I found this on whirlpool.

Existing customers use https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/lp/freakinfast/customer

100/20 $89/month (Was $99)
100/40 $89/month (Was $109)
250/25 $99/month (Was $129)
1000/50 $119/month (Was $149)

Due to the recent HFC technology shortages and the potential demand on our call centre, we feel it is important to manage demand and as such, we have decided to put our existing customer Focus on Fast promotions on hold.

If customers decided to upgrade their plans now via MyAussie, the system is ready and will apply the promotion (provided the service is eligible), but we will be holding off our communications of Focus on Fast to existing customers until later this week.

Plans not available at all premises. Only redeemable with an existing active Aussie Broadband nbn™ service. Current nbn™ plan must be held for a minimum of 3-months prior to the upgrade to be eligible to receive the discount.

Customers are eligible to upgrade to any supported plan above/faster than their existing active plan

Update. Thanks to kain0rer

They've scrapped the need for being on the same plan for 3 months, it's now as long as you haven't been on the same plan you're upgrading to in the last 3 months.

Focus on Fast Terms & Conditions

New customers for 100/20, 250/25 and 1000/50 use https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/lp/freakinfast

        Damn, this sucks a bit. Guess it doesn't pay to be an early adopter and pay full price from the start!
        Might switch over to the superloop Gigabit plan with the 6 month discount. Even though it is limited to 3tb of data I don't think I'll be using that much.

        • Twix on 02/02/2021 - 12:20

          Yeah if you ever hit 3TB Superloop slows you down to 100/50 for the remainder of the month.

    • Tony-Abbott on 02/02/2021 - 12:16

      Not eligible at all. It's not really a deal for existing customers, it's a deal for customers to upgrade and that's it.

        Just did the live chat thing with ABB . I'm on 100/20 500g for $95. They confirmed ( and I have the transcript) that if I schedule to change to 100/40 Unlimited on next bill cycle it will be at $89.

    • Flying Ace on 02/02/2021 - 13:35

      Was with Mate recently and ported out to Superloop. Was getting around 35mbit on Mate on their 50/20 plan, now with Superloop I'm getting consistently 50mbit on the same plan.

  • mini_wombat on 02/02/2021 - 12:49

    With the removal of the free daytime data I am thinking more about swapping to 12/1. Price increased during the year more than 10% for me.
    From a price perspective, I want my DSL back … less money and faster than the current 12/1 deal. And there we thought Internet gets cheaper over time. Amazing how everyone accepts these massive price tags for speed. Not me.

    • Was previously on 100/20 @ $99 mth
    • Changed over to 250/25 for the same price

    I can easily change back to 100/20 after 6 months and if the price ever increases it's a pretty simple churn to another provider as it's all non-contract.

    It's a no brainer for me! Thanks OP!

    OK, so, I was on the phone with Aussie broadband.

    IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE HIGHEST SPEED, YOU WILL NOT GET A DISCOUNT

    You can't request a speed slowest and ask to upgrade because you need to be at least 3 months with the speed before request an upgrade.

    so, if you have the highest speed, no discount for you.

          FWIW, I'm working from home and download video games, movies, stream, etc. This month I only used 571GB and that includes downloading Cyberpunk twice, red dead redemption, and my partner at home all day streaming 4k movies constantly. It might be worth it to check your usage in the ABB portal.

          I think the only people who will hit the 3TB limit are people constantly uploading massive files to the cloud (e.g. video producers, computer animators, etc.)

          • luizmarin on 02/02/2021 - 13:31

              @luizmarin: Ah yea, then I could see 3TB being an issue. Either way, the portal will tell you your usage, might still be worth it.

              It sucks that people on the highest tier get screwed over

      Nah, that's not how it works. I thought of going down the same route but I had a chat with them on the phone and was given the low down.

      Switch to the 100/40 plan which is the same price as the 1000/20 but with higher uploads. That will net you the $10 savings each month (for 6 months).

      It's why I left Aussie for Superloop. I still pay $89.

