    • netsurfer on 15/12/2021 - 21:07

      If you leave within 24 months, simply return your modem or pay $200 non-return fee.

      That's Tel$tra's so called "no" lock-in contract. I guess return the modem is a good option. Wish Telstra would offer BYO.

      • sunnyc on 15/12/2021 - 21:13

        just plug your own no? or plug another ethernet cable from telstra modem to your modem?

        • netsurfer on 15/12/2021 - 21:15

          Well, it is more about wanting $2 for 2 months and not wanting to bother with returning the modem. Is Telstra going to provide a return postage? If not, we are looking at around $15-$20 to post it back.

          • sunnyc on 15/12/2021 - 21:15

            @netsurfer: I havent had a isp not provide the return postage bag. I just keep them for a rainy day and they normally dont ask for it

            • netsurfer on 15/12/2021 - 21:18

              @sunnyc: What? Normally, stores only provide them when they know you intend to return it. Telstra pay provide one, but I doubt Telstra would proactively provide one in advance.

    • netsurfer on 15/12/2021 - 21:20

      If you don't have VOIP line with ABB, then once your churn to Telstra, ABB would know, but you can contact ABB to be sure. ABB's service is quite good even if you informed them you intend to move to someone else.

      • Twix on 15/12/2021 - 21:30

        The exception being FTTP and fixed wireless where you can access four ISPs at the same time. The new ISP usually gets connected on a spare nbn NTD port and you will get billed for two services until you cancel.

    • theredrabitt on 15/12/2021 - 21:24
      +1

      No, you don't. Actually that's the preferred method AFAIK to let the new ISP 'forcibly takeover' (my words) the connection. Otherwise if you cancel with your current provider it's treated as a disconnected service and could take an additional 24-48 hours to get connected. At least this was my personal experience (and suggested by some providers) are I've churned the past few years.

Can they skip the included modem bit and go straight to the free months if they rejoin?

    I was with Telstra for 15 months, their NBN is really good, but it failed me a few times, service was really bad, even worse than lower companies, that lead me to go to Optus, which was way better NBN and unbelievable friendly and fast service.

    For existing Telstra NBN customers - do contact live chat via the Telstra app. Ask if you can get the $2 for 2 months deal. The Telstra person I chatted with said they can’t help me, but for being a loyal customer, they gave me a $10 credit off per month. No mention of how many months discount, but I am happy with the outcome.

    Can anyone point out to me where it says you can return the modem to avoid having to pay it out (if you leave within the 24 months)?

    When I click on the details popup link, it says:

    If you leave within 24 months pay out the modem ($9/mth for every month remaining in the first 24 mths).

      "If you leave within 24 months, return your modem or pay a $200 non return fee."

      Also says it if you click "Compare Plans."

    Can we return the modem to a telstra store?

    • netsurfer on 16/12/2021 - 22:18

      No, in fact, for today's $2 deal, for some reason, the CSR I spoke to insisted on there is a minimum cost (for that modem). Yesterday, the page states it is possible to return the modem to avoid paying for it, but today, after the update, I cannot see it anymore. I tried to ask about returning the modem, but he basically indicated there is no such thing as per terms and conditions.

      The CSR reminded me there is a monthly modem repayment fee. Granted, it is possible the CSR I spoke to has no idea, but I don't want to risk it. I know Telstra. While it is possible to go through the complaint process, it is time consuming.

      I was thinking about asking that 30 day satisfaction guarantee deal, but decided not to. Not happy Telstra pulled this stunt of removing the choice to return the modem and not needing to pay for the remaining cost.

    • sunnyc on 20/12/2021 - 19:21

      Sorry 4G?

      • bashar20 on 20/12/2021 - 22:34

        4G backup is meant to work out if the box which is a big misleading claim.

        Connect sooner
        The in-built pre-activated SIM card can connect to our mobile network right out of the box so you can get online even before your home network is activated. This means you can browse using your home broadband allowance – and make and receive calls if you’re on the nbn™ network – when you first receive your modem.

    • PissLUR on 23/12/2021 - 19:33

      mine works as advertised. how did you go with your connection now?

      • bashar20 on 24/12/2021 - 10:50

        4G backup still doesn’t work.
        NBN connected. But the idiots provisioned on UNI-D2 where I specifically asked them to enable it as a new service and not transfer existing.
        Dealing with support they breached other users data.
        They claimed 4G had an outage.
        They claimed 4G backup doesn’t work until NBN is enabled.
        They avoided answering straight forward questions.
        And finally won’t escalate the case, despite my multiple requests.
        Everyone I dealt with was incompetent.

          Same issue, called the rep multiple times.

          Finally got a solution.

          I went to buy a $2 telstra sim and added to same telstra account.

          Called the rep and request data on new sim.

          Put new sim in telstra moderm. The backup function working now.

          • bashar20 on 31/12/2021 - 16:22

            @leexm101: With original modem, blue light would switch on indicating 4g backup is connected but I was not getting any internet throughput.
            With the replacement modem they sent me, it never connects to 4g failback.
            I have an open complaint since over a week with zero contact from Telstra.

                tried creating new profile to ipv4/ipv6 but still no internet.

                Support keep blaming other factors like " 4G backup doesn’t work until NBN is enabled"

Was told to buy $2 sim and they will add data and plug into the smart modem. Did that and it still didn't work. Different csr giving different rubbish excuses and information. What an absolute joke of customer service and network can't wait to leave after the 2 months. Had to cancel Aussie broadband before Xmas so relying on a 4g modem I had spare to use as my internet. Crappy speeds. Still waiting for their so called IT department to look into the issue why nbn not activated

        Well, I plugged it into the NBN, but its possible you just need to power it up. It has a sim card in it, so it potentially can connect over the mobile network.

        It certainly doesn't need to be connected permanently (thank god. It overheated and shutdown 5 minutes after being connected) as its working fine with my normal router.
