    How is this fixed price?

    With no contract Epic can up the monthly price at anytime.

    Do your research fellow bargain hunters. Epic Broadband NBN experiences on OzBargain and whirlpool are not great.

      Same here, trying to understand the 'fixed price' model. As there's no contract, they can increase price and you'll only get $5/month discount. So does that mean this deal is actually just $5/month discount for as long as you stay with them?

      • Twix on 07/04/2021 - 16:53

        Yeah only $5 a month off until Epic does a Telstra and Aussie Broadband and sends an email saying the price is increasing.

        • Gavman on 07/04/2021 - 19:57

          Yeh so leave. No exit fees. Donk

      And you simply switch to a different provider. You are also not locked in.

      • bunnybash on 28/04/2021 - 19:06

        You need to give 30 days notice though - they don't.

        • rdhupar on 28/04/2021 - 19:55

          If you are so scared about losing 30 days money, maybe you shouldn't save any money by taking a cheaper plan

    • Gavman on 07/04/2021 - 19:57

      Who signs up to contracts these days. Being locked in to a 1-2 year contract with a provider is criminal. Strange that people are scared providers will Jack up prices. That’s the whole point of competitive market. Leave any time and go with someone cheaper

      • USER DC on 07/04/2021 - 23:21

        Yup I kinda regret getting on contract with belong, but honestly internet hasn't been that bad honestly and Decent price for 55/month, considering I Got

        free $80 sim credit, (can be used to get to get 80 gb data for first month then use it for another 4 months)
        free modem,
        free first month ( till 1st of month after service gets active)
        Decent nbn 30 plan

        But definitely not gonna stay after contract finishes because they gonna bump up price up by $5

    Can I use my Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 with this provider? (NBN-HFC)

    • coolsteps on 09/04/2021 - 10:54

      yes you should be able to use any vsdl modem like the gen 2 i have heaps.

    Can you do a similar offer on their 100mbit plan? Would be all I need to nudge me away from Belong (who I've been quite happy with, but I like the idea of 100mbit).

  • fozzie on 07/04/2021 - 17:04

    Tempting but a bit worried about the mixed reviews! Why there is no option for 100/20 btw?

    Edit: $69 is for 100/20, but on the finder link says 40 upload speed. That’s confusing

  • TThomas on 07/04/2021 - 17:12

    Had Epic broadband for a month with the last discount and it was painfully slow when downloading from overseas cloud providers, I basically had to use a VPN 100% of the time to get full speed

    Not using a VPN downloading from Mega got me around ~500KB/s whereas once I switched on my VPN I was able to get ~10 MB/s. This was the same for a lot of other file downloading sites

    The final straw came when they had an issue in Melbourne which meant I was without NBN for half a day, the main concern was that they had no support in Melbourne to fix it, they had to fly someone down from Sydney to do it. Could understand having to bring someone in if I was in a small regional town however I'm not going to stay with a provider who has no support for the 2nd largest city in the country, could only imagine how long support would take if I did live in a regional town.

    There were a number of other issues, my IP address was showing up as based in other countries when I wasn't using my VPN which meant there were times couldn't watch local streaming services.

    Wasn't worth the $10-$20 saving over a more established provider.

    • fozzie on 07/04/2021 - 17:17

      Thanks for the review! I’m based in Sydney, but as you say to save $10 a month isn’t worth it. I’ll stay with Mate, who have been flawless the last year I have had them.

      • TThomas on 07/04/2021 - 17:21
        +1

        Mate was who I transferred to with their 250/25 deal, been a little over week and the speeds have been great. On HFC and I'm consistently getting >200mb/s

      2nd largest city in the country, could only imagine how long support would take if I did live in a regional town

      Sounds like they had an issue with their POI. You can't expect them to have staff at every POI across the country. For example, Aussie have 121 POIs. https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/help-centre/nbn/connectio…

      Not defending this mob, just saying, lets keep attacks in the realm of facts not hearsay. You're dreaming if you think half a day outage is unacceptable for a consumer grade service.

      • TThomas on 07/04/2021 - 17:34

        I'm not expecting them to have support in every location, however I think it is important to point out that if they don't have support in Melbourne than it's unlikely that they will have support anywhere else other than in Sydney.

        I think that's important to factor in when you are purchasing a plan that if there is an outage outside of Sydney, then you may be without the internet for a while.

