    Can we connect for the month then cancel without penalty? I have a Launtel FTTP connection so I could pause that, use this, then go back to Launtel.

    • MeerkatWongy on 27/04/2022 - 10:43
      +3

      Yes you can (without penalty just before the trial ends on the portal). I used this in the past and I am still with Launtel too.
      I had issues cos Launtel is on my main port of the NBN NTD box. Had to get ABB (on the phone) to connect on port 2 while my other was on pause.
      ABB Speed is decent. I opt'd for 1000/50.

      • ValouSydney on 27/04/2022 - 11:13

        How long does it take to activate the connection?

        • MeerkatWongy on 27/04/2022 - 11:21

          I did this around December last year. It was pretty much instant once you do all the paperwork.

      You can have multiple FTTP connections set up (they just connect to the next available UNI-D port on the connection box). Just switch your ethernet cable over to the one that ABB set it up on when it's active.

    • Quotationz on 27/04/2022 - 12:49

      Launtel is way better than Aussie. Not worth the headache of swapping tbh.

      • Miss B on 28/04/2022 - 00:21

        This was my experience too. Aussie used to be good a few years ago. On FTTP and I wasn't getting close to the speed I was paying for on Aussie for quite a while, getting pretty close on Launtel. Origin being Aussie is as bad, but sticking it out for the 2 months free before going back to Launtel.

        • Quotationz on 28/04/2022 - 07:48

          Yeah I agree. Not sure why I was downvoted. I've been with multiple ISPs and Aussie weren't great. Drop outs, slow speeds and outages frequently - all ISP related. Launtel has been flawless and customer service perfect.

          I kinda wonder whether the fact Aussie Broadband has a large customer base who is fairly tech savvy means that their users use more bandwidth than the typical Telstra user. If Aussie Broadband have that issue then so do a lot of the other small ones so not excusing them. I do like their transparency (with CVC allocation) though

      • Justaddgrum on 01/05/2022 - 12:45

        Ooo. I haven't heard of them before. Their prices look decent. I'll look at moving over once these free months are finished!

          I regularly move from superloop, ABB and mate (mainly to take advantage of any discounts / offers etc). Currently with SL haven’t had any issues and not much difference to ABB.

        • DraftPunk on 27/04/2022 - 12:03

          I was with Aussie previously, which I dropped for Superloop. I've found them to be pretty good. Few more dropouts than I had with Aussie, but not sure if this is due to NBN or Superoop. Still worth the price difference IMO.

        • tessel on 27/04/2022 - 12:09

          I moved from Telstra to Superloop. No difference for me at all.

          I've been with Superloop since January and haven't had an issue. currently on their 100/20 plan (I have FTTC) and get my max speeds pretty much all the time. Will see what they offer me after the 6 month promo finishes and if it isn't competitive, I'll go elsewhere.

        • Slo20 on 27/04/2022 - 14:30

          I previously alternated between Superloop and Aussie every 6 months to benefit from the ‘new customer’ deals. I’ve now stuck with Superloop for last 8+ months. For me both services have been on par. The reason I have stayed with Superloop is they are now cheaper for me, especially as a few ozbargainers have randomly selected my referral which knocks 10% off your monthly fee.

          • FXD on 27/04/2022 - 15:07

            @Slo20: You have to have been out of Superloop for 12 months to take advantage of new customer deals, it's quite annoying.

            • Heybargain on 27/04/2022 - 16:46

              @FXD: Not quite. Sign up using a different name and you can apply any discounts. It works I’m on my second 6 month deal with SL but using a different name same address.

          • Heybargain on 27/04/2022 - 16:47

          I moved from Aussie broadband to super loop one month ago and have found the connection to be more stable. I’m not writing off Aussie broadband though, I think there is so much variability in user experience that relates to the peculiarities of your own connection that it really is a matter of testing it out for yourself.

        Doubt prices would drop, they still have to pay off the debt and to fund the never ending amount of upgrades for the MTM. The only thing I would expect is for FTTP to be treated like FTTP and actually offer full upload speed.

          No, Labor won't change the NBN in any way if they get in. The best you're getting is 400 up, and the price on that won't change.

          • regenade on 27/04/2022 - 20:14

            @[Deactivated]: Labour just need to change the wording from Chorus to nbn. Just maintain existing speed tiers and give us a triple/quadruple boost with no change to wholesale prices. Problem is there are vested mobile carriers who won't let NBN do this.

              @regenade: The Libs could do it too, neither of them will. NBN is a dead issue. The current issue is aged care for Labor. Libs are kind of saying how bad Labor would be, illegal boats, and not changing in the middle of the non crisis that is COVID. Absolutely no one is talking about NBN. The last time Labor did comment on NBN, it was to say they won't change anything.

              The main interest is money. NBN want to make money. Both parties want them to make money. NBN are of the mistaken belief that people will want to pay more year on year for internet.

              They could just give everyone the best they could get, and charge a flat rate. They won't do that either. They prefer the race to the bottom and the current system.

