Even 100/40 is getting harder to find nowadays. wfh is only happening cuz of covid. its not what the guvment and hence the nbn want people doing.

    • havebeerbelywillsumo on 09/12/2020 - 14:05

      +++++ to this

    • charng on 09/12/2020 - 22:16

      becasue from an RSP's side, it is (a lot) cheaper to offer the 100/20 and 250/25 plans after NBN co released new wholesale speed plans compared to the old 100/40.

      why did NBN release new plans with slower uploads? one of the guesses is that HFC cannot handle 40Mbps upload well, not really, especially when a handful of people are hitting their upload cap in the same area at the same time. so by lowering the uploads, higher speed plans are more likely to sustain in HFC areas.

      since the biggest wholesaler walked backwards ( in terms of uploads), some other competitors do not feel it necessary to compete, again in terms of uploads.

    So if I am already with Leaptel, do I have to call Leaptel for cancellation or is that done between the two providers?

    • flickr on 09/12/2020 - 08:24

      You have to call Leaptel to cancel. Check first with them when is the end of your billing date and you can schedule the cancellation. Then register with uniti and schedule your installation on that date.

      • sh4hp on 09/12/2020 - 09:08

        Right. Thanks!

    • juddy90 on 09/12/2020 - 12:43

      No need to cancel, it’s handled between providers just like a mobile port

    • Save 50 Cent on 09/12/2020 - 13:46

      If you are on a month-to-month plan then you don’t need to call them.

      • sh4hp on 09/12/2020 - 14:36

        I already called!

        Uniti also emailed saying

        "Now your Uniti service is up and running, you can give notice and cancel any other Internet connection you might have."

        Better be safe than sorry I guess….

        Thanks for the help!

    • Ryanek on 09/12/2020 - 15:09

      Better yet, tell Uniti to set up the new connection on your other port (Ont 2) so you don't have any down time.

      • sh4hp on 09/12/2020 - 15:45

        Right… I think they did, because they said a connection is already done? Not sure. I'll probably get back and set my current router up to the uniti setup, and see how it goes.

        Keen on getting the new router though, as my current one for some reason keeps timing out and cutting the internet off.

  • 63pinecone on 09/12/2020 - 08:38

    I’ve got the UniFi USG router, apparently it will struggle with anything above 100/40. Can anyone confirm this?

    • Twix on 09/12/2020 - 12:18
      +1

      Switch off the USG IDS/IPS settings. For much faster IDS/IPS performance purchase the UDM or UDM Pro.

      If all you need is a basic router, the USG gets the job done. It can route at 1 Gbps, but performance quickly suffers as you enable security features, especially the Intrusion Detection System or Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS). With those features enabled, the USG drops to around 85 Mbps of throughput.

      • flickr on 09/12/2020 - 14:22

        When I spoke to them, they said it could take 2-3 days for them to connect due to the demands. So I have scheduled the installation at the end of my billing period of my current ISP.

        Yes service is activated in under an hour. Only issue is… i am only getting 6MBPS when I was getting 100MBPS+ on leaptel…. Lets see if this improves.

        Same thing happened to me. Leaptel internet just got disconnected without any notification. Had to call Uniti to get up and running with PPPOE login etc… Just call them…

        I am hoping these speeds improve or I am going back to Leaptel!

        • 63pinecone on 09/12/2020 - 15:02

            @63pinecone: After disconnecting from Leaptel the Speed has gone up from 6mbps to around 28mbps. I have done a whole restart off the opticomm box etc. With leaptel i was averaging 100mbps+ on the 250mbps plan.

            If the speed stays at around 30mbps…IM SWITCHING BACK TO LEAPTEL :)

Are you able to send us a message on facebook or potentially email in to [email protected] with the subject line "OzBargain support" and I'll have your issue escalated directly to our level 2 team to query with Opticomm.

    • flickr on 09/12/2020 - 14:23

      With NBN or OptiComm? Have you tried to connect directly to the router using a cable? Sometimes the wifi interference, that caused the slowness.

        I haven't really tried doing a direct connection, but I've had 100/40 with other providers before with the same hardware and i have got much higher speeds. But yeah.. each to their own your experience could be much better than mine due to a number of other factors too.

    Anyone know when this offer expires?

    Exetel have a 30 day notice period for cancellation so looking to minimise the overlap if I decide to switch.

    Only thinking holding me back is the drop in upload vs what I have now and the static IP. Still paying $89.99 for 100/40 but uncontracted so they can bump up at anytime.

    • AssociatedUniti Wireless @ Uniti Wireless / Uniti Internet on 11/12/2020 - 10:05

    Also note that they do credit checks on you once signed up (with your approval).

    Will keep those informed on how it goes. Bit shaky so far.

    They did take down my existing internet service though - thought they would have activated on a different port but ended up on the same one. But all good once I updated my router with the new credentials.

    Connected via Ethernet, getting 250mbps down!

    • freefall101 on 14/12/2020 - 20:52

      I was on Uniti for their fixed wireless for a bit over a year before NBN was installed, had a few issues on install (all related to the wireless setup specifically) but they made it right in the end and it was pretty great.

      After that they were always awesome. Despite having rate increases they always kept me grandfathered on their old plan. NBN wound up costing me more, however it has been more reliable than the dish on the roof.

      Very tempted to switch back again, $90 a month for their 100/40 plan at the moment is decent. Paying $99 through Superloop for that.

      Majority of our wholesalers also are not in Perth so often any time after these posted operating times, if there was a fault it may be difficult for us to resolve right there and then on that call.
