    • Larsson on 27/04/2024 - 17:50

      I should do this too…

      How’s superloops ping times? Which DNS do they use?

      • karkassa on 27/04/2024 - 17:57
        +1

        For the games I play (Hell Let Loose and rFactor 2) I can't say I noticed a meaningful difference, from Perth. The ping is about the same, maybe 10% better on HLL.
        I always use Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) as DNS, so I can't comment on it. I had some downtime issues with Superloop, if it happens again I will be back to ABB, hopefully with a discount.

    • eggaz on 27/04/2024 - 17:57

      How does Superloop compare to Aussie Broadband, specifically on a 1000/50 plan?

      • karkassa on 27/04/2024 - 18:00
        +3

        Only tested the 250/25, FTTP. Superloop was 250 most of the time, ABB is often 270 or even 300. Tested with fast.com.

        Significantly better if you game at all; much the same if you just stream media.

        • lasterato on 27/04/2024 - 18:37

          Superloop being the better one for gaming, or abb?

          • Stealthzor on 28/04/2024 - 08:11

            @lasterato: anything nbn is related to to exchange speeds. if the exchange cvc not managed by isp and over capacity then gaming be shit and wont matter what your speedtest shows.
            for example abb has the exchange bandwidth public below.
            https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/network/cvc-graphs/

            "superloop cvc" i think it is members only thing.

            on the graph you be looking at prime time part

            • lasterato on 28/04/2024 - 08:36

              @Stealthzor: Which ISP were they referring to as being better for gaming in the comment?

              Significantly better if you game at all; much the same if you just stream media.

              • Stealthzor on 28/04/2024 - 09:26

                @lasterato: check abb cvc graph for your exchange in your area and google superloop cvc for same exchange.
                see if either bandwith reach the threshold limit on prime time.

        Just go to Superloop, used both on the 1000 and no difference. For gaming and streaming.

    • xmagic on 28/04/2024 - 00:51

      Yeah… Just had a chaotic experience with Superloop and Exetel. Tried to move from Superloop to Exetel with VoIP transferred. Took them forever to port the number (and eventually failed to because Superloop bought Exetel but they can't figure out how things work between two systems). Both have a 30 day notice period on cancellation means you can't just walk away.

      Also learnt something new - Apparently if an ISP is using PPPoE instead of IPoE, they may refuse to provision the service to a different UNI-D port but rather took over the the port with active service altogether. With the 30-day notice in place, you may need to pay for a service that you simply can't use.

      I'm currently done with Superloop after countless calls with customer services (fortunately got a partial refund that I'm still wrapping my head around how the amount is calculated compared to the invoices I got), but still dealing with Exetel and see how to get rid of them unharmed now that I don't need to worry about my phone number get lost during porting.

      My god it was smooth with ABB back then. Only if they have a better rate.

      • johnno07 on 30/04/2024 - 18:07

        ABB's premium of $20 a month over Superloop has been well worth it for me. Almost zero downtime over two properties in six years. The couple of times there has been an issue support has been prompt and polite.

  • hopper on 27/04/2024 - 17:53

    Was with exetel and my nodejs unit tests were failing. They work on all other networks, so switched to superloop only to discover they are owned by Exetel. So on market for cheap nbn plans

    • MasterScythe on 27/04/2024 - 18:04

      Other way. Superloop bought exetel.

      Did you go into the user portal and claim your free static IP, and disable CGnat?

      That might be why you're having problems. CgNAT goes some ridiculous things sometimes….

      You can diy this in the portal on Exetel, for superloop you need to ask chat.

      • hopper on 27/04/2024 - 19:54

        Tired different ip but no luck. Might try cgnat on superloop

      • PeelThis on 27/04/2024 - 21:39

        Does superloop charge to disable CgNAT and have a static IP?
        I'm with Launtel and it's a one off bond that is full refundable once you leave/give it up.

        • MasterScythe on 27/04/2024 - 23:12

          No, its free

        • memez on 27/04/2024 - 23:13

          nope free, just say you have cameras.

          • xmagic on 28/04/2024 - 00:57

            @memez: The refundable bond/rent is for a static IP lease. Dynamic public IP is free but it's not on the control panel store and you'll need to ask for one.

      • xmagic on 28/04/2024 - 00:54

        Could be blacklisted IPs. My dynamic IP with Superloop was unable to connect to half of chinese websites. Simply no routing. Also for most ISPs dynamic IPs are not so dynamic - you often keep the same IP unchanged for months to come, if not years.

        Peering matters. That's why Telstra, ABB and Launtel worked well despite the price tag.

    • karkassa on 27/04/2024 - 18:13

      Try a different DNS, and also check for packet loss (packetlosstest.com)

      I'm confused, what do Nodejs unit tests need an internet connection for?