        Update: And it's not hearsay, they emailed to inform users in Melbourne that our NBN will be out for a while as they need to fly someone in from NSW to resolve the issue

        • PainToad on 07/04/2021 - 17:41

          I think that's important to factor in when you are purchasing a plan that if there is an outage outside of Sydney, then you may be without the internet for a while.

          It's not "support" - Support can be offered from anywhere.

          It sounds like a hardware failure at one of their POIs in Melbourne. Do you expect them to pay staff to sit and wait 24/7 at hundreds on exchanges/POIs around the country on the off chance there's a hardware failure at one of them? I don't think you really understand the thing you are judging them on and it's something the could happen to any ISP.

          • TThomas on 07/04/2021 - 18:06

            @PainToad: I think you are getting a bit dramatic. I'm not expecting them to do anything however as a consumer I want to know that if they have an issue with their hardware in Melbourne which they can't remediate remotely that my internet will be down for a minimum of a few hours before they can get someone on site to investigate.

            Hence why I feel it's important to point out, given that there would be numerous ISPs which would have Melbourne based staff to "support" their infrastructure.

            Maybe you don't consider the ability to get your service back up and running important and that's your choice however for me, and I'm sure many others who are working from home, that extended delay in a company's ability to get me back online isn't worth saving $10-$20 for.

            • PainToad on 07/04/2021 - 18:19

              @TThomas:

              Maybe you don't consider the ability to get your service back up and running important and that's your choice however for me, and I'm sure many others who are working from home

              I too consider it important. But my expectations on a consumer grade service is realistic. If you want better uptime, pay for a business grade connection. https://www.nbnco.com.au/business/product-and-technical-info…

              If you think any cheap consumer grade service will be reliable, or wont have half a day outages, you are not living in the real world.

              I also pay for an Optus 4G Home broadband connection as a backup for my NBN. If your home connection is that important, you too should have redundancy. If you don't, it's not your ISPs problem.

              I think you are getting a bit dramatic.

              And I think you don't really understand the situation and have unrealistic expectations. Even if they had staff in Melbourne, they would have to drive to where ever your local POI is (there would be multiple in Melbourne). Then what if they don't have replacement hardware? Or do you also expect them to have warehouses all across the country near all the POIs "just in case" for your consumer grade $100 connection? You are dreaming.

              • TThomas on 07/04/2021 - 18:33
                -2

                @PainToad: I realise Melbourne is a big city but I never realised it would take just as long as for someone to drive from somewhere in Melbourne to another part of Melbourne as it would for someone to get to book a ticket from Sydney to Melbourne, get to Sydney airport, fly to Melbourne, drive to the POI (I think this step is the only step which was required if they live in Melbourne) and inspect the issue.

                You obviously have no clue what you are on about and obviously just trying hopelessly to push a point home, as you just keep on throwing in additional requests which were never stated in my review. I never asked for Epic to provide a service other consumer ISPs don't, which is what you keep reaching for.

      I can recommend Tangerine for the similar price (NBN50 $54.90). Not sure about overseas cloud speed though, but I've had good experience with them recently.

      • 4ustralian on 07/04/2021 - 18:13

        Apart from the decent speed and connection, the customer service is worst. NBN50 only for 6months period to new customers.

          I've been with tangerine for a year on their 50/20 and it's been brilliant.

          In terms of their service, only needed to use them once due to a billing issue and they resolved it in 5 mins.

          Have previously been with abb and to be honest, no difference in availability just significantly cheaper on tangerine.

          • CachePC on 08/04/2021 - 05:16

  • ThatNintendoKid on 08/04/2021 - 14:08

    Slightly unrelated, but is this or another brand like Aussie broadband worth it over TPG? I have had TPG for a while but over the last couple months the speed has been terrible and we often get around 0-20 mbps download speed even though we’re paying for 50 mbps.

    I’m thinking of joining with Aussie broadband or someone else to see if my line actually supports that speed and we’re not being limited or something idk

    Do not in any way switch to them. Their support is rude and lies constantly, their lies change, the fact that they are lying stays the same.

    Just don't! awful experience.

    Their phone number never worked now it's going to a voice system.
    And then they via chat that they are going for a full "Chat customer service experience".
    But today when I tried it the chat button, even that doesn't even work. lol
    Tried emailing them as the internet is not working, then I got an undeliverable email back. What a joke.
    Just don't fall for their low prices, you will regret it when there's an issue as there is zero customer service.
    I requested cancellation 3 months ago but it was never canceled so had to complain to the TIO. so waiting for their outcome.
    I'm just stuck with a shitty service I don't want.
