          There is no downtime. Telstra and Aussie BB use the same IPoE protocol. You might lose access to Telstra's 4G failover.

            @Twix: Lost the network last night on opticomm, plugged in my old Telstra smart modem and it still connected to the 4G network as a backup for the night.

            My understanding is there is no account associated with the 4G Sim but is capped at 12gb.

  • XXRydeR on 15/05/2024 - 19:24

    Finally available to get the fttp upgrade but I'm a business customer, wonder if they'll allow me to switch from business to residential and honour the deal.

    Currently paying $105 for their 100/40 plan but only get 55mbps because haven't upgraded to fttp yet.

    Would make sense to upgrade/switch to the residential 1000/50 plan for an extra $4

    Business sales team are out of hours and the business support guy couldn't help with that other than saying yes you can now get the fttp upgrade 😬

    Guess I'll have to call during business hours.

    Way to reward your high paying exisiting 1000/50 customers it doesn't seem like we get a discount. I wish NBN would fix their upload speeds.

      • nickeveli on 16/05/2024 - 10:11

        Launtel seems to be the only one with 250/100 that I could find, unless others have seen otherwise?

          Leaptel and Future Broadband do 250/100 without an ABN. FTTP only.

    • cheapobargainer on 16/05/2024 - 15:30

      am i mistaken that there is absolutely nothing technical from blocking them to offer symmetrical up/down speed?
      1000/1000 has been common else where in the world for over decade

      • Twix on 16/05/2024 - 20:37

        nbn FTTP uses GPON which is asymmetrical. nbn have tested FTTP 8Gbps symmetrical on XGS-PON and 20Gbps symmetrical on 25GS PON. I doubt we will get symmetrical speed tiers for residential nbn anytime soon. Today nbn proposed 2000/200 for FTTP.

        NBN Co accelerates multi-gigabit speed talks with retailers
        NBN Co achieves 20 Gbps speeds in live network technical trials

        • GenerallyClumsy on 16/05/2024 - 21:37

          It's so frustrating. Symmetrical connections provide an opportunity for us to make the most of our internet service. For example, GPON offers 2.4 Gbps downstream and 1.2 Gbps upstream, so why can't they at least offer 2000/1000? I can't help but wonder if ISPs have pressured the government to prevent nearly symmetrical connections, allowing them to upsell the symmetrical ones.

            @GenerallyClumsy: I'm not sure why they don't do something like 2000/1000. nbn are still keeping symmetrical for nbn enterprise ethernet.

        I'm 10 days into the new cycle but billing doesn't occur for 2 more days.

        • Twix on 16/05/2024 - 15:41

          A day or two before your next bill and on a weekday.

          • colt75 on 16/05/2024 - 18:30

            @Twix: Someone else said ABB refund you the back pro rata? So it shouldnt matter when you switch over

    For anyone with Opticomm, ABB is charging $109 connection fee now. (which they used to absorb before)

    • sh4hp on 16/05/2024 - 06:45

      Most providers are apparently. Everyone used to absorb it.

      Uniti is 99/month for 6 months, but new customers only, and connection fee kills that too.

  • butter on 16/05/2024 - 03:10

    Bugger, I'm already on 1000/25. I tried downgrading but the change doesn't happen until the next billing cycle in 16 days and by then, the code will probably be expired.

    Did anyone successfully get it done by phone?

  • Poor Ass on 16/05/2024 - 08:25

    Sure they are reputable but still overpriced compared to other companies

  • trankillity on 16/05/2024 - 08:38

    Pretty dog of them to exclude customers who have downgraded. The only reason I downgraded to 100/40 was because their previous promo for 1000/50 expired.

  • MrFunSocks on 17/05/2024 - 11:03

    Got my upgrade done and it is very underwhelming. Before on my 100/40 plan I was regularly getting 105-110/35-45. Basically never saw it below that. On the 1000/50 yesterday I got 75/25, and today I'm getting 115-125/30-35. FTTP btw. Definitely glad I'm not paying the extra $25 for it, that's for sure.

    • Twix on 17/05/2024 - 11:10

      You should be getting 900-980Mbps. Not all routers are capable of Gigabit even though they have a Gigabit port.