      It's true that increased bandwidth use post-COVID greatly increasing CVC charges is the main reason for the increase. But there are still multiple RSPs with 100/40 under the $109 that Aussie want pre-discount.

      But hey, a deal's a deal, if you qualify then Aussie are still great, and when you discount runs out, churn.

    • KangaDrew on 02/02/2021 - 13:59

      It's an UPGRADE discount with half of it being paid for by NBN Co. If you have nothing to upgrade to, why would you expect a discount?

      • theresnorevolution on 02/02/2021 - 14:19

        If it's sponsored by NBN Co, why shouldn't that savings be passed along to me? I also have nowhere to upgrade to. I'm being penalised for being on their best service for so long, so I've left.

        • KangaDrew on 02/02/2021 - 14:32

          The savings are provided for lower-tier plans only. It's HALF paid for by NBN Co and the other half by ABB - they are both coming to the table to provide the 6 month discounted plans.

          The promotion (which, to note, is primarily an NBN Co promo) is targeted at getting lower value users on to higher plans to increase their revenue. So if you're already on the max plan, there is no additional revenue to capitalise on. Ergo, no savings to pass on since you're already on the highest you can get and can't upgrade your plan.

          NBN Co don't care about loyalty as they know you'll use the NBN in one way or another, which is why their promo is targeting those on plans that can be upgraded. And since they aren't offering RSP's a discount on max level plans, RSP's like ABB have no discount to pass on and/or match.

          • theresnorevolution on 02/02/2021 - 15:10

            @KangaDrew: Just because they're not being subsidised doesn't mean they can't choose their pricing. They should also know what promotions their competitors are running.

            It's just a really silly decision on their part. If they would have said, "Upgrading customers get the promo, and if you're on our top tier we'll automatically apply the discount" they would have 0 people leave and there wouldn't have been an effect on the number of upgrades. They even could've just given the discount to the people who could be bothered calling, because they're the most likely to switch, and minimised the discounts they gave out.

            I'm sure not everyone will jump ship, but for each customer that leaves for a competitor ABB are now out at least $120/m for at least 6 months, probably more.

            Essentially, for people in my situation, ABB could've chosen a 20% loss over 6 months but instead chose a 100% loss for an indeterminate amount of time. Also, one of the basics of business is that retention is easier than attracting new customers. Thanks to ABB I now know that changing providers is much easier and I know that quite a number of other providers provide a similar service for the same price, or less.

            So, yea, poor form. It's a bunch of silly business decisions rolled into one.

    ABB gives zero f's if you port out for a better deal with another isp. They have a mentality that their service is so fantastic and are swimming in cash that the don't care about 1 person porting out. Well it's been 6 months since I had a chat to some stuck up guy at ABB and ported out. Those customers leaving sure add up quickly don't they ABB? This is what you deserve.

      Yep.
      Mine gave me assurances during signup, all recorded. Not honored.
      Even the CEO got involved, and admitted "you're right, we promised it, we still won't honor it" (it was just a free modem I signed up 6 hours before the deal went active).

      So I moved to Exetel.
      ABB apparently wouldn't release my voip, because it had been less than 24 hours (Exetel said "give us 4 hours, we can bruteforce the lock code").

      And while we chatted, said "that's horrible, I'll make your first 3 months free"

      I pointed out they didn't do anything wrong; but insisted we deserved it for this mess around.

      Also, they phoned my elderly parents 3 times, over 3 weeks, to make sure they were happy with the service, and conduct a speed test client side.

      Exetel are not a good price right now :(
      But the "foreign service" was world's more honest and caring than the "Aussie" one I'd dealt with.

    I'm on fttc 100/20 which was recently bumped to $99/month.

    Can I switch to the 100/40 $89/month deal?

      Looking for the same answer, please let me know if you find out. I'll do the same.

      Yes, as you are upgrading the upload speed/plan. You will then get the $10 discount. I spoke with them about this scenario specifically.

        There is no option to enter code when I try to do this. It reinforces the fact that I will be paying an extra $10 per month!!

          Pick up the phone and call them then lol
