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).

      Leaptel is a very good provider at a reasonable price.

        Can vouch for Leaptel. Been with them for over a year and recently upgraded to their 250/25 plan. Connection is rock solid with speeds usually exceeding 250 (just did a speed test and got 268).

      Maybe you should bear in mind, i doubted there might be you will get charged for new connections $2xx somethings on top of it

    • myoda on 31/05/2024 - 10:22

      these plans 'might' be overkill for what you need. I work from home in technology and wife is also studying at same time and we use a 50/20 speed plan without issues.

      Any of the main brands mentioned on Ozbargain will do you will. Spintel, ABB, Superloop, Tangerine, Exetel, Leaptel and most likely a few others.

      You can likely get a decent 50/20 plan for $49 - $59/month. After 6 month intro pricing period most people switch to another provider on the list above.

      If you are a Commbank customer then this deal is excellent https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/834644

      With your building, once you enter your address in the search it will tell you what kind of connection you have. Note, some buildings have one main NBN box in the building and then use the buildings phone line to connect to NBN, so you need an older style router with I think ADSL type connection. Or it will have the standard NBN box which is provided for free by NBN once you sign up. Best to enter your address and see what kind of connection it says you have.

        Thank you my friend. Yes im with comm bank. This is very helpful

  • Ash11 on 29/05/2024 - 21:25

    Any one know why the maximum plan I can see is the 250/25?

    i went with spintel black friday sale 22
    50 hours later my internet drops
    was perfect with ABB
    tryed to contact spintel and waited 3 hours for the call back and never called, called them again and ABB on the mobile, ABB transferred back before spintel answered the call, they never called back. It took NBN another fifteen days to bring back my internets

    Do NOT go with spintel. Literally the worst out of all the low tier providers. I truely believe they deserve their own tier, worse than all the rest of the bunch. ugh i'll never forget how bad their customer service was..

    • plague69 on 30/05/2024 - 10:14

      When I was with them internet was ok most of the time. After I tried to get support, I reckon I needed mental support… Avoid like the plague if you value your sanity

        100%. the actual interenet is okay. But their customer service actually scarred me for life, like anyone else, i've dealt with TPG, amaysim, moose mobile, catch mobile etc…those can be bad but boy Spintel really did a number on me. Would seriously put them in their own category. Actually will never forget how bad it was, unbelievablely bad.

    • DaiShan on 30/05/2024 - 10:32

        it was a couple years ago honestly I don't remember the details but I think it was an incorrect charge and also they delivered a modem that wasnt the correct one, the last customer must have returned a dummy one and they did zero checks before sending it back out to me. Honestly don't remember much but it was SO horrendously bad I still rememeber till this day how terrible the experience was. I vaguely remember they werent understanding nor trying to understand what was wrong like they had brainrot or something. It was just the most unfathomable, ridiculous, frustrating thing ever..

  • mkowarkski on 29/05/2024 - 22:58

    I'm with Superloop; after six month period ends, I will jump to this one
    By the way, really happy with Superloop

    • Twix on 29/05/2024 - 23:02

      Call up Superloop and ask for another 6 month discount. Superloop have a better network overall.

      All Spintel's traffic goes back to Sydney and that can give you higher ping times. This might not affect you depending on your use case.

      • TheFreaK on 30/05/2024 - 00:21

        Worth a try for sure, I called up Exetel after the 6 month introductory offer and they didn’t give me a discount as good as the intro but still a pretty good discount for 12 months more

      • seniordoc on 24/06/2024 - 10:43

        If I join Superloop today, do I have the old price for 6 months, or the new price for 6 months?
        I am thinking of 250/25.
        Thank you

    Avoid in Perth and QLD, the latency from their single Sydney based POP is brutal.

      • SimAus007 on 30/05/2024 - 07:59

        Any provider other than Spintel. The others have PoPs in Brissy.
        Exetel, TPG/iiNet, Superloop, Aussie BB, Launtel, Dodo.

