    $85 for 50/20… That is app 20$ more than what we currently pay… Works out to be the same over a 12 months period.

    • huey on 26/11/2021 - 09:25

      This plan only requires 45 days of connection, just churn else where.

        Ah… I see what you mean.

        Getting abit lazy nowadays… And potential disruption to service further reduce appetite to churn nbn. Probably the second most inconvenient thing to churn after mortgages.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/11/2021 - 14:43

          If you're on FTTP it's just unplug router from one NTD box port and connect into another. If you're not on FTTP - why not?

            1. Current provider uses pppoe and takes a few mins to setup.
            2. VOIP box at home… A pain to tweak settings.

      • Cataclysm on 28/11/2021 - 16:51

        I selected to port out on 29 which is tomorrow from belong.

        Do i need to disconnect from belong? Billing cycle starts 1st Dec.

          You should, after verifying that it all works well with origin. I cancelled yesterday just in case it takes a few days but belong confirmed today my service is now closed with them

      Good deal if you are already with origin for energy though, only $4pm more than superloop, so $8 outlay for $250 gift card.

      • kulprit on 26/11/2021 - 11:40

        Am considering moving off superloop, but they don't refund partial months so you have to move at exactly the right time.

            @hawkeye93: I thought it was flip TV. But, looking at their prices it doesn't seem to be them. So???

      • [Deactivated] on 26/11/2021 - 14:50

        Yep, from 69.95 with Superloop to 74 with Origin + $250, effectively works out $37.6 for 50/20 if you stay with Origin for 6 months.

  • Homerlovesbeer on 26/11/2021 - 09:23

    No 100/40 FTTN plan

  • mynameisborat on 26/11/2021 - 09:24

    I'm sorry but where on Origins website is this mentioned?

  • Benoffie on 26/11/2021 - 09:42

    Also have to factor in that you'll be paying for two months of Internet from Origin as you cant cancel/churn before 45 days.

  • BlueSkyAPI on 26/11/2021 - 09:52
    +1

    This is a deal in my book. In the base case just sign up and pay $84/month standalone (not bundled with energy) for two months at $168. With the $250 giftcard you would still be ahead by $82 net profit. Considering Woolies giftcard is easily on 4% off, so perhaps shave another $10 off the profit. $72 buys a reasonable amount groceries - consider this would feed two meals for a small family.

    +1 well done OP!

    • virtualds on 26/11/2021 - 10:46
      +1

      I think the savings is more - current reasonable price in market - $54 for 50mbps, you pay extra $60 for two months with origin. $250-$60 = $190 free money.

      • BlueSkyAPI on 26/11/2021 - 15:05

        Agree. I was attempting to illustrate the worst case scenario even for someone who doesn't need NBN. And yes these cases do exist for a small number of people

      • hawkeye93 on 27/11/2021 - 17:26

        Which provider for $54?

        • BlueSkyAPI on 27/11/2021 - 21:39

          Maybe Tangerine Telecom?

  • shiningblade on 26/11/2021 - 09:59

    A pretty good deal, especially I'm Origin electricity user! Free money is welcome :)

  • jcarl on 26/11/2021 - 10:11

    Just FYI for those on Opticomm like myself..

    Origin charge a $99 connection fee, so it kind of makes this deal less appealing. It's ridiculous they charge this fee considering Aussie Broadband don't..

    • Cousin IT on 26/11/2021 - 10:16

      Maybe ABB are absorbing the cost as part of their stratergy to gain customers on Opticomm network and they're not passing that saving on to Origin as part of their white label deal.

      • bobzor on 26/11/2021 - 12:40

        ABB charge the $99 on opticomm now too

    • virtualds on 26/11/2021 - 10:49

      What's Opticomm?

      • kehuehue on 26/11/2021 - 12:22

        think its FTTP not sure

      • bobzor on 26/11/2021 - 12:41

        Yep it's a private FTTP (non-nbn)

    • macr0hard on 27/11/2021 - 10:25

      so if I'm moving from Belong to this deal, does Origin also charge me the $99 connection fees?

      • jcarl on 27/11/2021 - 11:22

        Yes they will

        • macr0hard on 27/11/2021 - 12:20

          So everyone will pretty much have to pay this fee? A previous poster said opticomm is non nbn but I’m on nbn?

          • jcarl on 27/11/2021 - 13:21

            @macr0hard: I can't speak for nbn but opticomm charge the $99 fee for connecting. As far as I know there is no charge for NBN but I am not definite

    If you leave at 46 days is their a pro rata refund,?

    • bobzor on 26/11/2021 - 12:42

      With ABB there isn't, so probably not here too.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/11/2021 - 14:45

      This is from the order confirmation e-mail:

      To cancel your service/s after connection, you must call us on 1300 980 711 to ensure a pro-rata credit is applied. You may close your service with us at any time during your billing period and receive a pro-rata credit or refund. Please note: a pro-rata credit or refund will not be given in situations where we have cancelled your service as per our terms and conditions.

    Signed up, thanks op. Moving from Superloop, given this is ABB hoping the connection will be better. Was pretty disappointed with Superloop

  • Kas on 26/11/2021 - 10:58

    Hi,
    Can we still get this offer, if we sign up withing given dates and choose connection date after 2 weeks time?

    • kulprit on 26/11/2021 - 11:41

      Interested, but would have to ask them.

    • cannibal on 26/11/2021 - 11:57
      +1

      Yes, you can nominate a connection date during the sign up process.
      It appears to be a maximum of 4 weeks e.g. if you signed up today you could nominate 24 December as the latest connection date.

