Was doing my monthly nbn pricing comparison and saw Exetel have their 6 month discounts back (with a 50c increase).

  • Unlimited data.
  • 5 Speed Boosts per month.
  • Free static IP if you're not behind CG-NAT - can easily be removed in My Exetel.
  • No lock in contract, but must give 30 days notice - seems to be the norm now :(

You're a new customer after being away for 6 months.

I currently use them and find the service to be excellent. Consistently get 105Mbps on my 100/20 service.

30/11 EDIT: 50/20 plan updated for December price rise.

              it clearly says in T&C (it may)

              When you order a service, Exetel may give information about you to a credit reporting agency to obtain a consumer credit report about you and/or allow the credit reporting agency to create or maintain a credit information file containing information about you. This information may include the details given by you to Exetel when ordering your service.

                As has been shown in this deal and plenty of previous ones, they have it in their T&C’s that they may do a credit check but appears more often than not they don’t do it any more (if they do at all).

      The average consumer chooses 50/20 or 100/20 .. that’s a max $90 credit at any point from a single customer (at full price ) .. these guys operate with money to be deposited in advance of the billing period commencement (except first month which happens to be midway). I’d say it’s simply not worth their time to perform credit checks. We should be the one checking if they have the ability to provide continued services haha.

      • DeToxin on 19/01/2024 - 07:51

        Can confirm I've had great service from them over the past year and a half.
        On the 100/20 with an FTTP connection and it basically never seems to go below the advertised 100 down, even during peak times.
        I think there has been 1 outage in the time I have been with them, maybe 2 but I can only remember 1.
        The 5x daily boosts per month is nice too, some people have reported that it doesn't work but I've only ever had that happen once and I didn't end up having the boost day deducted.

    • backupper1 on 21/07/2023 - 09:44

      Yes, customer service told 5 points worth of credit check is performed.

    • kehuehue on 21/07/2023 - 17:06

    I don't think you need to give notice if its just switching to a different provider. You simply sign up with the new provider and the service automatically ends with your old provider. TPG told me the same thing about 30 day notice, and then when I just switched and the 30 day notice thing just magically disappeared

    • npc on 21/07/2023 - 07:01
      +2

      Could be the case on FTTN where it is only one line. With FTTP you can have multiple providers running in parallel, so a new one will just add the 2nd service without ending the 1st one.

    • SimAus007 on 21/07/2023 - 07:01
      +2

      You can have up to 4 providers on NBN fibre (FttP).
      Even if you transfer on the same fibre UNI D port you should still contact your old provider, in my experience, as some don't have billing systems that are smart enough to realise you have left.

      • whiteface on 21/07/2023 - 07:03

        correct. experienced with Superloop.

        • SimAus007 on 21/07/2023 - 07:07

          Yep, I transferred away from Aus Post NBN and received 2 months of billing and I transferred away 3 days before the next billing date (same UNI D port), yet their system still showed as active to their customer service staff. Took a long time to get it credited back.

          • omblygombly on 21/07/2023 - 10:30

            @SimAus007: I was with Aus Post for their pre-paid 6 month deal but I didn't have the monthly auto pay box ticked. I transferred to More and Aus Post called me saying that I was late in paying the bill. They sent me another invoice for the next month too. LOL I just ignored it.

      According to Exetel T&C. The ETC (early termination charge) of 30 days notice only applies to long term contract (e.g. 12 months contract). It does not apply to month-to- month plans.

      "Month-to-month contract: No Early Termination Charge (ETC) applies."

      • Chuppa on 21/07/2023 - 07:32
        +5

        This is from their Critical Information Statement under Cancelling Your Plan

        You can cancel your nbn™ service at anytime by giving Exetel 30 days notice.

        In other words, you're paying a minimum of 30 more days from the time your give Exetel notice, even if you churn away before then.

        Early Termination Charges are contract related - which they no longer do.

          Yeah and if your service is shit because it’s their issue, you still need to give them 30 days notice…. 1 year later and I’m still fighting with them for 1 month as I did a backcharge. Previous nbn provider had no issues and the one after had no issues. Did a speed boost and worked wonders for a day then went back to super slow speeds. I get everyone/companies have issues but when they don’t acknowledge their faults and pin you, that’s when I’d start to worry

          • locosam on 27/07/2023 - 19:51

            @Splashtash: I agree, theyre not worth the price with the extra month you may have to pay. Service was ok, but noticed now that ive had less dropouts at my poi since leaving them.
            Terrible cust service as well, called accounts, couldn't hear them because of background noise and then they hung up on me when it got too difficult for them.
            Churn to them at your own peril.

