For those of you who are currently on the Internode Easy Naked 30GB plan for $59.95 a month, they have a limited time special of 150GB for the same price (24 month commitment required).

Note
Unlike other Internode Easy Naked plans, please note that the new Easy Naked 150 Special plan is not 'bundled' with a VoIP service.

If you'd like to make and receive calls - and in many areas keep your existing phone number - we recommend our high quality, fully featured NodePhone VoIP service. Plans start from just $5 per month, with $10 monthly call credit.

    This should make a lot of people happy. Luckily we joined in Jan11 just before the 150GB was reverted to 30GB for the same price. Now to consider whether we extend the contract period or hope there are better offerings at that price point in Jan13. Thanks for posting OP.

    • geoffs87 on 12/05/2012 - 09:57

      We pay the extra tenner a month to waive upload usage data - works a treat for extending your 150gb a month :)

          some plans don't… and there are some options you can pay $10 more a month to have unlimited uploads.. which works well if you often use it as a server.

  • theguru1 on 12/05/2012 - 07:46

    We have been paying way too much (existing internode customer).

    • IVI on 12/05/2012 - 10:37

      I agree with you…

      What kind of ISP -downgrades- their plans from 150 GB to 30GB…?!?

      A friend has Internode & also uses their costly VoIP service for phone calls… I've never heard such -lousy- phone voice quality on a call…!

      Adam, etc. offer at -least- 100 GB for only $50… and -their- specials takes you up to 200GB. :-)

      (I suppose Internode would try to suggest that -its- special is a tripling to 150 GB
      while its competitor (Adam Internet & others) offer specials that double to 200 GB)

      I'm sure Mr Hackett -thanks- all internode customers for helping him buy his SECOND $100K Tesla (electric sports car)… & maybe even sees those $200K dollars as his contribution to help bring Australia to buying & using Electric Vehicles… admittedly, a worthy goal… if a highly inefficient way to achieve it.

        Internode is the best quality ISP I have ever used…never used Adam, they may be just as good, I know Telstra (who I'm currently with) sucks in comparison.

        You can't just compare prices and have a whinge, they have different networks (though I assume the inode and iinet networks have been combined by now).

    TPG is still way cheaper. I'll admit Internode had (when I was with them) great customer service and excellent up time, but lately TPG has been just as good as Internode ever was with a much better offering.

    I'm sticking with TPG, and I don't consider this a deal.

      • Moderator[Deactivated] on 12/05/2012 - 08:46

        Given that this is purely a subjective view point. make the comment which is totally correct, but voting negative on this isn't the right thing to do. Voting negative is to highlight a particular issue with a deal eg price is incorrect, deal is misrepresented etc.

        Negative votes were designed to help the board self moderate faulty deals. It wasnt to indicate popularity. Popularity is based on the number of positive votes. Absence of votes = low deal quality

        As a relatively new member you might want to check the wiki on how we use the negative vote here.

        Thanks

        • couger on 12/05/2012 - 08:51

          when tpg offer unlimited at the same price, and internode is only 150GB, I dont think this is a deal for most people.

        • Moderator[Deactivated] on 12/05/2012 - 09:00

          I tend to agree - but it's not that point that I am discussing.

          Comment all you like - as long as its not offensive - but understand how every board works, and what certain "features" are used for. That way we dont confuse people.

          There was NO criticism of the points the poster made.

          "When I use a word (or neg a deal), it means whatever I -want- it to mean." - Alice in Wonderland.

          Internode has LOTS of people who seem to go round protecting its high prices. Some see Whirlpool messages that express similar opinions about its prices (overcharging) REMOVED by mods

          I say -don't- bother folks who speak their minds on OzBarg… their are way too few places to dothat, in Au today…

          and we are better served to HEAR their dissenting opinions… than by though or Neg police.

          Who else speaks for customers? Who else should? :-)

        • Moderator[Deactivated] on 12/05/2012 - 11:47

          If everyone speaks their own language then how do we know what they are saying.

          People think this is censorship.

          WE NEVER said dont make a comment. Just its how you use the tools on this site. Dont confuse negative Comments with Negative Votes. Even Alice understands that (wink)

          The negative VOTE is a tool. To you its a popularity tool, but it wasn't ever set up that way. Its and editing tool, and as such it has some use.

          When there are a number of negative votes then a deal is generally hidden from view. It was designed in a powerful way to be a user moderation tool, which is a hell of a lot more powerful than just a voting tool. Unfortunately many dont read the rules of the game, they just think its their rules or no rules. sigh!

          And GUESS WHAT that also means your comments for/against are also HIDDEN so you are voting out your wisdom.

