New Launtel pricing for nbn FTTP 250/100, 500/200 and 1000/400.

Speed Daily Price Was
250/100 $4.30 $4.50
500/200 $4.90 $6.40
1000/400 $6.40 $9

Launtel charge per day. This is good if you only need to upload on certain days.

No contract and you don't need an ABN.

Wednesday 26th June 2024 – New retail prices will be applicable for all new customers. Existing customers stay on existing prices for a further 30 days.

Thursday 25th July 2024 – New retail prices come into effect for existing customers and unpausing customers.

*Existing customers can also move to the new pricing from tomorrow as some of the new speed tiers have a lower price but will need to action this themselves.

    Does anyone know if we can explicitly ask Launtel to use the second different UNI-D port so that the current connection with the current provider is not impacted? I heard some ISPs just submit the job to NBN without specifying it, and it’s up to NBN to either connect the next available UNI-D port or disconnect the current connection on the current port and activate the new one.

      Launtel can put you on an unused port.

      • xmagic on 25/06/2024 - 18:12

        That’s not always true if combined with a Vocus reseller or a few other L2 providers (Exetel as an example) - for some reason some RSPs would either take over your NTD or simply tell you they won’t provision service alongside other RSPs as a second line. At least to my experience when RSPs use PPPoE instead of IPoE this would happen. But correct me if I’m wrong.

        • Twix on 25/06/2024 - 18:26

          Yeah that can happen with some providers. It depends on the ISP.

        • GreenRomeo on 25/06/2024 - 19:06

          Is there anyway I can check it before committing for a second connection? I got a very good deal on my current one and don’t want to lose it.

          Also when you say it can happen to RSPs using PPPoE, are they the current ones or the ones you are switching to or adding?

          • xmagic on 25/06/2024 - 19:14
            +1

            @GreenRomeo: Depends on how good their customer service could be, it’s a mixed bag.

            Bad example is Exetel - I told them I want to provision on port 2 when ordering the service, but they overridden my entire NTD (previously with Superloop) at midnight and didn’t consult or confirm me before doing so.

            When I switch from Exetel to Dodo at least they’re nice enough to call me before they cut in that they can’t do 2nd line.

            The reason I say PPPoE could be the issue is that I had multiple services between the combination of Telstra, Launtel, ABB and Superloop and all are fine with simultaneous lines provisioned. I already got used to this when I swapping RSPs to achieve zero down time - just ask them to provision on an unoccupied port so I can test the service, disable CGNAT and get IPv6 prefix before I switch manually.

            • GreenRomeo on 25/06/2024 - 22:58

              @xmagic: Thanks it’s still kind of a hit or miss isn’t it? I’d rather stay out of this then unless I can be sure I don’t get accidentally cut off my current conn.

      I've done that when I called them.
      Called them, told them what I wanted and what port, was active <5 mins later.

      Whenever I've called them they've had great customer service

        I signed up for them online without specifying anything and it was activated on a different port.

    • Nick Phan on 26/06/2024 - 23:11

      I connected a service tonight with them and called to confirm it would be connected on the spare UNI-D port as I didn't know which one my current one was on. They confirmed they connect to the spare port and can see which one is already active so won't touch that one.

      Quality customer service and the follow up emails make me feel like a VIP :)

    People talk about using Launtel "pause" when going on holidays.

    Why not just cancel a cheaper service if going away for a reasonable amount of time (say a month?) and reinstate it on return or even look for a better deal?

    It's so fast to connect these days.

    • juns on 25/06/2024 - 17:30

      Based on what I understand from reading the comments is you can put launtel on different port of your fibre box in your house.

      You can put it on pause indefinitely until you need to download your entire steam library in a new computer for a day by paying $6.40 for that day.

    • coxymla on 25/06/2024 - 17:36

      I churned to ABB last month and it took a whole day to come through, and then I had about 30 mins of downtime until the new service kicked in.

      • GreenRomeo on 25/06/2024 - 17:47

        Did you not ask them to put you on a separate port so that you could continue to use the old service during the time and only disconnect it when the new connection was active?

        • coxymla on 25/06/2024 - 19:14

          No, I think you have to call ABB when placing the order to do that.

      Wonder how they’re gonna marketing the future 2.5Gb service, and if symmetrical service would ever be available to home NBN.

    I've used Launtel for a few years now. Hardly ever pause the internet or lower speeds, but happy to pay more each month for excellent service and reliable connections. They're the only internet company who have proactively reached out to me when my internet went out. Also happy to support a small Tassie company, rather than a big Telco. It's not much more each month when compared against an equivalent plan for the speed I get too (albeit from a brief look).

      nbn have proposed 1000/100 and 2000/100 for HFC. TBA late 2024 or in 2025.

      • memez on 25/06/2024 - 18:54

        this is all about gearing up for it. as wholesale pricing for those new speeds are not changing. It's a matter who which provider is ready for the change. Side note Leaptel has gone to the pack now speeds are horrible and they lost the plot. Launtel have actually stayed consistant the whole time

        • Twix on 25/06/2024 - 19:41

          Yeah not all providers will be ready from the start.

          I haven't seen many speed complaints about Leaptel. Why have they 'lost the plot'?

            @Twix: i was a customer of them, and you just have to look at recent google reviews, many others saying the same, i have fttp and had constant drop outs, they always point fingers at Optus, Vocus or GSL, i'm a network engineer so i have a proper setup and know when things are being sugar coated. It's a two man run shop Chris and Matt and a few team leaders. Matt is about the only one that you can get answers out of, Launtel on the other hand, i mean i mean just look at their control panel it's a dream. Ask anything on chat they know their stuff.

