First time poster, so go easy on me 😉

FTTP and HFC only.

Previous deal (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/847221) only mentions 25/8, 100/18.

Discount for 6 months and New Customers Only.

Was shopping around for a cheaper nbn deal after my 6 months with Tangerine were up - and came across this bargain plan!
I was paying $104.95 for 250/25 with Tangerine (was a lovely ~$54.95 for 6 months) - and saw SpinTel offering this plan for $20/month cheaper, ongoing!

Stupidly, I didn't read the refund rules with Tangerine (no pro-rata) before submitting my request. And SpinTel treated it as a new connection on my FTTP (went from UNI-D Port #1 to Port #2), so had to manually request cancellation with Tangerine. Otherwise, the connection was quick and painless - and hitting the same speeds as before (as expected).

    Have been with Spintel for quite a long time. There have been zero internet drops.
    Switched from 100Mbps to 250Mbps a few months ago. I was getting around 210 evening download speed (they claimed 250 on their website back then). Have contacted them and a technician talked to me over mobile claiming this to be a problem with my router and house wiring.
    Interestingly, now they just claim the download speed to be 211.
    LOL

      That would be an NBN issue, not one with the ISP.

      My experience was disappointing! I was on 250/25 plan (FTTN) and had many stability (VPN drop outs) and speed (not consistent, often around 140/20) issues. Went back and forth with support for weeks, they keep saying everything is fine from their end and there is something wrong with my house wiring, router etc.. Finally gave up and moved to Superloop, no issues now! 1000/50 plan and got up to 750/50 on same wiring and router! Upgraded router and now get ~950/50.

      But have to say, Spintel support is quite good, especially via WhatsApp. Also they refunded rest of the month, which many dont!

      Looks like everyone who is giving cheap/discounted nbn plans are cramming more user onto limited bandwidth.. leading to speed, sync issues.. so you kinda get what you pay for!

                  @nanny0tt: Yep, of course, totally up to the Owners Corporation in your building as to whether they allow or request a building to be backboned in an MDU. Unlikely in many if NBN fibre already exists. GTEK also passes a lot of houses which don't face the same issue.

        If you're on fibre to the premises, you can definitely get 1000/50. The only reason you wouldn't see higher is if you're checking with a provider that doesn't offer those speeds.

          Yes fttp, was on 1000/50 plan but I have a lot of wifi devices so wifi speed would be 200-600,but Ethernet gets good speed. Downgraded to 250 as we don't need that high speed anyway. Haven't had a need to contact their customer service yet

          This is the result for just now. Get 5 free speed upgrades a month but tbh never used it lol

          I've recently made the switch from 50/20 with Spintel to 100/20 FTTP with Superloop and boy are they fast. With Spintel, speed was peaking at roughly 35Mbps (in Perth), but with Superloop I'm getting a constant speed of 130Mbps (30Mbps more than what I'm paying for). Highly recommended.

    I'm currently on 50/20 (FTTC) and wondering if I could obtain the 100/18 speeds? Also, it looks like you don't need to give 30 days' notice when churning out of Spintel, like you do with many other ISP.

    • random-userr on 29/05/2024 - 18:27

      I'm on Aussie Broadband (100/40, FTTC). What I usually get during peak hours is 108/38, so yeah technically you can get these speeds on FTTC.

    • Twix on 29/05/2024 - 22:06

      FTTC is capable of 100/40 at most properties. Switch to FTTP if you want faster than 100/40 and the best reliability.

It says to use Dynamic IP and not PPOE, even though they send you a login/password which is odd, not sure why you'd need that if using Dynamic IP. I've set the router to dynamic IP but yea no connectivity (many reboots of arris box/router so far) fingers crossed all good in the morning >.<

                    some quick pings over my wifi to show latency, add a few ms to below for wifi latency. I'm pretty happy with that, was ~25ms with superloop so a little worse, but i think this is still acceptable.

        Speeds and ping I guess.

    Uploads look pretty disappointing. We have the Superloop 100/40 plan and that's typically 93/34, surprising to see typical uploads still stuck in the low 20s… Given we get the 5 speed boost days, doesn't look like a good switch even for $5 a month less.

      It's 10:1 ratio. They always hold some to charge more. Calling for the competitor 5G broadband.

    I joined SpinTel in March not realising they charge extra to remove CGNAT. Not a static IP but just opt out of CGNAT so I can use basic IP functionality. Back to ABB.

    Showing my near 50 years here. Bought unit in older complex in Oct (5065 SA) NBN website said NBN wasnt availabile at my address then but now it is. I dont see any NBN infrastructure in the unit and guess i need a modem. Basically just need good service for work from home and stream netflix etc. Any suggestions from my more learned and younger peers for a suitable service and provider (i did consult my 16yo nephew but he was too busy gaming).
