Help with Choosing an ISP for nbn FTTP

Hi all looking for some help for an ISP for the new home that has FTTP.

Budget is $100 per month.

Mostly use it for downloading games, streaming 4k content to my tv and general browsing etc.

What plan/ which provider would you suggest.

From my research it looks like superloops 250/25 plan for $100 is the fastest for that money.

Any help is be grateful for.

Thank you.

    Aussie Broadband.

    • But their 250 plans is much more expensive

  • 250/25 is only available to FTTP and HFC premises. Do you have FTTP or HFC?

      FTTP

      • Very nice! For 250/25 under $100 go with Superloop.

    For what it's worth I recently signed up with Superloop and have found them to be good value and had no issues other than nbn cancelling their connection appointment which was out of their hands anyway.

    Aussie Broadband.

    No congestion, Australian call centre, Australian owned.

    • Only thing is for $100 I'll only be able to get 100/20

      • You need to use google more. As you can get 250/25 for under $100.

          My psychic power tells me OP wants unlimited plan.

        • The only one I've found is superloop but happy to be proven wrong

            @omdd: So you agree.

              @AndyC1: I agree with what exactly?
              As I said originally the only 250/25 I can find is superloop for under $100.
              If you have another option I'm happy to give you credit for it.

    • Iinet about $10 month cheap , not the favourite in OzB, haven't had any congestion in my area and SA call center with accent lol

    I've used TPG NBN100 for 2 years. $90/m
    Zero issues..Never needed to call their call centre.
    Always 97-102mbps all day everyday.

    I switched to Superloop NBN100 recently. $70/m
    Same as above. I've just checked speed now, 99-101mbps. Hasn't let me down.

    People that say Aussie BB is better and love to pay more because of Aussie call centre. Why would you need to call in the first place if the internet should be working?

    Also I stream 4K content in 3 screens at same time and hasn't been an issue. Not really sure if you need 250 plan but if you want it go for it.

    • While everyone saying how good is ABB, I been saving around $120/ year plus they even ditch my new drilling connection fee while ago.
      I probably called their call center once or twice for last few years. Day time, once got the Aussie call center instead of SA.

    • Won't superloop NBN100 revert back to $90/m after 6 months anyway?

    Superloop, ABB, Future Broadband, or Launtel are solid choices.

    Stay away from My Republic.

    I was with their 1000/50 plan on FTTP.
    At night I’d barely get 50mbps.

    Switched over to AussieBB

    I would look at Future Broadband - they have a couple of promos at for January: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/95pn5q6l

    Fixed Line NBN – Monthly Rates after $35 Setup
    NBN 12/1 Flatrate Data+Phone Bundle – $60pm ($40 for the first 12 months)
    NBN 25/10 Flatrate Data+Phone Bundle – $70pm ($50 for the first 12 months)
    NBN 50/20 Flatrate Data+Phone Bundle – $85pm ($65 for the first 12 months)
    NBN 100/40 Flatrate Data+Phone Bundle – $110pm ($90 for the first 12 months)

    After the 12 months, you can pay up front for 6mths and get 7.5% discount, so $101.75 for the 100/40 plan.

    Yes, there's a $35 setup fee, but the stability and reliablity make it well worth it.

  • someone was telling me they are happy with TPG getting 400 down and only $60 per month. I didnt believe it but didnt care enough to look into it.

  • why Aussie Broadband? looking at the data they don't seem anything special, bit overpriced tbh

    • They used to be better in latency, had few sign up promos and Aussie call center, which makes ozb favourite.

      • They also publicly share their CVC capacity. Very transparent. AND on my PoP at least their capacity is always higher than their demand, so it's also clear they buy enough capacity to actually cover their customer's use.