    • JamesWan on 28/04/2024 - 07:51

      "Unit" tests shouldn't rely on external network calls.

      When you do, your tests are now slow, relying on external infrastructure and you can't simulate network errors.

      Use something like https://github.com/nock/nock

    I am looking for a new 100/40 ISP as I'm on FTTB and I'm looking to go elsewhere for a while and come back for a new modem.

    • spicygastropod on 27/04/2024 - 18:05

      Lower contention, free static IP if you sign up using your ABN, no smooth-brain BGP mistakes that take down their whole network.

    • MasterScythe on 27/04/2024 - 18:08

      Not a whole lot.

      They verbally abused my elderly parents, denied to honor their voice recording, and held our phone number at ransom.

      Wasnt a fun experience at all for my family.

      Moved to Exetel for the superloop network advantages, and the free static IP.

        Holding phone number ransom is a breach of the number portability code of conduct.

          Following that they sent me someone else's account and payment details in error as a 'final bill'.
          I made them aware of the leak.

        See my other reply on this thread. Having a horrible experience with Superloop and Exetel, especially when you hit some weird bug in their operations.

        I eventually ported my number to Crazytel. Yes it's a dollar a month (+PAYG staring at $0) but at least enables me to hop between NBN ISPs however I want without worrying about the lengthy porting and my number being held hostage.

        I might switch to them too. Had a deal with ABB and now it's gone to $119 for 100Mbps plan.

      • devisticshash on 28/04/2024 - 14:32

        Outages aren't related to the ISP, because they lease the NBN technology. The issue is most likely your router or the connection to your premise; better providers might action these outages so that NBN are alerted of these fixes, but they can only issue these actions after 5 drop outs in a week.

        • Twix on 28/04/2024 - 15:38

          There still is ISP outages on occasion.

      • alcadive on 28/04/2024 - 17:37

        Yeah I had no outages when I was with Superloop except for the occasional scheduled maintenance in the middle of the night, which I was notified about.

        The week I switched to Leaptel I had an outage and I’ve had a few since then as well, with no notification until I messaged them. I also had some issues with my router config, which they gave me an incorrect fix for the first time I had issues. I will say that the next time I had an issue they were good about troubleshooting it and double-checking that my service was working properly.

    • Averell on 27/04/2024 - 19:43

      I have checked their site - a modem is not included.
      Is there any provider offering a free modem?

          • Bii on 27/04/2024 - 23:44

            @Averell: Some providers offer a modem for free. Kogan was one. They won't take it back even if you move out the 2nd month. Kogan nbn 50 currently is $58.90/m for first 3 months. Not bad for transition.

      • daniesaurs on 27/04/2024 - 23:09

        Superloop is $99 for 1000/50 over 6 months then $109 after and it provides an eero6+. I haven't confirmed the details but the cost of the modem may be spread out over 12 or 24 months so you will have to pay it out if you churn before that, best to check.

      • thacodemonkey on 28/04/2024 - 22:55

        Find a second hand PC on here for $100 wack in a network card and install opnsense. And with a chunk of googling you have a router. For wifi grab something like a Netgear wax202 and you will have a full setup. Any 'Free' router will be useless as a no legged dog especially if you have a bunch of devices connected to it.

    • whitepuma on 27/04/2024 - 19:23

      In the past 2 years I have been with both.

      About a year with ABB, about a year with SL.

      Haven't noticed any difference in drop outs
      Haven't noticed a difference in speed (do a speed test daily).

      So I prefer superloop, here's my reasoning
      - free static IP
      - free speed boosts via the app (incredibly helpful when I have a large game I need to download and don't want to pay for a premium plan)
      - cheaper

      • fifoo on 28/04/2024 - 21:06

        Free static IP with Superloop? Any reference for this please

        • whitepuma on 29/04/2024 - 05:44

          On OB, search "superloop free static IP".

          All I know is about a year ago when I signed up, I went into account settings and enabled static IP. I've now been using a static IP since and I haven't been charged.

          Not sure if this is just a deal they toggle on and off every now and then, but it worked for me a year ago, and Im not going to be switching off.

          But I should say, even if they did charge me for a static IP (like $5-$10), I'd still pick SL over ABB for the other 2 reasons I listed.

    • Pacify on 27/04/2024 - 19:45

    • MasterScythe on 27/04/2024 - 18:40

      For novices that want an upgraded experience, stick with Asus or Ubiquiti.

      What ones will work, depends on your type of broadband; not your ISP anymore.

      • Averell on 27/04/2024 - 19:46

        They said they can provide FTTC at my address, and upgradable to FTTP.
        Could you suggest a reliable modem?
        (I already have a reliable wifi router)