    • Reveen on 26/11/2021 - 13:45
      +4

      Yes. I selected a future connection date and the e-mail confirmation of my order contained the following:

      Your add-ons
      Promotional code applied to your account: $250 Woolworths Supermarket eGift Card (bf250)

      • kulprit on 26/11/2021 - 19:22

        Did you happen to leave superloop? How did you find which date you should pick?

        So Online has an anniversary date, seems to be the date cash is taken and data rolls over, but the invoice date is different obviously.

        • Reveen on 26/11/2021 - 19:33

          No.

          • Reveen on 27/11/2021 - 11:44

            @Reveen: Not sure why I was downvoted on this one - kulprit asked me whether I was on Superloop which I replied to, the rest of the question was about that ISP's billing cycle.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/11/2021 - 14:57

      Yes, scheduled for 20th of December and got confirmation with $250 promo code applied.

  • On1 on 26/11/2021 - 16:12

    Awesome deal, especially if you already have energy with them, which drops the price by another $10 .. and that makes it cheaper than Aussie Broadband themselves!

  • reactor-au on 26/11/2021 - 20:23

    I'm too scared to risk being without internet during a switch over, I mean what if there's a mess up?

    • cannibal on 26/11/2021 - 20:29

      If you don't use too much data, you could grab one of the many Kogan or Amaysim mobile deals and hotspot a spare phone to tide you over.

      • reactor-au on 26/11/2021 - 20:32

        For WFH it would be a disaster without NBN. To risk or not to risk….
        Edit: I'm with ABB already.
        Edit2: Probably better to keep with ABB directly to be able to reset ports etc via the app, safest way.

  • dwhes on 26/11/2021 - 20:59

    Great deal. I’m an origin customer already so received the email. Trying to checkout with the offer though and when you get to the end there is no mention of the $250+gift card? Just the $10 credit applied each month for existing customers. Anyone have it mention the gift card at order checkout? Or does it come through in an email after ordering confirming you’ll get it?

    Edit: placed an order, the gift card confirmation comes in an email after you’ve ordered.

    • racetolive on 27/11/2021 - 00:51

      How long you had to wait for the email confirmation?

      • dwhes on 27/11/2021 - 07:31

        Came maybe 30min after?

    • macr0hard on 27/11/2021 - 10:04

      so the cheapest plan is $64/m. If you're an origin customer does it come down to $54/m?

      • dwhes on 27/11/2021 - 10:10

        No that $64 is inclusive of the $10 customer discount. And you need to select a 50Mbps or higher plan to be eligible for the gift card as the terms state. Cheapest is $74 inclusive of customer discount.

      Very easy. If on fibre you can have multiple providers at once so no downtime. I’m on hfc and haven’t been down for longer than maybe a few minutes when changing provider though. Sign up to new one. Wait until it’s connected and running properly. Cancel old one.

      • macr0hard on 27/11/2021 - 10:44

        they said that BF day is online only. So my plan is to get the giftcard, then attempt to churn after 2 months and call them to see if they can offer that same deal again

  • txb on 27/11/2021 - 11:14

    for anyone on hfc, can you have two connection active at the same time?

    • coolsteps on 27/11/2021 - 11:48

      no unless you pay connection fee for an additional lead in. fttp is possible

  • txb on 27/11/2021 - 13:30

    30 day notice cancellation for Origin?

    Section 12.2 (c)
    https://origin-utilihub.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/uplo…

    12.1 Your rights to cancel or terminate
    (c) You may cancel a service by giving us 30 days’ notice in accordance with
    the appropriate process as outlined on our website. If you cancel a service
    during an applicable fixed term for that service, you may be liable to pay an
    early termination fee in accordance with Clause 4.10.

    So to time the gc on day 46 (for examples sake) and cancel the order of events is

    Connection date + 46 days
    Then subtract 30 days from that date is the day to ring and notify Origin of intent to cancel.

    • HardQuiz on 27/11/2021 - 13:42

          Reply from Origin. No notice required, instant cancellation with pro-rata.

          Standard policy is 30 days notice however it isn’t enforced and in all cases we will provide instant cancellation at anytime and the customer will receive a pro-rata credit for however long is remaining in their billing cycle.

          To proceed with a cancellation, this must be done over the phone and will require standard authorization procedures.

      • ValuexHunter on 27/11/2021 - 15:26
        +1

        That is referring to the pro-rata refund:

        Section 12.1 e

        "you will be entitled to a refund of the unexpired portion of any
        amounts you have paid in advance for the service"

        'So to time the gc on day 46 (for examples sake) and cancel the order of events is'
        Activation date + 17 days give notice to cancel in 30 days
        Activation date + 46 days receive giftcard
        Activation date + 47 days disconnected.

                        1. The Black Friday internet offer is available to new Origin internet residential customers who sign up online to a “Experience 50” (nbn™ or fibre) plan or higher (an Eligible Plan) between 9am EST on 26 November 2021 and 11:59pm EST on 28 November 2021, (Offer Period).

                        So just new to origin internet. Open to both new and existing origin energy customers.

                          @dwhes: I agree with you. It's baffling that they wouldn't know their own business. I have just signed up with Aussie Broadband. No fuss and organised in 20 mins. I was on the phone with Origin for 30mins and I got nowhere with the agent.

    The delayed connections says you'll be connected after the day you choose, so I need to pick 1 day earlier than my ideal day?
