    Fttc upgrade to fttp would be nice without paying the nbn thousands of dollars.
    Does anyone know when the on demand free upgrades will start?

    • Twix on 29/12/2021 - 10:34

      FTTC to FTTP trial SAMs from the 14th March 2022 in Revesby, Sydney Springwood and Kogarah NSW. For the rest in NSW the nbn roadmap says Q2 2022.

    • BanannaMan on 29/12/2021 - 16:06

      End of 2022

    • Warehouse on 29/12/2021 - 16:56

      I'm in one of the suburbs listed here: https://www.nbnco.com.au/corporate-information/media-centre/…

      Anyone know the actual process to put in a request for the "on demand" free upgrade?

      There seems to be absolutely no way to contact NBN Co directly about this… and my telco reps (Optus) have no idea everytime I've asked the question…

      I''m currently on FTTN 100/40 so technically should meet the requirements.

      Any assist would be much appreciated.

      • Twix on 29/12/2021 - 17:23

        You don't deal with nbn. Basically you signup to at least 100/20 with a participating ISP in Q2 2022 and nbn subcontractors come out to install the fibre cable and fibre NTD.

        • Warehouse on 29/12/2021 - 18:15

          Ohk, thanks for the clarification. I assume I should be fine being on 100/40 already.. or would I have to eg cancel and re-signup to trigger the subcontractors to come out?

          • Twix on 29/12/2021 - 18:33

            @Warehouse: You need to request FTTP. Signing up to at least 100/20 is enough to get the install done. Cancel FTTN after FTTP is installed.

            • Warehouse on 30/12/2021 - 12:25

              @Twix: That's where I'm confused. Who do I request FTTP from? Optus tells me I can only have FTTN at my premises…

              Is there an ISP that "gets it"? I'll change overnight if it means I can get upgraded to FTTP… Will FBB do it?

              • Twix on 30/12/2021 - 12:50

                @Warehouse: Your FTTP request goes to the ISP. The participating ISPs aren't announced at this stage. Changing to Future BB won't give you FTTP until maybe next year.

  • ValouSydney on 29/12/2021 - 10:40

    That's not cheap… Better use my Republic you can get an unlimited 1gbs connection for less!
    And evening speed are great!

    myRepublic is variable depending on the area. Some people luck out, others have had a crap experience.

  • SimAus007 on 29/12/2021 - 10:49
    +10

    My Republic is good if you reside in Sydney and the surrounding area, but they don't have POP's in other cities, so the latency is poor elsewhere.
    Regarding this deal, the $35 setup fee is odd, I've never paid a setup fee on NBN as NBN don't charge RSP's, so that's just a money grab.
    Long term pricing is good however :)
    Who's POP's do they use? This is important to know.

    • Twix on 29/12/2021 - 10:56
      +2

      Future BB uses AAPT / TPG.

      • SimAus007 on 29/12/2021 - 10:57

        Cheers, that's perfect then.
        A shame about that $35 set-up fee or I'd jump on this.

        • Ruprect on 29/12/2021 - 13:09

          I joined when the setup fee with twice that (a charge typical of business connections) and its now ancient history. Been with them for several years and its just been a consistent high quality connection. No slow downs or dropouts. Minimal if any disruption due to maintenance. Completely drama free. No CGNAT with a fully routed IP address so it suited my needs perfectly.

      • Twix on 29/12/2021 - 14:06

      It’s a saving of $24/month so after 1.5 months the $35 set up fee is recouped.

    i see datacaps mentioned on some plans is this offer uncapped?

  • Grange Hermit on 29/12/2021 - 11:22

    Been with FBB for over a year, and very happy. This new deal is only for new customers, so not applicable to me, :(.

    But they offer a great service on AAPT / TPG network, inc a static IP address at no extra cost. They're a small Perth based outfit, but they know their stuff.

    • AliensStoleMyMoney on 29/12/2021 - 11:30

      can you comment om whats needed for their setup fee? cant remember the last time i saw one.

      how is their online portal? (using MATES) which leaves alot to be desired but im on 89 pm atm and that runs out soon

      • Grange Hermit on 29/12/2021 - 13:39

        Can't recall the setup fee, assume it was the $35. The portal is basic, but has all the pertinent info you need. Traffic history, databank status, connection details etc. Jason the CEO is very responsive via Whirlpool, and often updates portal content based on user requests.

        All in all very happy on my $79 pm 100 / 40 250Gb deal, (no longer available).

        • Ham Dragon on 29/12/2021 - 14:10

          Second this. FBB have been great from the get go. I am in Brisbane and get excellent speeds, day & night on HFC.