    • bobbyz0r on 21/07/2023 - 09:25

      TPG's notice period has more to do with billing than anything else. They reserve the right to charge you for 30 days , so you will essentially be paying for two services, but only receiving one.

  • k3nnis on 21/07/2023 - 07:08

  • Binchicken22 on 21/07/2023 - 07:14

    They also gave me a "permanent" $10 a month discount, I really don't know why, maybe I was flagged as a constant churner (I had previously been switching every 6 months).

    After my initial 6 month promo was up, they sent an email saying they will give me $10 off for as long as I stay with them, so I'm on the 100/20 plan for $74.95 forever and I'm happy with that.

    • aka nioh on 21/07/2023 - 08:01

      Depends on your tech. Fttp has the advantage of connecting more than 1 NBN provider at a time as you have 4 uni d ports. Simply connect with someone on a different port, you must request this eg pls connect on to my uni d 2 port, test connection and cancel old provider once satisfied with new connection, hence no downtime between churning. Other tech eg fttc, HFC, fttn is up to the gods. A few minutes best case scenario or couple of days worst case as per some telcos disclaimers

      • sydonk on 19/01/2024 - 15:31

        Do you actually save money this way? Since you usually need to give 30 days notice, if you only cancel the old provider once the new provider is connected, you'll be paying for both services for that month which pretty much nullifies any savings. Am I missing something?

        • aka nioh on 19/01/2024 - 17:31

          Yes. Plan when you cancel. I plan to connect to the 3 months free with more telecom in Feb before the deal expires. So I contacted exetel and cancelled about 15 days ago. In 14 days I'll sign up to more. I usually play it safe and for 1 day pay both providers.

    Exetel are crooks. Had issues with them and had to go to tio. They retained me after I said I was leaving and giving my 30 days notice. They back tracked on what they offered until the tio supported me.

    Cashback $110 was never applied from Cashrewards and in fact the open claim is still pending 6 months later. The claim was meant to be approved several months before I decided to leave.

      • Russ on 22/07/2023 - 14:04
        +1

        It's best to separate your landline from your internet provider, as it becomes much easier to churn to a cheaper internet provider, and there's no risk of your number being "lost" during the churns. You can also make your landline divert to your mobile on the day when you are changing from one ISP to another, so zero downtime for the phone.

        Check out the link in this deal for an alternative landline provider, I believe they're the cheapest ($10/month INCLUDING calls to mobiles and landlines, or $1/month with PAYG calls): https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/684045

          I've not had to contact support for any reason, so can't really comment on their support quality … but maybe that speaks about their service quality to begin with.
          Others I see here have had issues. Perhaps it is luck of the draw… which is much the case wherever you choose really.

    I just noticed that product review have this at 2.1 stars. Have the experiences been that bad? I've been on the spintel deal from the last OzBargain deal and it's been fine service

      I’ve been with Exetel for quite some time on and off. No major issues, and when I did have legit billing issues they were resolved.

      I think people only complain if they have an issue with them.

        Aussie BB is 4.5 stars though

          ABB isn't perfect but going from Telstra to them was a breath of fresh air. I could actually speak to a tech, and the same one from call to call. They were competent and knew what they were talking about even if the solutions weren't perfect. (The only firmware on their Netcomm modems that didn't cause me issues with IPV6 was the latest experimental one when I joined). Anyway after years of declining service and nightmare headaches with Telstra I'm willing to pay a bit more.

          Aussie BB is very very good. You pay a little extra for that quality though

    I just made the switch yesterday and it was a flawless transition, the hardest part was finding a pin to reset my modem to be able to access it to change the user/password (yes, i forgot the password/changed it at some point).

    I was previously with Tangerine, 25/10 plan $45 for 6months $60 after, and switched to the exetel $54 50/20 plan for 6months.

    Did a bit of streaming and online gaming and it was great.

    Tangerine were fine, a few random outages here and there over the past year and evening speeds weren't the best some days, but overall, it suited my minimal needs.
