Moved to Forum: Original Link

Not the hottest deal in the world, but handy for those of us who are too lazy to switch providers every 6 months. Exetel have an unadvertised 50/20 contract for any existing customers, that requires them to stay for 12 months @ $59.99. Price stays the same at the conclusion of the 12 month period and you move to month-to-month.

Extra info:
It's unadvertised, so you'll need to call them up.
Technically you're purchasing a new service (and ending your current service). You'll then need to specifically ask for the 12 month 50/20 offer

Update:
Getting reports from people that the offer might only be available to people moving house. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up :(
@Mods please delete if this is the case.

Mod: The deal appears to be negotiated or unobtainable for most, if not all, see comments. Moved to forums to retain comments for those who still wish to try or continue discussion.

    This has to be the first time I've seen a deal for existing customers only, even with the 12 month lock in, good work Exetel!

    • HardQuiz on 25/06/2022 - 22:12

      They do credit check, might as well stay with them.

    Good deal. I've been on their 50/20 $54.99 price for 3 years but with 500gb limit. Might be worth it to upgrade to unlimited.

      Me too, though it seems to be $60.49 now. Have never hit the 500Gb cap, though if I can get a better plan for 50c less…

      Wow, I was with them for a year at $59 and then they said they had to increase to $66. I feel a bit ripped off

        same story. had been paying $66pm for 2 years until I called them in late Nov last year with that 30days cancellation crap. then they will offer you that $59.99 1-year contract to stay with them. this deal should be hidden for quite a while I believe.

  • audreamer on 25/06/2022 - 22:07

    Great find! Do you need to call them or you can sign the contact on their web portal?

    Currently on Exetel 50/20 promo. Out of the last 5 providers I've churned, they have been my favourite - on my second round with them. I've had extremely limited issues and it's usually fixed itself within minutes. Great provider imo. I'll be looking at this deal for sure!

    • bonezAU on 26/06/2022 - 01:26

      Did they do a credit check on you both times you signed up as a 'new' customer?
      This policy stinks, since you're pre-paying for a service, they aren't billing you in arrears.

      • w33w00 on 26/06/2022 - 01:56

        Just checked my credit report and nope! Just the initial check from my first go. No other additional checks/enquiries were made.

  • sol3x on 25/06/2022 - 22:11

    Never been with Exetel, could existing users comment on your experience? Do you have frequent dropouts?

    I'm thinking of switching to either ABN or Superloop but also considering Exetel.
    ~$60/m for a 50/20 plan is great.

      Been on this plan for past 3 years with Exetel. Both FTTC and HFC get 47-52 mb/s download speed most of time. Got disconnected every 3 months roughly but can be fixed right away by restarting modem. Also, once a year get disconnected for half day to one day. Overall, ok with it.

      Also, just need to call out that this offer is for existing customers only. Not sure if they'll offer it to new sign ups, but call them and try your luck?
      I was with them for 3 years+ and had access to grandfathered prices already.

    • PerthectDeal on 25/06/2022 - 22:39

    • skegger on 25/06/2022 - 22:39

      I've been with them since May 2019. There was one major outage a couple of years ago in our area and it wasn't listed on any outage page, social media site, or anything. The tech support line was clogged as soon as the phones opened and they cut you off as soon as you got through. The rep on the whirlpool forums told us not to call for support as it clogged up the lines for individual support calls. We couldn't tell if it was an individual problem or a general fault as there were no outage notifications!

      Other than that, the service has been great with above advertised speeds on VDSL.

    • BlueGlowOne on 25/06/2022 - 22:47

      Wireless broadband perspective, there value for cheap prices, service and support is hard to beat.

      The support team is good - I have never had to call more than one for any support issues whereas other providers, for example TPG, was an absolute mess. From experience iiNet has the best support team customer service however I have cannot speak for their recent performance.

      Their My Exetel portal is relatively straight forward to navigate and adjust billing payments.

      The activation process is very straight forward - mailed step by step instructions and follow up SMS/email notifications that just seem to work i.e. SIM card changes, activations, etc.

    • us3rnam3tak3n on 25/06/2022 - 23:25

      I've been with them for about three years. Recently moved house and they let me keep the cheap deal I was on previously, even though it's no longer available. I can't think of any problems I've had in that time - smooth sailing.

    • ndoan on 26/06/2022 - 00:18

      Been with them a few years and it is quite stable. The speed is always above 50Mbps on 50/20 plan. They also give me speed boost to 100/40 for free 5 days/month.

    • Bodogbodog on 26/06/2022 - 07:16

      Been with them across multiple services/technologies for 18 years and they’re rock solid with delivery and performance. I’m currently on 100/40 but moving to 250/25 in a couple of weeks when FTTP is installed. Check out their new Speed Boost capability if you’re on NBN technology that supports it

    • stevelo on 26/06/2022 - 11:51

      Been with them for around 4 months, it has been good so far. Just that you have to give 1 month notice before you disconnect. At least this inconvenience rules apply to me. FTTP 100/20

    • gromit on 26/06/2022 - 15:06

      My mother was with them and they were decent while there. HOWEVER, when she moved away to get a package deal elsewhere the nightmare began, they kept charging her, then claimed she didn't cancel even though she actually cancelled in store with the help of a Telstra rep at the time who was happy to provide a stat dec confirming as much. Ended up having to get the ombudsman involved as even after finally admitting she had cancelled they STILL continued to charge her card.

