nbn Plans for 6 Months: 25/5 $53.90/M, 50/20 $58.90/M, 100/20 $68.90/M, 250/25 $89.90/M, 1000/50 $99.90/M @ Kogan Internet

220

I’ve been exploring options for a new NBN provider, and I stumbled upon Kogan Internet, which is currently running an EOFY promotion on their NBN products. Here are the key details:

NBN 50 Plan: It appears to be the most affordable option in the market.

  • Pricing: $58.90/month for the first 6 months, followed by $68.90/month thereafter.
  • Hosted by Vodafone: Kogan uses Vodafone as its NBN host.
  • Qantas Points: Link your Qantas Frequent Flyer account to earn 1 Qantas Point per $2 spent with Kogan Internet.

250/25 and 1000/50 is only available on FTTP and HFC.

However, I did notice some limitations on Kogan’s website in terms of support and account management:

  • No access to check NBN outages and network status.
  • No portal to access detailed account information.
    As they say, “You get what you pay for.” 🤔

OZBargain Community: Have any of you tried Kogan Internet? I’d love to hear your feedback and experiences! 😊

  • Yes, I have tried Kogan NBN, I think 2019 for 6-12 month. I had no problem.

  • +1

    Leaptel is still a better offer

    • Isn't Leaptel $70p/m for 50/20?

      • Just comparing each plan and I think their service is not as good as Leaptel.
        Referral brings down leaptel to 65 but service wise it is way better

        • +9

          I wonder what service would be needed from an ISP after setup.

        • What service do you really need?

          I'm using kogan at the moment. Only time i had an issue, they logged they fault and nbn co were out the next day to fix it. (tech doing someone elses install disconnected us by mistake).

          • @Duff5000: Can you nominate a date and time to churn over to Kogan during the signup process?

            • @Ninja9: Not sure. I went to them as a new connection. (as in NBNCO needed to physically connect the house)

  • +1

    I think for an extra $2 per month you get 5 speed boosts per month on 50/20 exetel which imo feels more worth

  • +13

    nbn™ 1000

    Typical evening speeds:~
    ↓ 250 Mbps & ↑ 42.5 Mbps

    Yeah, no thanks.

    • Yikes, whats the point of even offering it then. Glad they have to show those numbers.

    • +2

      Thats pretty poor on the 1000 plan. Most other companies are around 600 for typical evening speeds.

      The other spintel deal looks ok. https://www.spintel.net.au/home-internet/nbn#nbn_plans

      The other plans are ok though. I pretty much always get over 90 on the 100 plan currently with kogan.

  • +4

    I'm like who wouldn't want 250Mbps per second on 100Mbps plan, then realised its 1000Mbps. F

    • +1

      😂

  • I'm considering this or the flip internet deal posted previously. Anyone has any comments regarding the two?

    I'm on HFC in Melbourne. Superloop really sucked for me previously so I might avoid exetel and pronto

    • I’m happy with Launtel after trying Superloop and Leaptel. I went back to Launtel, slightly more expensive but you can ‘pause’ if you go on holiday. They charge day by day.

      The speed is great with Launtel. I use the 100/40 currently.

      I’m FTTP and tried 1000/50 for both SuperLoop and Leaptel.

      • Thanks for your insight! I've used leaptel as well and their were pretty good. Will check out Launtel

    • +1

      Superloop's been great for me. Hfc melbs. I'm looking to change as my 6 months is up 🤦

      • Let me know which one you move next pls. I am about to finish my 6 months as well, and they increase price to $81pm

        • I was gonna go Aussie broadband but there prices have also gone up 😭.

          I was gonna try kogan but was hoping for someone's else to recommend something better

        • +1

          I'm gonna give pronto a go 100mb $59 first 6 months.

          https://prontobroadband.com.au/.

          • +1

            @Bretttick: Cool. I am thinking of Exetel at $61 since they and Superloop are the same company. Let see

            • +1

              @drhip: Nice will add exetel to a list I'm gonna compile for future ports.

              I never heard of pronto, but after seeing TanedaR post 👇and checking reviews. It looks pretty solid

          • @Bretttick: Pronto just jacked up the price. No good.

  • +2

    NBN 50 Plan: It appears to be the most affordable option in the market.

    False.
    $49/m here

    • +1 ported here after my Leaptel $59 50/20 plan expired. Can vouch for Pronto

    • most affordable option in the market…ongoing?

    • Nice one, will try the 100mb @ $59

  • I just got AGL 1000/50 today. Used to be TPG 100/40. With the no contract deal with AGL, I also got $300 off both my next AGL gas and electricity bills for a total of $600.
    Price is $99 pm for the first 6 months then $109.
    I’m HFC for reference.

    • I guess you already did the math on their rates etc and were still better off? Gas and energy wise I mean.

      • +1

        Yeah, did the whole energy compare thing, whipped out my XL spreadsheets trying to decypher all that on and off peak things and it turned out that my older grandfathered plan is still better than the newer offerings from AGL and the rates I see in the other compare sites. I was tempted to get this other electricity place which did something peak vs off peak but as my wife and I work from home, it didn't really work for us.

  • Can Kogan credit be used for Kogan nbn?

