I've been on a deal at a reduced price anyway, this will reduce it even more until my 12m deal ends.
Aussie Broabdand passing on a $20 reduction on the 1000/50mbps plan.

Other plan price changes from 21st November 2023.
250/25 will be $119/m (currently $129)
100/20 will be $95/m (currently $99)
50/20 is going up to $85/m (currently $79)

Your plan price is coming down!

Yep, you read that right - we love passing on the value to our customers and giving them some good news.

From 21 November 2023, your NBN Home Ultrafast (1000/50Mbps) Unlimited ($149) plan is coming down to $129.

Why is this happening?
In recent months, you may have heard about the review and variation to NBN’s Special Access Undertaking (SAU).The SAU sets the industry standard for wholesale pricing, including their own structure for NBN plans until 2040.

If you’d like to know more about the SAU you can read our latest blog post.

Note: The new pricing also applies to OptiComm plans.

    FYI Superloop 1000/50 is on promo for $99 then $109 after 6 months

    • scar4ace on 20/10/2023 - 13:16

      maybe they will be even cheaper once they pass on the SAU variation from 17th Oct

      • hybridx on 20/10/2023 - 13:17

        Their pricing is technially already in line with the SAU change so not sure.

        I literally just got an email from Aussie BB saying they're increasing their pricing as a result of this (see below). I guess all ISPs will act similarly.

        From your next bill on or after 21 November 2023, your NBN 25Mbps/10Mbps 100GB ($60) plan will be increasing to $66.

        Why is this happening?
        In recent months, you may have heard about the review and variation to NBN’s Special Access Undertaking (SAU).

        The SAU sets the industry standard for wholesale pricing, including their own structure for NBN plans until 2040. Affecting all internet providers, this will have a significant impact on operational costs, causing pricing across the industry to be reviewed.

        Throughout the development of the SAU, Aussie Broadband advocated for a proposal where we could better balance our customers’ usage, allowing us to provide a more affordable internet for all Australians.

        Unfortunately, our option was not supported, having a few knock-on effects for our customers. Due to the changes in wholesale pricing, our lower-speed plans will become more expensive, while higher-speed plans will become more affordable.

        Over the past three years, we have not been immune to the rising costs of business but have held off from passing it on to our customers. However, when combined with the SAU, we can no longer afford to do so and need to increase the price of your plan.

          Yeah the new agreement has made slow plans more expensive as they (NBNCo) want to move people off them as they're not 'sustainable'. Fast plans are the ones that have decreased.

            @BradH13: That last part is kinda bull. They've definitely been passing the costs onto the customers constantly.

            Throughout civod they've been doing nothing but increasing prices steadily, then offering discounts to attract new customers. To the point that many OzBargainers have had to play hot-potato and keep switching on/off between them and other providers. If they truly did "hold-off on passing the costs" then the events mentioned would have happened.

                Because i wasn't getting any faster than 70Mbit/sec I changed to the 75/20 plan for $89 to keep my costs the same.

              @rororo: Yeah, exactly. I would happily pay the $130 but I'm lucky to get 50mbps and I'm not in an upgrade area. If the slow plans are unsustainable maybe stop having the faster plans being unfulfillable.

                @BargainHuntahh: If you don’t know why, then you probably don’t need it removed.

                It’s only useful if you need to connect back to your home using IPv4 from out on the internet. Use cases may be running a web server or VPN server from home.

                Even with CGNAT enabled, you can achieve this with IPv6. CGNAT only applies to IPv4 addresses.

Online gaming connections sometimes drop out and IP Cams randomly have difficulty connecting to from offsite. Would having CGNAT disabled help in mitigating any of these issues?

                  I genuinely didn't know the need to opt out of CGNAT hence my intent to find more about it.

                    @BargainHuntahh: When an ISP has CG-NAT enabled it can give you a strict NAT type in online P2P multiplayer games, have problems with connecting to IP cameras depending on how they are configured and breaks remote access to a NAS and Plex server. Ask your ISP to turn off CG-NAT.

                    There are some things that may depend on NAT and its features to work, this is services related to port forwarding and may include:
                    Servers: Web Servers, Email Servers, File servers and so on.
                    Home Utilities: Security Cameras and systems, home automation, Printers

        Been with superloop for around a year, maybe a bit more. Moved from Aussie.