            • Twix on 25/06/2024 - 21:58

      Unless you can point out another RSP offering the same per day plans with cheaper prices, I don’t think it’s fair to compare it with the ones having only monthly plans, if that’s the reason of your neg.

    • Twix on 25/06/2024 - 19:30

      This is a deal for faster 100-400Mbps upload. This is not your typical 250/25 and 1000/50. No one else does per day pricing without an ABN.

  • Illtemperedseabass on 25/06/2024 - 19:11

    My FTTC ‘flip to fibre’ upgrade with Superloop didn’t go anywhere in the week after I ordered it. All they told me was ‘it’s in hand’, ‘these things take time’ and ‘to be patient’. All the while it was very clear from their own portal that they hadn’t even lodged the upgrade request with NBN. After having enough of this I cancelled the upgrade and switched my FTTC connection to Launtel (who I’d used before at a different house). Within one day the Launtel support team had the NBN tech booked in to do the upgrade and I was up and running at gigabit speed less than 3 weeks later. Sure you do pay extra for them (and I had to lock in for a year at <250/25) but the customer support is second to none. I also like being able to juice my connection up to 400 Mbps when I have large files to upload to the cloud for work.

  • WhatsTheBigDeal on 25/06/2024 - 20:03

    Is there a schedule feature without manually pausing/changing everyday? like for eg: upgrade only on specific days of the week when working from home etc?

  • ShortyX on 25/06/2024 - 21:24

    Do they still charge 15c / day for opting out of CGNAT?

    • Barney094 on 25/06/2024 - 21:36

      When I was with them you could pay a $100 deposit and they would opt ouf CGNAT.

    • zubzub on 26/06/2024 - 02:31

      Yes but you can pay $100(refundable) deposit for a dedicated IP.

  • kawara888 on 26/06/2024 - 08:10

    I have been with Lantel, Superloop and Aussie on their FTTP NBN ultrafast plan.

    They are all very stable and performant once opt out CGNAT.

  • prhino on 26/06/2024 - 08:47

    If you get a free fibre upgrade to FTTP with one ISP, can you downgrade to 100/20 later with another ISP?

    • prhino on 26/06/2024 - 08:53

      Never mind, I just read this on Whistleout.

      "The most important condition is that if you downgrade your NBN plan or change provider within the first 12 months of being upgraded, you may need to pay NBN Co a $200 fee. For existing FTTN customers, this means downgrading to a plan below NBN 100. For existing FTTC customers, this means downgrading below NBN 250."

    • Twix on 26/06/2024 - 15:47

      You can do that. Most ISPs don't charge $200 if you swap ISP and decrease your speed.

      Launtel charges $200 when you join and refunds $200 after 1 year if you stay on 100/20 and faster (FTTN to FTTP) or 250/25 and faster (FTTC to FTTP). If you swap ISP or decrease your speed with Launtel any earlier you won't get your $200 back. Save your $200 and go through a different ISP for the $0 nbn FTTP install and swap to Launtel a month later.

    Signed in to my account that hadn't been used for ages and found out I had $50 referral credit, which was a nice surprise.

    Looks like my NBN isn't working (i've been on 5G Internet for a couple of year), and speaking to Launtel reminds me of how good their tech support is.

  • archieduh on 26/06/2024 - 13:36

    Whenever I am on holiday I ask Optus for a refund for non usage and they happily apply credit. Per day usage seems to have no benefit imho.

    • Twix on 26/06/2024 - 14:22

      Optus don't give you these upload speeds.

      • apple2016 on 27/06/2024 - 10:07

        True, Although why is that Launtel does not offer symmetric speeds for residential? ie 400/400 ?

        • Twix on 27/06/2024 - 11:42
          +1

          nbn don't offer symmetrical over regular FTTP. To get symmetrical you need to pay for nbn enterprise ethernet.

      • archieduh on 27/06/2024 - 15:10

        Yeah I didn't notice the description, I straightaway clicked the link and in it, it was showing me 100/20 or 100/40 or 250/50 plans which were prices similar to Optus

    • prhino on 27/06/2024 - 12:42

      LOL, surprised they offer that. I'm guessing you don't have any IoT devices connected then?

      Not worth dealing with Optus every time you go, particularly if you're just going away for a few days.

      • archieduh on 27/06/2024 - 15:05

        Like smartlights and stuff? I do but nothing like Ring that would need internet for me to remotely control anything. When I am away i don't need internet at home for any reason.
        What sort of IoT devices do you have that need internet when you're away?

        And yes if you go very frequently then makes sense to have the capability of pausing daywise.

  • Nick Phan on 26/06/2024 - 23:14

    Made a connection request tonight and was active 3 minutes later! Website was super easy to use and navigate. Loving this already.

  • tim_geo on 29/06/2024 - 02:46

    Been with them for 2 years and love how easy things are with them.

    I increase the speed on days I WFH and expect to be dealing with larger files, the faster upload really helps with not having to wait around with live files from Sharepoint etc, a lot of the collaboration technology unfortunately means opening and saving constantly. So more a latency requirement than how much can be transferred 24/7.

    Another combination that works well which per day pricing opens door to, is to get a 4g or 5g mobile router, and connect it to the WAN port of your router. Pause your NBN service and use the data from that Boost or Amaysim sim card on days where you don't need to do much (I can still get around 400/50 on 5g), and unpausing to get unlimited at 1000/400. If you have a router with mobile as backup it's even easier.
