Works for most plans, even gigabit.

Obviously you cannot apply this code alongside other longer term codes like the "$x off per month for the first 6 months" ones if you're looking for a longer term relationship.

You'll also need proper hardware to take full advantage of gigabit. That's everything from the last mile NBN infrastructure leading to your house, the router (lower end ones that work fine for ADSL and lower tier NBN might choke when flooded with gigabit) and even your motherboard ethernet on your computer (older/lower end motherboards might only have 100mbps ethernet, so you'll need either an adapter or a new motherboard).

        Many times, and each time it was a nightmare. People who can't speak English nor do they listen to anything you say they simply read their script at you. There was one exception though, I'm not sure what option I selected but I gt an Aussie guy who knew his shit and fixed my problem immediately. But this only ever happened once, every other time it has been immense pain dealing with international call centre monkeys.

      I intermittently swapped between Telstra to Optus for 10 years before moving to ABB recently.

      Main advantage is Australian support staff with solid technical competence and moderately faster speeds at roughly the same price.

      I am a little concerned at how fast they're expanding + going public, as I'd assume they'll rely on shortcuts soon, but as of now I'm quite satisfied.

          Just go with superloop, I was with ABB until they jacked their prices up and a few other things and actually got faster sync speeds from superloop when I literally changed nothing.

          Still getting unlimited 100/40 for $89 too instead of $99 for 100/20 ABB were going to charge.

          • Chaffix on 19/07/2021 - 18:52

            @ptfff: Depends where you are I suppose, I'm with ABB on their 1000/50, paying the same that I would at Superloop with 3x the supposed evening speed and no data cap.

    • nebakke on 19/07/2021 - 13:51

      I hung around Telstra for the longest time for much this reason. It was stable and reliable. Any issues with their customer service were largely irrelevant as it tended to "just work(tm)". But it annoyed me that I couldn't get a static IP - and let's face it, it annoyed me that it was Telstra. So I switched to ABB, saving a little bit of money while I was at it, and I haven't looked back.
      YMMV obviously, but I have been more than happy with the service, it's been fast, stable and overall excellent and the switch took about 15 minutes from I called them - smooth as even.

      Can highly recommend!

      if it is similar price, then Telstra's free 4G backup is great.

        I have the smart modem and have two major outages this year which the 4G never kicked in so was left high and dry. I couldn't bear dealing with the Indian call centre so just put up with it. But after my contract ends I'm out.

        • BlueSkyAPI on 20/07/2021 - 20:48

          does anyone have experience with sharing internet with your neighbours? while from a technical standapoint it's fairly straightforward, with PtP wifi bridge being very affordable these days - the biggest barrier is finding neighbours I can trust.

          • boretentsu on 24/07/2021 - 06:42

            @BlueSkyAPI: Or neighbours who trust you

              @boretentsu: All the connections are encrypted these days. Even the router could only see the IPs the connections are going to but not the content inside the connection.

    Can you sign up for the gigabit plan for one month, and then immediately downgrade the next month? I might as well try gigabit for a month if it is free regardless, and then switch to 100/40 which is what I want long term

    • bobzor on 19/07/2021 - 12:33

      I think you can call them and sign up to gigabit, but you have to agree that you will likely only receive up to 200mbps down and 100mbps up

        You can't get 100mbps up even on gigabit, so that won't happen.

            @Twix: Ah yeah, NBN's way of making sure businesses don't piggyback off consumer accounts and pay up a lot more but it doesn't even make sense, plenty of businesses don't need upload speed and plenty of home users do need it. They've been talking about normalising them but it never happens.

            You're right, not doing that. It'd be cheaper to make use of the fixed wireless (predates NBN) antenna on my roof and have two connections.

    • Twix on 19/07/2021 - 12:34

      100/40 is the FTTC maximum. For 250Mbps and above you have to upgrade to FTTP.

      • cricab on 20/07/2021 - 10:54

        So, I am on the old Cable internet which provides 115/5 and the tech available at my address is FTTC. Essentially I'll be downgraded to a lower download speed (not bothered much about upload) when I am forced to switch to NBN. Is the cable internet infra capable of handling higher speeds if the provider does upgrade an FTTC's plan to say 250/100?

        • Twix on 20/07/2021 - 11:28
          +1

          Nah FTTC doesn't use the HFC cable. FTTC delivers around 105Mbps using copper wire. An ISP can't randomly offer 250/100 on FTTC. NBN do the network upgrades and it is not up to the ISPs.

          • cricab on 20/07/2021 - 14:26

            @Twix: Pardon my lack of knowledge, does FTTC to FTTP upgrade just cover the laying of cable from the curb to the premise? If so, is the current cable which runs to the premise different from the one which is laid with the FTTP upgrade?

            • Twix on 20/07/2021 - 16:45
              +1

              @cricab: Installation of the fibre cable from your street or nearest fibre point somewhere else, installation of the nbn NTD and testing. FTTC uses fibre and copper wire. FTTP uses fibre cables all the way to your premises.

    • blazerunner on 19/07/2021 - 12:57

      In terms of the FTTC technology, it's technically possible to go higher, and on the NBNCo roadmap to potentially add 250/25 and gigabit potentially to some addresses. Fingers crossed, but I'm not holding my breath.

      You could be better off paying the (pricey) fee to upgrade to FTTP from FTTC if it's possible at your address. How much that's worth to you depends on what you want it for…

Pretty much a waste if your aren't maintaining something like a Nas with constant stuff coming in and going out. Another benefit is uploads if you need that sort of thing.