      • MasterScythe on 30/05/2024 - 09:14

        The superloop network is great here; so thats Exetel or Superloop.

        • cowiie on 04/06/2024 - 09:00

          thanks for the advice! What speed are you on and what router do you use?

  • naomieve on 30/05/2024 - 07:00

    Anyone try going back to an ISP you already got a six month deal from, say a couple years later? Do you still get the new six month deal or do they recognise you and refuse?

    • Save 50 Cent on 30/05/2024 - 09:23

      They will have a definition of ‘new customer’ on terms and conditions which will answer your question. But a couple of years should be long enough.

  • drewibear on 30/05/2024 - 08:01

    Not sure if should move over to Spintel from Superloop.
    Has anyone tried to get superloop to price match this? I’m currently getting 250/25 for $90 for 12 months (called up retention team few months ago) .

    • SimAus007 on 30/05/2024 - 08:05

      Do you live in Sydney? If not, you'll regret it.

    • naisuda on 30/05/2024 - 10:41

      Superloop was unable to match this for me, they offered me 250/25 for $90/month (worse than their new customer $85/month) or 1000/50 for $99/month. Best they could do on the 100/20 was $75/month for 12 months as well (SL new customer deal is $69/mo for 6 months).

      • drewibear on 30/05/2024 - 12:27

        Thanks for info! You gonna switch to Spintel or stay with Superloop?

        Superloop has a premium network, 14 PoPs all over Australia to ensure latency remains low for everyone, Spintel only has 1 in Sydney, it's a budget network.

  • kongkee on 30/05/2024 - 09:38

    Looks like I'm not going anywhere with my Superloop plan at 50/20 ($69 AUD per month). I think my plan has been legacied.

  • gooseberry on 30/05/2024 - 10:03

    Hmm.. They ask you to upload a copy of your ID and they want the serial number of your router. Never had an NBN provider ask for that before.

    • plague69 on 30/05/2024 - 10:16

      They might manually map your MAC address. The id part is super weird

  • Bruceflix on 30/05/2024 - 11:22

    Switched today from Superloop, North Brisbane. Went for 250mb, so far so good and ping no too bad at all 12-18.

    It is weird the old connection with Superloop stays active (different port). I'll get on to Superloop to disconnect.

    • Ulysses31 on 01/06/2024 - 19:12

      I've had that before, switching providers. By memory, it's because I used different names (wife's vs mine etc, to get deals)

  • Kanjus on 31/05/2024 - 15:49

    HFC implementation is terrible. Was paying for 250/25 but had terrible jitter for an hour and would default down to 100/25. They kept blaming NBN but as soon as I moved to Launtel, I can now magically get 500+/50 with no issues.

  • thetrack on 01/06/2024 - 12:14

    I signed up to this and Spintel live chat were great, got me connected in no time and it's fine.

    I was swapping from Exetel though and now exetel are going to charge me for 30 days even though i'm not connected. It's in their terms and conditions that you have to give 30 days notice.

    Oh well, it's the last money I will ever give Exetel. Their customer service is dreadful. Glad to be away from them.

  • Ulysses31 on 01/06/2024 - 19:18

    ALMOST signed-up. Then I remembered I had 30 days of free speed upgrade at Superloop. Well played Super… well played.

    Just an FYI, Spintel has CGNAT enabled by default - this means if you host anything e.g. a Plex Server, you will have to pay a $5/mon fee to 'opt out'. Still worth it imo, but only discovered this after I switched over.

  • Notatightass on 04/06/2024 - 18:29

    The price went up on the 250/25 to $79.

  • seniordoc on 24/06/2024 - 10:41

    thinking of switching to Spintel 250/25 few days ago. However when I called them, I was told since I was a customer several years (I recalled I only used them for 1 day and then churned away because it was so sloow) and I could not enjoy the new comer discount.
    So I now still with More, but have difficulty to China website at midnight or after.
    Any good suggestion?

  • kaz1999 on 24/06/2024 - 21:07

    Eero work with Spintel?

    I called the line and they said they dont know what an EERO is….
