Hi, currently with AGL NBN Kimberley, WA

AGL had a $69/month (100/20) deal for 6 months.

It will go up to $89/month next month

Connection is FTTN

Will the connection have any downtime if I change to a new provider?

Do I need to change anything when it comes to the modem settings?

Thanks everyone

the connection will have like 5 minutes downtime to resync assuming you cancel the AGL connection after you sign up to a new provider. If you change to a new provider it will depend if they use DHCP or PPPoE if you will have to change your modem settings or not.

  They use PPPoE

    Just need to change the details over in the router settings pretty easy to do should be some guides online.

Yeah downtime will be kept to a minimum practically non existent as the switch is largely automated now a days. Just don't cancel your AGL connection until your new connection is active.
