      Agree.

      If their base price was $80 (instead of $90) I would considering churning. But currently on a grandfathered Superloop plan for 100/40 @ $80 and reluctant to take the risk of having to take up newer plans of 100/20 @ >$80.

        my plan with SL has jumped back to 99 PM for 100/40, they upgraded me to 1000/40 3TB for now but I will opt out whenever that ends….. paying 99 for 100/40 is just ridiculous…

        • muwu on 23/08/2021 - 11:51

          my plan with SL has jumped back to 99 PM for 100/40

          Were you on an introductory rate before they reset the price to $99?

          they upgraded me to 1000/40 3TB for now

          How did you get this? $99/mo?

          • HD9990 on 23/08/2021 - 11:55

            @muwu: intro was like 84 PM.. I took up their offer from Dec 2020, with 84 PM for 6 months then up to 99, for 100/40 unlimited

            in about 3 months, they upped me to 1000/40 3TB for free for 6 mths, so it should fall back to 100/40 around sept

            the introductory offer ended in june and I'm paying 99 pm from then.

            very likely to jump out when the speed falls back to 100/40, not paying 99 pm for that….

    • Cousin IT on 25/08/2021 - 18:15

      Most RSPs dropped it from their easy to view/choose retail offerings because of changes made by the NBN, but if you want/ require a 100/40 connection it's easily obtainable, usually you just need to dig a little deeper on their websites or give them a call and be prepared to pay for it. Unless you're on Telstra, apparently they've completely gotten rid of it, most likely will start at pushing mobile broadband for home.

            @4kbargain: Superloop has their own network. Vocus themselves are not a bad provider like borat is mentioning above. There are many happy customers of Mate Communicate who are a Vocus reseller. Even Launtel resells Vocus services in some areas.

            I think he/she is just sour because of a bad experience with Epic.

            • G-rig on 30/08/2021 - 06:05

              @bonezAU: I remember vocus was showing up on the speed tests for tangerine (I think), have been with superloop (and now showing up as superloop, not sure if they were with vocus). Either way happy with superloop and the speeds are better (always 52.x Mbps), not sure there are readily any better intro deals around for $55-60/m - can't go back to tangerine for 6 months and already a customer with origin energy. If they could bump the speed up to 100 for $69 be ok but rather pay $50-60. Belong doesn't seem to have any deals, Aqua sounds a bit iffy but no idea about them.

              • bonezAU on 30/08/2021 - 07:42

                @G-rig: I'm with Superloop (no they don't use Vocus) and I can't fault them either, really good peak speeds with no noticeable slow down.

                • G-rig on 30/08/2021 - 08:06

                  @bonezAU: That's good to know, perhaps worth staying knowing their infrastructure/speeds are good. In theory they should all be the same here for HFC but know they aren't from the past. $50 instead of $70 for the same thing would be alright. I think tangerine would work out best given the referral system and random requests from OzBargain.

      • Mechz on 23/08/2021 - 12:26

        It depends on how much the reseller is paying Vocus for CVC.

  • mynameisborat on 23/08/2021 - 11:46

    In fact their website looks crude like EPIC broadband. I doubt if Aqua is a rebranded EPIC.

    • Cousin IT on 25/08/2021 - 18:35

      Don't you mean you wonder?

      It could be possible, but unlikely as Aqua Mobile shows up as being based in Melbourne and EPIC was Sydney based, both business names were registered in 2019, but it would have to be a pretty long con and Vocus would have to be in on it, as I doubt they would enter into another business deal with the person/people behind EPIC.

  • igoforthebest on 23/08/2021 - 11:52

    I've got TPG and according to them my home can only get max 50mbps… Is there a way I could check the line speed myself?

    • justtoreply on 23/08/2021 - 12:04

      I can't remember if your modem has a max speed indication?

      Otherwise, no, fancy gear required. And you're probably not going to get an nbn tech you come out unless your house can't even get 12mbps or whatever their cut off is (Iirc that cutoff is increasing in the future but not to 50mbps)

      But I'm no pro so i hope you get other answers

      You can get a cable tech to redo your line from your wall to socket. Might help if your house is old. But not necessarily by much. I think mine went from 33 to 48mbps when cutting off 4 sockets and doing new cable. I wanted to keep one spare socket for a house alarm but the tech said "nbn doesn't allow multiple phone sockets".. dunno if true

      • Russ on 23/08/2021 - 18:57
        +1

        tech said "nbn doesn't allow multiple phone sockets".. dunno if true

        It is true. NBN is basically pushing radio-frequency signals down phone lines, which were designed for audio-frequency signals.

