Just got an email that iinet is upping their 50mb NBN plan from 74 to 79 bucks a month
And offering some bullsh1t 25mb plan for 74 bucks - who is paying that when you can double speed for 5 bucks……
Just wondering if anyone elses providers have started upping their plans?
We will churn when our suburb is upgraded to fttp.
My gripe is I saw some NBN contractors running the wiring in front of out house in May, 2021. :(
who is paying that when you can double speed for 5 bucks……
The poor saps on FttN who can't connect any faster than 28 mbps down (if that).
I'm pretty close to that tipping point connecting at 30mbps down and I'm only 800m line length…plenty of people out past 1000m
TPG did the same thing a couple weeks ago, thinking of changing but gotta read through the PDS as I think I recall they need 30 days notice to cancel or they charge you anyway for the month
TPG owns iiNet and Internode I believe.
They have the same plans and prices across all 3 afaik.
That’s insane when Telstra 5G fixed is like $79 from memory - over 300mbps
Not everyone can get it though - and it has data limits
1tb full speed, 1tb 25mbps…should be alright for most
NBNCo needs to increase its income to pay off its huge debts. And now the rollout is finished it won't be able to find many new customers. So it has to steadily increase the amount it gets per customer. To do that it needs to either persuade customers to upgrade to a faster service, or charge RSPs more. It was something like inflation plus 3% it wanted, every year, year after year. That means RSPs will have to keep charging their customers more every year. They can't absorb the wholesale price increase because their margins are already thin.
So, yes, expect RSPs to keep putting up their NBN prices every year. You can keep churning to the cheapest at the time, but ultimately they'll all have to increase their prices.
I just received an email from Belong informing me that my 50 Mbps service is increasing from $70 to $75 but they'll give me a $5 credit for 6 months. 🤪
Why stay with them? Just churn elsewhere… Superloop is great. and if it goes up churn again…
