      Yeah Belong's billing date is on the 1st of every month. If cancelled before the first invoice, you will get billed 1 month usage.

      Pro tip: Activate your nbn from the 2nd of a month to get the remaining of that month free, your first invoice at the 1st of second month will cover the full length of the second month.

        This trick still works? They closed that loophole with their mobile service. You get charged on the day your service is activated. No more billing dates whereby you could pull the same trick as above for NBN.

        This means 2 months free with this offer then? 1 month free (as above) + 1 month free from Belong.

          Worked for me, I activated mine beginning of last month and my first invoice this month covers 1 Dec to 31 Dec.

            @brick007123:

            Get one month on us

            Could you please confirm that you will get another free month from Belong as per your deal description?

            • brick007123 on 03/12/2021 - 10:16

              @DoctorCalculon: Hmm… How can I confirm it? I am currently with Belong, not a new customer…

            • ValuexHunter on 10/01/2022 - 20:42

              @DoctorCalculon: I asked a rep and they said they charge the part month before the first invoice.
              On the webpage it also says:
              "So if you signed up for Belong nbn on 15 November, we’ll issue your first bill on 1 December. This bill will include your full monthly charge, plus a part month charge depending on the number of days between when your service activates and the start of your bill cycle."

              • DoctorCalculon on 11/01/2022 - 00:33

                @ValuexHunter:

                I asked a rep and they said they charge the part month before the first invoice.

                So, no more free billing months from Belong.

      • RHSteven on 03/12/2021 - 09:52

        doesn't make sense to me, isn't it you will be charged the 2nd month as well while getting 1 month credit only.

        • bargain_knight on 03/12/2021 - 13:15

          I have previously taken advantage of a similar offer and can confirm your contract does not begin until the beginning of the next month as previously mentioned. So start today, your contract and billing will actually start 1 January for which you will receive a billing credit. So effectively two months free.

          Also 25 Mbps is actually the 50mbps nbn plan throttled to that speed. So upload is actually 20mbps.

      Can you please elaborate a bit more in this? I got same modem as well, what does root do?

      • brick007123 on 03/12/2021 - 09:42

        Mostly to unlock functionalities such as using a modified GUI with extra features.

        • JungliChilli on 03/12/2021 - 09:45

          Interesting any idea if theres a root for 4353 modem? I wasn't able to find it when I looked for it previously

        • kelasen on 03/12/2021 - 10:07

          Thanks that's really helpful. How do I know if Technicolor DWA0122 works with other NBN carrier without rooting?

            +1

            @kelasen: Technicolor DWA0122 from Belong is not locked, so it will works with other NBN provider out of box without rooting.

      • aaronaldo on 03/12/2021 - 09:43

        Usually unlocks options which the ISP might have restricted, like being able to change configuration so you can use the modem with other ISPs, or even access to the USB port if they had locked that.

        It also opens up the opportunity to load custom firmware onto it.

      Did someone say Belong were the cheaper cousins of Telstra? They just forgot to mention the daylight robbery part.

      • Jimbuscus on 03/12/2021 - 14:56

        Belong is a full subsidiary of Telstra, they keep it distant to avoid losing customers to their cheaper brand.

    • striker5950 on 03/12/2021 - 10:47

        -1

        Not sure about above deal but it’s $79 for 100/20 any day via Mate. So I am not sure where people are seeing the value in Belong, apart from one month free and a modem that is not so useful if you want proper speeds.

        If you really want 250/20, there’s a targeted offer of $83.30/month for 24 months.

  • SkoMo on 03/12/2021 - 09:20

    Just keep a note that their support is not great and they don't have telephonic assistance. Call centers located overseas.

      Agreed you can't phone Belong, but they do call back with sms notice a few minutes before they call.

      I requested to opt out of CGNAT via their web form. Got a call from the lower level call center staff who have no clue what it is, then escalated to another call from their more experienced Australian tech support to resolve the issue. Still pretty happy with the experience.

      • tumsum on 08/12/2021 - 08:55

    • SkoMo on 03/12/2021 - 09:26

      If you are on month to month then no minimum stay. On annual contract you get $5 less per month.

      • JungliChilli on 03/12/2021 - 09:46

        It doesn't seem like they have the contract discount anymore :(

  • samwise_777 on 03/12/2021 - 09:27

      Vote them out.

    • kungfuman on 03/12/2021 - 12:34

      because you have FTTN you internet will suck, you won't get that speed. Move to an area with FTTP.

    I have had nothing but poor experience with Belong, during Covid they turned off their telephone support and went to a "submit a service request" format. was constantly getting dropouts and by the time they would get back to me after the service request the internet would be back on and they would say there was no problem….

    switched to Aussie broadband who actually went through troubleshooting and organised for NBN to come out and look at my connection.

    • morestuff on 03/12/2021 - 09:39

      Belong is owned by Telstra.

      When I was with Telstra NBN I had continual outages. Each time I contacted them I had to deal with an Indian call centre, where I wasted between half an hour and an hour as they pretended to deal with the issue.

      I kept a log of it all - 23 times in 3 months.( Plus regular overcharging).

      It was useful to keep a log as I was able to send this to the ombudsman. Ended up with about $1500 in compensation.

        I have accumulated a couple of various FTTN modem routers that I keep as backup over the years. But the oldest one (iiNet TG-1) is still going strong on the modem function (bridge mode)….. Perhaps it's time to just let others have these free modems.

      Modem is rubbish. I have lots of issues with it. I regularly need to turn it off and on again. It seems to stop transmitting internet to some devices randomly.

      I need to switch to a new modem.

      • BlueSkyAPI on 03/12/2021 - 21:18

        The modem component for these combo modem-router-accesspoint is usually decent. Random lockups are usually related to the routing function. Put them into bridge mode and run a separate router goes a long way. Enthusiasts usually stay clear of the routers sold in big box stores (JBHifi / HarveyN,etc). Try use something like pfSense/OPNSense if you have the time to learn how to configure them. It's not uncommon for commercial grade routers to stay on for years except for some software upgrades requiring a reboot.

    I've been with Belong for a couple of years now, FTTN in Maribyrnong on their old $55 soft capped plan. Been quite happy with them including with their prompt support during a recent outage (got an NBN tech out to me within a couple of days who sorted it out).

    That being said, these new prices are pretty average. If I was ever kicked off the $55 plan I'd probably bite the bullet and go for 100/20 with Mate.

  • mangobango on 03/12/2021 - 10:21

    I was with Belong for 2 years, signed up initially for the free modem but never really had an issue with them.

    A couple of dropouts but that was on NBN's part (the cabling on my box need replacing).

    It was a good bargain at $55 for 30/20, but now you have to pay more for less…

    Worth signing up now though just for the free modem I suppose.

    So I signed up today with the code. Will I get charged for the first month? If the billing period is from 1st of the month when should I cancel or churn to maximize the free 1 month offer?

    My understanding is if it gets activated today (3/12) I'll only start getting charged from next month. So effectively the Rest of December is free. But do I get the credit applied against my January bill which would make the whole of January also free? What's the cancellation notice period?

  • TigerWoops on 03/12/2021 - 11:58

    I used Belong for 7 years with lots of slow down and they supplied two modems to fix the problem. Sometimes I couldn't use internet due to slow down. A few month ago I switched other ISP and so far no issues with steady speed. I regret to switch early stage. Never recommend Belong.

  • mrsuper12 on 03/12/2021 - 12:13