      1. What router are you using?
      2. What device are you using? phone, PC?
      3. Do you have some old QoS settings still enabled?
      4. What colour is the UNI-D light on the nbn box?
      5. Are you getting 125Mbps on Wi-Fi or ethernet?
      • MrFunSocks on 17/05/2024 - 15:05
        1. Google Nest
        2. PC
        3. No
        4. Flashing green
        5. Ethernet

        edit: Just tried on my phone and got 479Mbps down, 47Mbps up so that's a big improvement.

        edit again: pc getting 350/47 now

        • Twix on 17/05/2024 - 15:10

          Google Nest Wi-Fi is capable of a maximum of around 920Mbps on Ethernet and up to around 650Mbps on Wi-Fi 5.

          A green UNI-D light means 100Mbps. The UNI-D light should be orange for 1000Mbps. You might need a new Ethernet cable between the nbn NTD box and Nest Wi-Fi. A factory reset of Nest Wi-Fi can fix speed problems.

            @Twix: Hmm it could be yellow, not 100% sure, which would mean 1Gbps. Thanks for the tip, I'll see if changing to a new ethernet cable changes the colour of it, and look at it at night so i can see the colour more easily.

  • ldolphin on 18/05/2024 - 00:35

    • Twix on 18/05/2024 - 11:24

      Yeah this deal is more for new/existing NBN customers and existing OptiComm customers. The new connection fee is from OptiComm and most ISPs pass it on. Uniti are probably absorbing it because they own OptiComm.

  • sh4hp on 18/05/2024 - 17:48

    I am coming from Superloop and just signed up today for connection tomorrow. I haven't actually called Superloop yet to cancel on their end, which I'll do on Monday.

    My question is, will the new ABB 1000mbps connection override the 100mbps Superloop? Or will it only be provided once Superloop stops?

    • Twix on 18/05/2024 - 18:14
      +1

      FTTP: Aussie BB normally put your connection on another port. Move the ethernet cable on the nbn box to the new port. Call up Superloop to cancel.

      HFC: Aussie BB will override the Superloop connection and Superloop automatically gets cancelled.

      • sh4hp on 18/05/2024 - 18:32

        Thank you for the reply. HFC it is. There is only one out port on the box anyway.

        But I'll still need to contact Superloop to cancel, right? Or Superloop will just bill the remainder and stop billing afterwards?

        • Twix on 18/05/2024 - 18:35

          Superloop should send a cancellation email after the connection changes to Aussie. If they don't call up Superloop to confirm.

            • wangasm on 19/05/2024 - 02:59

              @sh4hp: I hope you are aware that Superloop have a 30 day cancellation notice requirement in their terms, so even if you cancel tomorrow they may still charge you for the next 30 days. Hence it would be more ideal to start your ABB connection in 30 days, and tell Superloop now that you will be cancelling.

              • sh4hp on 19/05/2024 - 06:35

                @wangasm: I see. I'll have to call ABB and Superloop then.

  • auug on 19/05/2024 - 11:25

    The NBN is increasing wholesale prices starting July 1, 2024. As a result, internet service providers will also raise their prices. I recommend securing a deal on a high-speed tier while it's discounted, as the low-speed tiers will see a larger price increase.

    I have been with Aussie for a long time and have been on the top tier plan for a while so none of these promotional discounts are available to me. That being said, an agent from the live chat said it might be worth calling the retention team to sort something out. I just got off the phone with them and within 5 minutes a bloke on the other end gave me the $20 monthly discount for 12 months. Quite happy with the result.

    • BleedingFingers on 19/06/2024 - 21:12

      Same here - got offered an initial $6 discount from the level 2 superviser, when I said that is a bit of an insult, I'm going to leave and go to SuperLoop / Leaptel, he put me through to the retention team.

      The guy in the retention team explained that the initial sales people aren't authorised to do anything with existing customers, and said that they'd happily give me the $20 discount for 12 months since I've been with them since 2016. He said when that 12 month period expires, call them up, use option 1, option 4, which should get through to the retention team straight away and they'll look at matching any current deals from other providers.

      Will take him up on that in a year - happy with $109 for 12 months for 1000/50 FTTP connection.