          People are smart enough to make their own decisions, if they have a chance to read the opinions posted. Using the negative vote doesnt given them that option

          As such thats why we say use it carefully.

          This is NOT Police tactics, its NOT censorship, it in essence gives voice to your dissenting opinion. and BTW its just an opinion, its not fact etc, as some people obviously do prefer another internet provider and not all need unlimited download capacity.

          And just to clarify something here, the vote (not the comment) has been retracted. No, NOT by a MOD, but by the community. You see if the community gives a negative voter more than 5 negatives, then this removes the negative. So a moderator hasn't imposed their will here. Its the community.

        • Postulative on 12/05/2012 - 16:53

          Ozpete, I think there may be some confusion. While it's not visible now I assume that scud70 negged the deal on the basis of a subjective view.

          Since that neg vote is no longer visible, I'm guessing posters further down the line are thinking you may be commenting on people negging scud70's comment, or simply don't see the basis for your comment.

          IVI, neg all you want - on your own comment boards. But you should be aware by now how Ozbargain works. Although going back to what I've already written, I think your comment may be based on confusion about ozpete's insertion into this discussion.

      • geoffs87 on 12/05/2012 - 09:56

        This is all relative. In some areas you cannot get line rental from TPG, so this deal actually make alot of sense for certain people. I tried to get TPG line rental / naked ADSL and they could not help in my area (and i live a 10min walk from Sydney CBD [Ultimo]) Telstra was redic expensive and so was optus, my options were Dodo and Internode, and at the time i was able to get the 150gb for $59.95. This was and is a great deal for people who other carriers cannot help, and Internode can. Positive from me for OP.

        • IVI on 12/05/2012 - 21:01

          The NBN = National Broadband Network is rolling out all over Australia…

          Sooner or later most of those who can't (now)get more affordable ADSL or Cable should be able to get an NBN-based fast Internet service, at a (hopefully) fair price.

          I -wouldn't- be -too- quick to commit to 2 years with Internode (or anyone else, with such an uncompetive prices), ie, -before- checking the new NBN-based prices - from several of the better, but modestly priced, ISP's, eg, at:

          PS A associate used to get cheap "unlimited" Internet service from Dodo, & - surprisingly- it worked well, was reasonably quick for an ADSL-2+ service… & they never complained about their usage.

          They -did- get some eMails about downloading others' IP… but they were silly enough to set up their WiFi router to use(risky/insecure) WAP, so lots of folks might have been able - since they're located on a hilltop - to use their service, after cracking the password. so I'm not sure if it was -their- usage that brought the eMails from Dodo, after all.

      People trying to compare this deal with TPG are ignoring congestion and customer service. Getting a decent download speed at peak times and being able to talk with a tech when things go wrong is more important to me than saving a few bucks a month.

      • UFO on 12/05/2012 - 10:47
        +4

        Exactly right.

        There's more to an internet provider than download limits. Latency, customer service when something goes wrong, and PEAK TIME performance are huge factors that a lot of people dont consider when comparing providers. I'd rather pay a couple of dollars extra and get a premium service… and that's what Internode is. People thinking that TPG is on par with Internode are deluding themselves.

        Dont believe me, have a look at this: http://whirlpool.net.au/survey/2010/

        Yeah it's a 2011 Survey, but until we see the 2012 one this is it.

        Anything relating to Customer Service, Tech Support, and Service Reliability have TPG well short of Internode.

        Yes yes…. the fanboi's always say "but the've gotten much better of late", but until I see an industry accepted 2012 review like Whirlpool's survey, I'd steer well clear of TPG if you are looking for a premium service.

        TPG isnt even in the same ballpark as Internode, fact.

          @IVI, leave the isp vs isp arguments to forums like whirlpool.

          this is specifically about internode's offer.

        • IVI on 12/05/2012 - 21:07

          That's a potentially useful survey, but speeds vary with location (something only Wireless ISP's can workaround, without costly "extreme" wired measures).

          And - again - not everybody "needs" the same level of service.

          Sure, most "big" Internet users think they do, as it their right.

          But I can imagine folks who are such "light" users that they want (& sometimes need) only "cheap" & reliable, ie, after any setting-up bugs are worked out, at the outset.

          They surely shouldn't pay "premium" prices, like Internode's, unless nobody else services their area (very unlikely).

      • [Deactivated] on 12/05/2012 - 15:25

        well as someone who had TPG for 3 yrs,
        then Internode for 7mths

        i would say TPG won on service hands down.
        Internode's famed service IMHO was over rated.
        Wait times for the numerous calls were never under 30mins,
        the their call back servce only seemed to kick in after 30-60mins
        If you've got Nkaed ADSL & have to ring a 13 number at $1/min
        waiting 30-60min is bloody expensive.