  • +1

    Would anyone already on Kogan like to comfirm:

    1. Is it PPPoE or DHCP (aka. Dynamic IP or IPoE)
    2. Does it have CGNAT?
    3. Does your router get assigned a different IP address upon rebooting? (regardless of CGNAT)

    Thanks for sharing.

  • can you schedule nbn connection date for Kogan nbn?

    • +3

      I asked them the same question, unfortunately you can't. Recommendation from Kogan is to sign up 2 days before you disconnect from your current ISP

  • +2

    Interesting. I've just got the notice from Superloop that my 50/20 is going to $81 in a month so I'm looking elsewhere. Pronto looks the go at $49/m for 6 months on the same plan. But tempted by the Optus offer of 100/18 for $79 for 6 months min, with 30k ($150) of flybuys. So works out to $54/m for 6 months. Am I crazy thinking of going back to one of the big players after probably 15 years?

    • +2

      Ironically, exactly why I'm on this post….increase in 50/20 to $81 is unacceptable.

      • +1

        Me too…

      • +1

        Agreed, two price rises since taking over myRepublic.

    • +1

      I’m still with Aussie and they increased 50/20 to $89 a month - second increase in 12 months. I love their service but cmon.

    • +1

      Yes you are Screw optus, I'd go pronto 100/20 $59

  • +1

    Thanks for doing the legwork OP, just switched as a long time Exetel customer.

    • No worries, let me know what experience is like with Kogan NBN

      • +2

        I should have read your response above that they aren't able to schedule the connection / switch over - the service switched over about 5 minutes after signing up despite my disconnection date with Exetel still being a few weeks away! Besides that happy with everything so far in terms of speed.

        • Just signed up to Kogan this morning and within a hour or so I was immediately disconnected from AGL and switched over to Kogan. So far no issues at the moment

  • I just cancelled my SuperLoop Internet, they said they will cancel next month because they have a 30 day cancellation period. Is this true? I thought no lock in contract meant we can cancel anytime

    • Been with Superloop for a few years and I don't recall a 30 day cancellation period when I joined them a few years ago but I may have just missed/forgotten about it…it is a thing now.

      • Yeah did a bit of searching online, apparently most that have no lock in contract do it.

        That's how they get ya, so in future anyone jumping from providers that have a deal for first 6 months. Cancel a month before so you don't get rolled. Lesson learnt for future jumps

        • +1

          Seems to be what's happening.

          Also, unless you can pre-book a future start date for the transfer and not be churned as soon as you sign up with a new ISP, as is sometimes the case (eg Kogan), there is always the danger that a good offer may expire inside the 30day notice period unless your happy to pay for two services to overlap. May need a bit of co-ordination.

          • @Nominal: You can pre book the transfer. Eg AGL internet will ask when you want to transfer and you just tell them what date you would like and have a sort of agreement to do it. Otherwise just tell superloop you want to move and in week 4 find a new provider.

            • @danielh: Thank you.
              I have now churned to Pronto from Superloop and Pronto made it easy during their sign up process with a box to just tick and nominate a future transfer date…much easier than say Optus for example.
              Superloop were also good and knocked a few days off the notice period to just align with the next billing date.
              Anyways, in a sense everything is still in limbo but so far so good, we'll see how it all pans out.

  • I signed a family member up sign up process was fine hasn't been connected yet as waiting on nbn to do the install as it's service class 1 and no PCB or NTD is in place.

  • Signed up and service ported/activated about 35 minutes later. Will continue to monitor. Coming over from Exetel who were good but their new sign up discount period finished for me. Before that Flip . Before that TPG.

    • How was flip for you? Do you mind mentioning where you're located and what kind of nbn connection you have? Thanks

      • I'm located in Canberra and I have FTTN. Flip was alright except they charged a very small additional monthly fee for CG-NAT (which I needed to allow port forwarding out to the internet) which is something other isps don't charge for. Considering it was still a good priced deal overall I didn't mind too much.

        I don't remember much else about Flip, whether I had to give them notice to leave or not, but otherwise there was certainly nothing obviously wrong or lesser with their service. OH - their support is closed over the weekend and I think that includes some of the behind-the-scenes people, not just the service desk people, so you can't have your plan start or stop on a weekend for example and also if the internet goes down for you during that time you could be unhappy to have less resources to find out why.

        • Thanks for the insight!

    • When my sign-up discount with Exetel ended, I called to give my 30 days notice (that requirement ticks me off) and they offered to extend it for another 6 months. Can't hurt to ask.

      • From memory I called and spoke to them and I think I may have directly said I'm just isp hopping because it's what I need to do to afford it and they were just like "yeah that makes sense" and didn't try hold me. Or maybe they asked what the price of the next one I was going to was and when I said it they were just like "oh ok". Too late now anyway.

        Exetel were a little annoying with how much scheduled downtime/maintenance they had. The actual downtimes were either short or nonexistant I think all times except one, but they send a few of these heads up notices out with large potential windows of downtime and I'm increasingly thinking "gee is the internet going to be working when I need it?" cause I'm up between midnight and 6am trying to use exactly the internet. I appreciate they probably aren't doing the maintenance just for fun but it stood out as different to my experience with other isps.