                This isn't true at all. It's in LNP's interest to keep FTTP throttled otherwise it could give the MTM a bad look. The best example of this is why did they take until 2020 to offer Gigabit speeds over FTTP for a realistic price? There is no technical reason why they couldn't have done it many years earlier, all that potential revenue thrown away.

                  @BROKENKEYBOARD: Why didn't they do it under Labor? There was absolutely no reason why it couldn't have launched like that. They didn't think the demand was there, and for the handful of people they imagined would want it, they expected them to pay a massive price for it.

                  • BROKENKEYBOARD on 28/04/2022 - 14:40

                    @[Deactivated]: Maybe other parts of the infrastructure didn't have the capacity yet, maybe they wanted to gauge how the network handles it first, maybe they too are idiots but looking at other GPON roll outs around the world like in New Zealand they also didn't offer Gigabit initially, only after a year or so they offered it.

      as much as I don't like OZ's internet price/speed, I have to say Australia is physically much larger than NZ/Korea, they need a lot shorter cable, and lesser routing station to develop their network hence less budget required.

      • CoronavirusVaccine on 03/05/2022 - 23:08

        OZ is definitely physically larger than NZ/Korea, no question about that. The financial economics has a lot to do with population density - characteristically both NZ and OZ the majority population lives in the cities and the regionals are sparsely populated, with long distance between the cities. Within the cities the urban planning is similar for both NZ and Australia with urban sprawls and some medium density housing sprinkled throughout. Both don't have the extensive high density apartments like the big Asian cities.

        NBN is levying the city dwellers to pay for coverage in the bush. I don't know if NZ also had the similar ambition to provide universal coverage outside the cities. Does anyone know?

        I was so jealous when an acquaintance in NZ told me the price/speed they were paying for fibre connections. Stark contrast with me being stuck on crappy FTTN.

  • Gururek on 27/04/2022 - 10:56

    ABB is but a shadow of it's former self, they seem set on becoming the next Telstra by raising prices claiming to be the superior choice and dropping services like support. I'm sure they're still a solid choice for performance for now, but hope you don't require REAL(technical issues requiring NBN) assistance.
    I've stopped shopping around for the best deal and have gone back to Launtel, one of the last real ISPs that aim for performance, service and quality.

        Milage may vary, as always. Speaking generally, a lot of people get a service they're happy with from most places, whether it be actually what they're paying for or blissful ignorance. So there will always be kick back when someone says something negative about anything.
        If you look around, such as Whirlpool you'll find similar comments varying signs that they've gone downhill since their glory days. But at the end of the day, if you have them and you're happy, then all the best to you and hopefully it stays that way.

        • Jimothy Wongingtons on 27/04/2022 - 11:41

          Launtel looks to be decently priced actually - probably will drop ABB in another month and move from 1000/50 at ABB to Launtel 1000/50

        • neonlight on 29/04/2022 - 08:12

          Yeah ABB not as good anymore and their price is not worth it. Their links to Asia is poor so much lag. Launtel and Superloop heaps better I'm talking 120ms vs 250ms

    • MeerkatWongy on 27/04/2022 - 11:17

      I was about to change from Launtel to ABB purely because of the cost difference to save $$ and justify the costs. I used to be on 25/5 until one day, it disappeared from the portal…where I have always been changing the speeds from 25/5 to 100/40 regularly. Now, stuck on 50/20 as the minimum, quite annoyed tbh.

      After reading your comment, I have realised it pays to have good technical support as Damo (Launtel) is very transparent and has good customer service. FWIW, I guess it pays a little bit more for good local support.

    • Subada on 27/04/2022 - 11:23

      Had my mum's internet drop out, lodged a fault with Aussie on their app late afternoon and they got back to me early the next morning with some questions. Booked in an NBN tech at the next available time which was in two days. Tech came out and fixed the issue no worries.

      Was a pretty simple fix but couldn't really complain. Response time could've been faster but considering I didn't call them on the phone I'm pretty happy with it.

      In your experience were they worse?

      • sween64 on 27/04/2022 - 13:27

        I called ABB the other dag and the wait time was less than a minute. They had erroneously shaped my dad’s service (and he deleted the email without reading it) it was fixed without hassle and they provided a pro-rata credit for the days the service was super.

    • tessel on 27/04/2022 - 12:20

      Except Launtel in Tas costs $102 a month for 50/20. I know why and I used to be with them but I'm not paying that much regardless of support or where they are based. Superloop is fine for me and my Telstra connection was actually cheaper than what Launtel could offer.

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 27/04/2022 - 13:18

      Every business needs to price to cover their costs plus a reasonable return. If ABB can keep raising price but provide good service to keep their customers from churning away then good for them.

      Each customer values their own time differently. For those who has the time to churn to take advantage of the low prices then that's good for them also

  • daleroy1234 on 27/04/2022 - 11:38

    I have been with Superloop, ABB and currently with FBB.

