Telstra NBN is now doing a special offer for new users. $95/mth for 12 months then $110/mth.

I am an existing Telstra NBN Standard Plus (50Mb) customer and paying $95 per mth (raised from $90 last month). Just spent 2hrs talking to Telstra via live chat today and finally upgraded to Premium Speed Plan (100Mb) for next 12 months without extra monthly fee raise.

The downside for this upgrade is I will lose $5 Telstra credit for the next 3mths (those $5 was to compensate for my current plan price up from $90 to $95) . The upside is I will have 100Mb speed for the next 12mths.  roughly will save $15x12mths - $5x3mths = $165 in total if I can downgrade to Standard Plus Plan in time. Can I call this a bargain?

Min cost for new customers $311 if you cancel after 1 month (incl. $216 modem, $15 plan credit). If you leave within 24 months pay out the modem ($9/mth for every month remaining in the first 24 mths). Credit applied by the second bill. Until 25 October 2021.

    They had that for a while now.

    They wont offer it to current customers yet to switch to NBN though…

    It's still overpriced…

            @jv: I have been paying this since May this year, i used to pay $65 for same plan with Foxtel now, i cancelled foxtel ($25 per month plan) and added Kayo ($25-1$0plan for 12 months), My bill came down to $50 per month. This is why on earth iam still with Telstra. I am fully awake, not dreaming.

            • justtoreply on 06/10/2021 - 21:57

              @NPB: How please? Those numbers and your description can't be deciphered.

              Telstra 100mbps is $95 per month without kayo. Kayo is $15 per month.

              $95+$15=$110 per month

              So to say you're paying $50 for something that costs $110 and are getting line rental too.. It certainly seems that either it's not true or you were unclear in what you meant

                @justtoreply: Thank you, I had some discounts on $90 plans since 2017, used to have Foxtel box as well ( returned to them already) , had some speed issues while changing from cable to NBN. There were some nice reps who further discounted my plan. I decided to remove my Foxtel and add Kayo, the bill came to be $50 only. Yes the calculation doesn’t work as you said. The Kayo is only for 12 months , the internet discount is only until this December . I will need to request to keep this discount on going , may or may not work. don’t know what will the plan end up from January.

                I know this does not seem real but it’s true .

They agreed and everything remains same at least for a year. I did receive an increased bill today, the difference in increased bill was waived for this month as well.

      Reliability. I wish to change to AB or Superloop but hear too many horror stories. To save $10-15 a month isn't worth taking the chance.
      I pay $80 a month (soon to increase to $85) and may consider a change but am hesitant because of the comments I see on the other providers…

      I pay $90 for a reliable 100/40 connection, which goes over 109Mbps download any time on any day (HFC)
      Free 4G backup is handy. Telstra Air is handy. Unlimited Australian calls is handy.
      You need to learn to deal with customer service. Be polite but persistent, have all dealing through chat and logs saved and ready to present if needed. Only had account issues (charged more than greed on), no technical issues so far.
      Show me a similar service cheaper (not by $1 but at least $10 to justify the swap, and not 6mth promo) and I will swap. I am struggling to find <$90 unlimited 100/40Mbps service (not to mention 4G backup and calls included). For me it is worth the occasional (once a year) haggle with the Customer service
      But this deal is still not a good deal.

      • NPB on 08/10/2021 - 23:49

        i agree with you. I know people down voted me. I spent sometime with them over the chat once a year. I just did today as my monthly bill sent today was increased as their plan has changed. I am successful to keep my plan ongoing with no increase in monthly bill. Yes, you need to be polite, persistent and stay connected. I also keep my all chat history saved in case i need to present them in future. They have agreed to offer me a very discounted plan with Kayo as well. They waived my increased amount for this month. i have my chat history, reference number all saved in case i need.

      • sohomel on 18/10/2021 - 17:40

        you are right. but it is not what it supposed to be - the service & cost you get depends on customer's communication skills. Telstra keep increasing the price and never improve the customer support.

    I churned from Telstra and is now paying $89.95 for 250mbps for 6 months with Superloop. Rinse and repeat for another 6 months after this contracts ends means a potential savings of $5 * 12 = $60, plus higher download speed and most importantly, say no to Telstra uncompetitive pricing

    I am on FTTN, but it is an old pair gain rim in the area, and we are 100m from the node. Telstra for ages refused to let us try a 100/20 speed.

    • CookieJacker31 on 06/10/2021 - 22:38

      Not quite the same plans. Telstra's includes 4g backup and a landline. Landlines add about $10 to those plans. 4g backup isn't even an option on most of the others. There is also the "free" modern if you stay long enough.

      Whether people value those or not doesn't change the are included in one and not the others, so it's no surprise the prices are more with Telstra.

  • archer175 on 06/10/2021 - 22:27

    These comments have been very helpful. I just got a letter from Telstra saying my 100/40 plan had an incorrect discount and its now $119pm. And not to worry because "luckily" they wont be billing me for the last 12months extra money.