        • AliensStoleMyMoney on 29/12/2021 - 15:48

          do we know if this deal is unlimited data?

    • prashmohan on 29/12/2021 - 14:32

      Is there an advantage to using the "AAPT/TPG" network?

      • Grange Hermit on 29/12/2021 - 14:44

        A claimed benefit is that since FBB use AAPT / TPG business network, when the business users log off on weekday cob, there's more capacity for us home users in our evening home hours.

      • Ruprect on 29/12/2021 - 14:45

        Because it is a network used by business it has a more generous CVC allowance. Evening peak is not an issue as many businesses are closed so lots of capacity in the network. The routed static IP included in the price is an advantage for those running a server, some games, security cameras etc.

      I'd say enjoy it while it lasts. 5G is a shared service and will slow down.

      $35 setup fee is a scam. The whole thing is pretty much automated. I haven't heard of any other providers charging for setup.

      • Ruprect on 29/12/2021 - 15:10

        This is not like any other provider. The resell AAPT IP connections that usually only businesses buy. AAPT charge a setup fee which is passed along. A "routed" static IP is not something that's automated.

      • ujwols on 29/12/2021 - 16:20

    No offense OP, just trying to help out the community in finding good bargains.

    On MyRepublic for the 250/25Mbps is 89/mth for the first 6 months, then 99 ongoing. This is with 0 setup fees. Unlimited data too. Even for the 1000/50Mbps it's 99/mth for the first 6 months, then 109 ongoing. I don't see how this is a bargain

        Not sure if it is the same with other provider. But MR says typical speed at peak is 300 for the 1000 plan. Might as well stay with the 250 plan and get 200.

    I switched to FBB from ABB when this deal was around last time.

    Speed is consistent, but not as good as ABB due to over provisioning. I get 240 or so on FBB and was getting 270 on ABB.

    No real issues. Ping times over east (I'm from Perth) are a few ms higher in some games.

    Overall I'm happy for the price, but not blown away.

    • Mintchip on 29/12/2021 - 13:57

      I had the opposite experience, I’m on the east coast though. ABB speeds would vary wildly, often dipping to 180 or so. FBB so far has been consistently around 240. Haven’t done much assessment of latency yet but it’s not as high a priority for me.

    • shutuptakemymoney101 on 29/12/2021 - 18:47

      I felt the same way but against my better judgement at the time I signed up anyway to try them out, I've been a Future Broadband customer now for going on 3 years - all I could do was shake my head when Covid began and many of my work from home workmates with other RSP's were struggling with their connections, to be honest I never even experienced a slow down in speed and that's with the wife working from home too having Teams meetings frequently.

          That's a shame, a code will reduce the sign up fee to $0 for anyone considering the other Future Broadband offerings.

    How is this a bargain when My Republic is cheaper per month and doesn't charge a set up fee

      Myrepublic isn't in the same class as FBB. I switched to FBB from ABB after we used them at work for a 1000/1000 enterprise connection. When covid hit they were very generous to extend a discount to services which weren't being used at the time. They didn't have to do that but did it as a gesture of goodwill. I thought I'd pay them back in a small way by moving my home connection to them. 1000/50 connection for $145. The FBB team is based in Perth and are extremely helpful in getting up and running (I initially had some issue due to the VLAN settings). The speeds are always fast day or night, static ip is provided as standard, and you get a VOIP line (if required) at no extra cost.

    Is there an NBN imposed limit on offering these plans to FTTC customers?

    Is there a way of determining the theoretical max your lead in would support instead?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/12/2021 - 12:26

      No maximum, your ISP will buy CVC from NBN and sell to their subscribers
      Your ISP should tell you if the speed is not supported at your address, otherwise you can ask for a refund to the appropiate speed

      nbn don't allow anything over 100/40 on FTTC. nbn was going to upgrade FTTC to support Gigabit however nbn decided FTTP is the next step. FTTC to FTTP trial SAMs from the 14th March 2022 in Coburg and Seaford VIC. For the rest in VIC the nbn roadmap says starting in Q2 2022.

        I may be in one of those areas. How do I make it happen?

        Also, thank you for your knowledge :D

          When the time comes you contact a participating ISP and signup to at least 250/25.

    The static IP is a plus here!

    Any good deals going on 100/20 or 100/40 guys?

  • theguyrules on 29/12/2021 - 13:05

    Thanks, I've been waiting for this. I am paying $149 for gigabit on ABB but I was happy with 250 previously.