    Didn't find much difference with Superloop and ABB. Had a touch more latency issues in the evening with Superloop.

    ABB over-provision on the speed, so they were a bit quicker, was getting 270Mb/a on the 250/25 plan. But FBB has been pretty rock solid for me, and at $110 a month for 250/25 unlimited, it was a no brainer compared to $129 from ABB

  • jamestas on 27/04/2022 - 12:37

    I left Launtel a while ago when they had data caps on their plans abd moved to ABB.
    Just had a look and can see that Launtel now offer unlimited data - which is great news and the way forward

    The Launtel crew were amazing to deal with, their local response to issues was really apprecaited. I was up and going in no time.
    It was just a bit pricey back then and the data caps an issue for me.

    That said, when I moved to ABB I was also very impressed with their response times to isses on my latest FTTN debacle (broken pair) and they are always delivering top speed to us here in Tassie, watching the CVC. (Probably not as good as Launtel, but still an awsome provider compared to others I've tried).

    ABB are still cheaper pre month for me and deliver above what I need with consistency and response for help (you talk to someone in Australia that will try to fix the issue while you are on the line). I also took up shares in their offer so keen to stick with them as they are having a crack.

      NBN services often operate like a prepaid mobile service in that you pay in advance when the billing month starts. There isn't that much credit risk of the user incurring a large bill they can't afford. Because of this there isn't a a big need for credit check, and most providers don't do credit checks AFAIK.

      They might look at your credit history but that's not the same as a credit enquiry you get when applying for credit cards/ loans

    • pauly85 on 27/04/2022 - 14:47

    Attention origin BB customers, tried to sign up with AB last month with their then ongoing 1 month free thingy and they got back with below,

    We’ve had a small hiccup; we can see that you have placed a high-speed broadband order with us, but this has rejected on our end as we can see that you >already have a high-speed broadband connection at your property.

    Unfortunately, you can only have one high speed connection at an address and in order for us to proceed we need to have you carry out one of the following:
    • Cancel your high-speed connection / adjust to a lower plan that is currently in place, then we can submit our order accordingly.
    • Your confirmation that we can take over the existing service with the high-speed connection.

    Once we have received confirmation from you, we will re-submit your order immediately!

    Looks like origin BB customers are treated as existing customers.

      Unfortunately, you can only have one high speed connection at an address

      This is in regards to the 1.25gbit limit that is placed upon FTTP premises. NBNCo will reject the order on their end if you try to provision more than that on one NTD.

      It's either a hardware limitation and/or NBNCo reeeeaaaaallly don't want you trying to bond services together for >1gbit. (However absurdly expensive that would be)

      Nah this would be the same for any provider. ABB by default use an available port and not take over your existing one (to avoid downtime which can be a few days if things go wrong). The message is just saying you can’t have two 1gig connections simultaneously.
      You can either connect to 100mb then upgrade once you cancel your existing service, or let ABB know you are willing to let them take over.

      I'm with Origin and wasn't able to apply the code, so I called ABB and they applied it for me on the phone.

    Just signed yo with Tangerine using One big switch offer (i.e. $30 off for 1st month)…Hopefully if this offer is still open I can move out to this one from tangerine…

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 27/04/2022 - 13:27

      Can you share a link to this offer please?

      • s0805 on 27/04/2022 - 13:42

        Just call tangerine and tell them you want the offer what has been provided via One big switch…i think code is OBS30

    ABB is amazing - just hit 1yr with them.

    Provide plenty of notice of any outages and their Tech Support is unreal - spent 2hrs troubleshooting a stupid issue in my brothers apartment and Support was really knowledgeable and helpful.

    Optus would have just said 'ring an electrician' - was with them for 20yrs, hopeless, especially when NBN rolled out. Outages would last 5 days, no internet or landline.

    Im consistently getting 940/47.

      Yeah we've been with ABB for 2 years on 1000/50 and have never had a single issue or complaint. They are good and not going to fix what isn't broke. Get consistent 900+mbs on big patch updates.

        What about Linux distros?

          lol we mainly use it for big PS5 patches, don't even use it to it's full potential sadly.

  • Yuri Lowell on 27/04/2022 - 14:02

    Neither codes are working for me. Never had ABB at this address.

  • GregFiona on 27/04/2022 - 14:23

    Used the “moving” code for the $149 plan this morning.
    Activated in 30 minutes(from Vodafone to ABB)

    Any one here uses morenbn? Are they good?

    Looking to sign-up for morenbn to take advantage of CBA customer discount.

      In the same boat. Been having free internet since I moved to current address and next I have two months of Telstra for $2 (tesltra day deal). Will eventually move to More before offer expires by the end of the year.

    • jimjames on 01/05/2022 - 15:30

      Have been with them for the last 6 months on 100/20.

      Pretty uneventful (which is good) and speeds have been solid. Haven't had to use their customer service so can't comment on that side of things.

      I'll probably go back to them with the CBA offer after a free month on ABB