        It took 3 goes just to sign up (as the kept buggering it up & canceling).
        I had issues with drop out, which turned out to be incorrect setup on their Agile DSLAM
        (this took 2 weeks of constant disconnects & several calls to sort out)

        basically after 7mth into a 24mth contract I paid the termination fee as it had already spent over $200 on mobile calls to their help desk.

        TPG, on the occasions I had to call, I never waited more then 20mins, it was usually under 10mins.
        Sure their support was in Indo & there was sometimes a language barrier, but they were always polite & helpful. So to me I would go TPG over Internode any day.
        Their only saving grace was their unmetered sites & local support guys were quite nice & did try their best to help.

        As for this deal, I'm not sure how $60/mth for 150Gb of naked ADSL is a deal?
        As pointed out elsewhere, there's much better deals around.

        I'm ure the Internode fanboi will my comments into obscurity, but it's my experiences I'm conveying
        and$60/mth for 10Gb of naked ADSL is no deal.

        • slowmo on 12/05/2012 - 16:59

          you can't guarantee that TPG is 'won servive hands down' throughout austrlia brudda.
          for example, TPG in this particular area i am in is sh1t because it's oversubscribed.

          you have no privvy to TPG's AND internode's (or other ISPs for that matter) actual service accounts and networks, so don't be talking sh1t like you know it's all the same everywhere.

          and again, this is about internode's offer, not a isp review, go whirlpool if you want to have a whinge about ISPs. ffs.

        • IVI on 12/05/2012 - 21:26

          We'll never know who

          (Could an "anti-competitive" tech, who works in a Telstra exchange - where Internode likely sets up their DSLAMs - have ways to screw-up "the competition's" DSLAMs?

          'dunno, but I hope not…

          I -have- heard Internode's Hackett (on radio & live) talking about how -slow- Telstra can be to "find space" for non-Telstra DSLAMs in its =spacious= exchanges…

          That's not good of Telstra, so I support Internode's position on that… I like fairness of competition, like anyone else.

          Maybe those public "naming & shaming's" of Telstra got up someone's nose.

          Look how sensitive a few of OzB's mob can be to others' words… just count the Neg's of comments… despite OzPete's "comment all you like" encouragement.

          We need to experience -more- "Freedom of Speech" than we have (historically), ie, before OzB's "comment-neg" tool can be justified, on this & other Aussie "community" sites; WP mod's are far more -harsh- from what I've observed, but OzB's got some who seem "too quick to protect vendors"… & I suppost that some of them may -be- vendor rep's, employees, family members, etc.)

          On OzB, our "loyalties" should really be to helping to inform other folks about -all- the sides ( + and - ) of deals, & the products & services involved… not to please the owner/operator.

          I won't break rules against, eg, racist acts, but I don't think anyone should be in a position to take down a "heads-up" flag (ie, a Neg of a Deal), even if in a group… ie:

          • Like a sports referee, I "Neg" 'em, as I see 'em. :-)

          Look how sensitive a few of OzB's mob can be to others' words… just count the Neg's of comments… despite OzPete's "comment all you like" encouragement.

          Neg voting on comments vs neg voting on deals are two different things.

          So you defend TPG vs Internode thats free speech

          Others Defend Intenode vs TPG

          Thats also free speech

          except of course if you barrack for the other side, then it's censorship.

          You might understand what it's like to be a mod. If we mod you then we are the enemy, otherwise we are a friend… LOL

    Am currently on the Naked S plan, which delivers 150 GB per month since October 2010 when the plan was first introduced, and extended the contract another two years with this special. Main reason for extending is due to current higher prices for telco products for many telco products compared to late 2010 prices.

    Internode is a great ISP, with no problems over the past 7 years. The iiNet merger has also been a win win,with iiNet unmetered content, but really looking forward to the free iTunes content.

      I have also been on naked s since October 2010, so my 150gb will end this October…however I'm tossing up between extending for two more years, or switching to tpg. We're both on tpg mobile, so would save $6 a month on our mobiles, and would get a tpg home phone (and unlimited, but 150gb is fine for us anyway).

      Happy with internode…but was happy with tpg too (only switched because tpg had no ports when I moved).

    Voting negative for putting EXISTING CUSTOMERS on a 24 month contract without being a ridiculously good deal which I would expect for such a contract length.

    Yes Internode have great service and often better pings, do you guys not realise that a deal like this is specifically makes them worse then many ISP's who don't attempt this kind of thing for EXISTING CUSTOMERS.

    Its a 24 month contract, I guarantee people will regret doing this, even for a simple thing like iinet offering a great deal once Internode have everyone in contract.