        Radio-frequency signals like seeing a straight connection from source to destination, any "branches", either before or after the "destination" (your modem) act as selective absorbers of some of the radio frequencies. In electronics parlance, they're called "stubs" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub_(electronics)

        As well as making some of the VDSL frequencies useless, the "branches" will also bounce the signal back and forth, like being in a room with strong echoes. This makes it hard for the modem to know which signal is the main signal, which limits the speed the modem can achieve. It may not even be able to "lock on" to the main signal.

        When the phone lines were used as phone lines, with audio-frequency signals, an echo of ~100 nanoseconds effectively did nothing. For someone speaking at frequencies from 300Hz to 3kHz (typical voice frequencies), a 100-nanosecond echo just made the signals imperceptibly quieter. And due to the physics of how the signals travel along the wires, the volume of the echo is usually negligible at audio frequencies. VDSL uses frequencies up to 12MHz, and the echo effect becomes quite strong at that frequency. The physics explanation for the difference is that once the length of a wire exceeds about 1/10th the wavelength of the signal you're trying to push down the wire, the signal starts to interact strongly with the wire. At 3kHz the interaction starts to be noticeable at lengths greater than 10km, for a VDSL signal at 12MHz the length is 2.5 metres.

        • justtoreply on 23/08/2021 - 19:18

          Thanks for the explanation.

          Whilst it makes sense from nbnco's lopsided perspective, they can get (profanity). It's my house, if I decide the utility of a monitored alarm exceeds the utility of 5mbps on an already slow connection, that's my right to have it.

          I had a business selling NBN services, so I have access to the provider's tool. I don't think there is a way for individuals to do it.
          But if you call your provider they can tell you.

          This tool is generally just for FTTN

      "NBN Speed Estimate: NBN advises the expected TC4 speed will be xx Mbps"

      This data comes direct from NBN and is very reliable. It's what your line can handle.

      nbn FW is a wireless signal that connects to a nbn FW tower. You can use any ISP who does nbn FW. 75Mbps is the maximum and you might get slower speeds if your local tower is congested. nbn FW is not using 4G.

          Hmm ok thanks. I've got a good connection at the moment (9ms ping, 52 dl, 19 ul), even is Aqua is a bit slower I could change up to the $69 plan for 100/40 would be the same price as staying at Superloop after the promo price.

          The website is a bit lacking, assume no app or login.

          Hard to know if these fees mostly apply to the mobile plans or NBN - *Early Disconnection/Cancellation Fee $199.00 *

          Non-Direct Debit Fee. - Link your account to a bank or credit card to avoid this charge. $2.50
          Paper Bill Charge - Switch to e-mail billing to avoid this charge. $2.50
          Late Payment Fee $10.00
          Bounced Payment Fee Applied if your direct debit fails $10.00
          Number Swap and Relocation Fee $99.00
          SIM Card Replacement Fee $15.00
          Plan Migration Fee $15.00
          Early Disconnection/Cancellation Fee $199.00

            @G-rig: I've got 10 ping, 53 dl, 20 up at the moment (7pm) with a mesh network.

          Just having a look at the Additional fees and charges

          Early Disconnection/Cancellation Fee $199.00

          Anyone know if this applies to NBN if cancelled prior to 9 months?
          Some of the fees look only applicable to the mobile services.

          Hopefully could test out 50/20 then perhaps 100/40 if it's slower than what I'm using.

            @G-rig: No contracts so they can't really charge that fee.

      Good to know as I’m thinking of moving from Belong as this deal is cheaper (for the 9 months) and faster. I’m getting 32/19 during peak but during the day it hovers around 20/10. Video conferences have been unreliable some days WFH. Are you able to check what you get during the day or what you get is constant?

        Constant: I was worried about peak issues. No troubles at all. Vocus is the wholesaler.

    To monitor your usage you may call on (03) 8400 5212 or Email

    The website doesn't seem to have an account login section or any bells and whistles, maybe not needed most of the time?
    Anyone with them ?