    • Jonseey on 26/06/2022 - 19:18

      Support team isn't that great. Has a recent issue with my modem router, almost went to a different provider, but decided to replace my router, and it fixed all my issues. Frustrating that they couldn't help me identify this issue tbh.
      In the end, the Exetel service was not the issue, it was my modem router, so can't complain about their NBN service. I've been with them since their second year of operations and always found them somewhat reasonable and competitive in terms of value for money.

  • noz on 25/06/2022 - 23:08

    I have a relative with Exetel that had been experiencing drop outs for some months (FTTN). I hesitated calling support as years ago Exetel were a bit painful to deal with. But it seems they have improved drastically. I called them the other day and they were impressive. And to offer this new deal for existing customers is stellar, when other providers (even the much lauded ABB) show no such loyalty to existing customers.

    • shutuptakemymoney101 on 25/06/2022 - 23:46

      • noz on 26/06/2022 - 21:17

        I am not sure, the person speaking did have an accent however was easy to understand and very helpful. He also seemed to know his stuff and was able to perform line testing and apply something to the line (maybe a stability profile). He organised for an NBN tech to come out the next day.

  • surat on 25/06/2022 - 23:10

    Add on.

    You will get speed booster 5x per month free from 50/20 to 100/40 speed.

    One time boost will last for 24 hrs.
    It will take up to 15 mins to get the speed boost but I've tried it and get disconnect and reconnect within 2 mins.

    Activate the speed boost via my account.

    Any unused speed boost can be roll-over up to 30 Max.

    If you need to extra speed boost, it cost $2/day.

    Happy with the Exetel.

    Question:
    If you change to this new offer, do you still get static ip?
    Or how do I know if my current service static ip?

    • Bodogbodog on 26/06/2022 - 07:19

    50Mbps Evening speed 7-11pm

    Speed: nbn 50/20 Mbps

        It's a plan they offered publicly ages ago. You can search it on ozbargain.

  • doot on 26/06/2022 - 09:41

    So, as we’re technically purchasing a new service, would we lose our existing static IP, PPPoE logon details, and referrals? Or is it just a plan change on Exetel’s end?

They reiterated that they had not received any information about this offer. A third option that was proposed was that it was a direct or private agreement between management and a particular subscriber, seems unlikely, but possible I guess!!

    Strange as this was the plan I started on before they did a $6 price hike.

    I also called just a few mins ago to confirm this deal and she also said she has no idea of such deal and she would call back during business hours as she needs to confirm with her supervisor.

  • H E B on 26/06/2022 - 11:19

    Dont try to quote OPs deal as customer rep will claim there is no such promo and it will be a waste of your time. It appears to be for a grandfathered deal from moving house (as mentioned) but you can try negotiate for an over the phone contract instead

    Will be quicker just to ask for an ongoing contract negotiation for 6 months. I got an upgrade speed for same price ($10 difference) but $300 break fee pro rata first 6months.

    The offer made through negotiation was
    1) change to 25/10 unlimited for $49 6months and $59 ongoing
    2) up to 50 unlimited for 59 and 69 ongoing (presumably rinse and repeat after that)

    Thanks anyway OP as we were able to save regardless!! But the deal as you posted will be confusing to everyone here, not to mention totally peeve off exetel. The rep was getting super annoyed and aggressive asking for your name and all already.

    Fellow bargainers - your results may differ to mine so have fun :))

  • bigbadboogieman on 26/06/2022 - 11:48

    N00b question. How do you churn to another provider? Do you like just register to a new provider and the old connection gets cancelled automatically or do you have to call and report to the existing provider?

    Which modems do churners use? I have a belong which I am pretty sure would be locked to the darned Belong.

    How long do you have to stay away before rejoining in the churn cycle?

    I was on their $55 service. It's been upped to $60 and the speeds stink a$$. Can't watch a decent episode on Netflix or Disney. Been using my 4G mobile connection alot lately. I have been waiting for a reasonably priced 4G broadband. The moment I get it, bye bye NBN. Based on this feeling alone, I can only imagine the future of NBN.

      Would like to know about the modems too. The Exetel one isn't locked to them, but is at least initially set up so they can administer it remotely I think.

    Still on 50/20 unlimited for $54.95 until August with Superloop.

    They also gave me 1 month free for stuffing me around too.

    Worst ISP I have had but everyone on Ozbargain thinks they are the bees knees.

    Exetel was fine when I signed up but their new connections are slow.

        He's lying.

        It was that price 3 years ago. After which Exetel made it $59.99/month for everyone coming off it after 12 months.

    Just called them up and they were very defensive about this deal, exetel rep kind of rolled their eyes.