    24 month contracts only suit phone plans where you basically get the phone for free.

          when you sign up, you agree to the 2 year contract as any other 2 year contracts you sign up for.. so what's there to regret other than buyer's remorse?

          when you say 'guarantee', what sort of guarantee do you back it with?

          can you guarantee that the next non-internode ISP crownanchor chooses will make him 'not regret' churning away? that's some bold claims, imo.

          plan fees goes up and down, such is the same with handsets (but they mostly goes down)… however when you sign on the dotted line, you agree to pay the price YOU THINK IS FAIR. No one is holding a gun to your head.

          why the dramas then?

    wow.. thanks fo posting but it is not very good deal..
    I pay $50 a month for proper landline rental, all my local and national calls( not mobiles) 20gb of adsl2 (10gb+10gb) and my wifes mobile sim card with $400 worth of calls. lucky that i am no longer big adsl user. 20 gb is more than enough for me.

    • Coops1 on 14/05/2012 - 18:29

      Could you let us in on that deal. Who's it with?

    I see that a lot of ISPs are offering 24 month bundles lately. Wouldn't have anything to do with the NBN, perchance?

    At a wild guess, the ISPs are getting better margins on these deals than they'll get once the NBN rolls out. They're hoping to catch and lock in customers who would otherwise move to the NBN in 12 or 18 months.

    • slowmo on 12/05/2012 - 17:14

      if you think they are getting good deals, you should look up telstra smart communities… entire sections of suburbs are bent over a barrel and shafted like there is no tomorrow.. and there is no tomorrow there!

      • [Deactivated] on 14/05/2012 - 07:44

        In fairness, and being one over the Telstra Barrel myself, the NBN has stuffed this up for the moment. No other ISP is going to invest infrastructure when its going to be obsoleted by the NBN

        So until the NBN arrives we have to wait.

        The exchange next to mine has competitor access and mine was due to get it, but with the NBN it was all put on hold.

        So 3 more years in the wildness IF they stay on track, so if I am slow to respond you know who to blame.. :)

        As for locking in, my understanding is, its the way things are structured. NBN will pay those ISPs who migrate THEIR customers to the NBN so the ISP's make sure its their customer who moves if they are contracted

          well… if i'm not getting this wrong, are you in a smart community or not? just wanted to clarify…

          because i was at some suburbs looking at a couple of properties as a future home, i realisd that the fiber are built into the home and there is no other provider other than telstra, and even telstra provides the foxtel and crap… and you have to buy a bloody UPS to sustain the exchange box in the house to ensure that your fiber telephone line still works in a blackout. (wtf)

          afaik, it's charging $170/mth for pure internet access of 60gb data/mth. Other charges like phone liness, foxtel and other crap goes ontop of that.

          my point is, even if you want to have an ISP (adsl), you can't because there are no longer any copper infrastructure. the only way you can deal with is to get a 3G broadband device, which probably the other 3999 residents in your area would've thought the same thing.

          my point is, some of the drama queens above think that $70 is a rip off, they haven't seen nothing yet.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/05/2012 - 15:16

          No Actually I would probably call it a dumb community. If they had taken up adsl faster etc maybe the other isp's would have put their dslams in earlier and we would have had some choice.

          Totally agree about the

          my point is, some of the drama queens above think that $70 is a rip off, they haven't seen nothing yet.

          and they say love is blind!! LOL

    Pretty sure EXETEL launched 1.0 terabyte deal with uncharged (unlimited) upload as an ANZAC month special (and for -5AUD relative to this above plan cost ). This does comes across as Internode seeking attention IMO …as usual.

    Positive vote for this deal as Whirlpool has been reviewed for broadband plans and there are a number of ISP's that an equivalent plan is more costly, and only a small number that are less. Also looking at Internodes NBN current plans, and these are going to cost more than current Naked ADSL 2+. Im close to the exchange and ADSL 2+ sync speeds are around the 24Mbit sync speed Annex A, and 21.5M/2.4M Annex M. The 150GB per month is fine for my usage.

    Internodes put together a very nice package, excellent support, reliability, excellent national and international network, Usenet, Annex M, data blocks and no off peak quotas.

    The ISP market has matured and lower prices for broadband can not be guaranteed or expected in the near future. The NBN looks like we may be paying higher broadband prices for some time. This special offer by Internode is a very good deal, its good to pay the same price for broadband. My mobile phone plan that was signed around the same time as the Naked S 150GB internode plan in late 2010 is expected to be more expensive when renewed with a new smartphone.

    Im with Dodo unlimited (~1.1Mbit max), used 122293.76GB last month, just on youtube and other documents video, some games.

    • Coops1 on 14/05/2012 - 18:31

      I very much doubt that… 122 terabytes…. :)