        Everything has been smooth sailing up to about 1-2 months ago, have had a few extended drop outs (>30mins), and a few other issues. Like @hybridx, I am also on FTTP.

        I'm contemplating the move back to Aussie, however the pricing is quite far apart. Ie I'm paying $89 for 100/40 and that would cost me $105 even on the new pricing. In fact, it's $75 a month for 6 months for new customers at Superloop.

        If I have any further issues in the coming month or two, then i'm probably going to make the switch (not sure who to yet)

          It's crazy that's the sentiment from most.

          Our network is nearly fully capable of gigabit (if you're on FTTN, you're likely eligible for a free rebuild).

          The costs for gigabit wouldn't be so insane if everyone was on the same speed for the same price.

          The slow speeds and their popularity are hamstringing the entire NBN project, which is why now they're trying to do something about it.

          They don't want more people to keep 50mbps and less at the new price. They want people to move to 100+. That's the whole idea of this.

            Can I get the FFTP? If so, do I have to apply?

              @idonotknowwhy: No we can’t. Mine shits itself multiple times a day. But we can get 250/50 when it works 😂

              @idonotknowwhy: HFC (coax) is supposed to support either 250mbps or gigabit anyway depending on the quality of it.

              You aren't eligible for FTTP, but it is worth putting in a support request if you've tried everything yourself to fix it.

              If you're gaming on WiFi, try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable to see if it gets any better. Heaps of people's issues with their internet connection actually belongs within the absolute bottom of the barrel supplied routers these ISPs supply for you. Upgrading that at your own cost can sometimes fix the issues you're having.

                Yep, so does mine. I couldn't care less about download speed, I just want the (profanity) connection to be stable.

                Yeah, it's more that it shits the bed when I need it. Gaming or work from home.

                If you're gaming on WiFi, try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable to see if it gets any better.

                Wired ethernet. Consistently get 11ms-12ms pings to 1.1.1.1 when it works. Most people I know on this "HFC" have drop-outs the same as me.
                The NBN-Co modem thing has all the lights solid, but no actual connection. When this happens, it's also no connection when I try to ping 1.1.1.1 directly from my router's web ui. I have a RT-AX58U full updated.

                P.S. Thanks for the suggestions anyway, I know this isn't a tech support forum lol

                  @idonotknowwhy: Yeah, I got no clue then man. Decent router, wired, 1.1.1.1 pings are good.

                  Sorry man.

                  I'm pretty sure you can open a case with your ISP where they 'monitor' your internet connection over 24 hours or something if you're having random issues.

                  But yeah, sounds like you're doing everything well on your end.

                  One last thing, you know about 1.1.1.1 but is that what your DNS on your computer (or router for whole network) is set to? Highly recommend that if you haven't got that set (make sure to set the IPv6 ones too, 2606:4700:4700::1111 and 2606:4700:4700::1001). ISP DNS' suck.

                    @BradH13: Yeah, I've got 1.1.1.1 set in the kde network tool as well. And IPv6 is disabled.

                    Had a weird situation last night actually, where the internet "dropped out", no ping/nslookup from any devices, kicked from the game I was playing, etc.
                    But I was on a discord call, the other person couldn't hear me at all, but I could still hear him talking for a good 30 seconds!

                    That's completely beyond my understanding, almost like the upstream died (so no requests going out) but whatever protocol discord uses kept downstream going for a while?

            @BradH13: If they actually increased the upload speed then I’d happily upgrade, but the absolutely stupid up/down ratios reduce so much of the value. Most other countries do symmetrical speeds when on fibre, but we have things like a 1000/50 plan! It’s an insane business decision to try and hide the fact that the non-fibre connections can’t keep up.

            • BradH13 on 21/10/2023 - 08:37

              @noisymime: I absolutely agree with you. The upload speed is pathetic and completely out of touch with standards around the world.

              But 'Australians don't really upload' they say. Lol, yeah right.

        I bet the majority like myself are just stuck with shit FTTN and all we can get is about ~47Mbps if we lucky

          😲

          So why are only 50/20 customers paying for this?
          Most of the struggling families with young kids would be on this plan.
