Hello everyone,
I'm curious about the different costs people are incurring for their NBN plans. It's always helpful to get a sense of the market and see if I'm getting a good deal or if there are better options out there. Here is my details.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences and recommendations!
Thanks!
NBN 250/25
TPG
$84.99/m
Got the deal after the trial… I will ride on this as long as I can
100/40 $89mo more
Free nbn until end of 2025 ;)
Leaptel Opticomm $70/month for 50/20. Will do a swap to one of the cheaper ones and may even downgrade to 25/10 as we don't really need 50/20, except during Dec/Jan break.
Will consider Superloop/Tangerine/Spintel if they get their act together - last time I tried to go with these 3, they took several days to 'activate' my service even though there were no problems. Kept saying they will push it through, but it didn't happen until I got frustrated and cancelled it. Leaptel connected me in 2 hours.
Move away. I had leaptel. I had one of the worst experience ever!
250/25 for $75 per month.
Somehow got a permanent speed boost from 100/20. Not complaining.
$74.95 100/20 ongoing with SL
Dodo 65.00$
But NBN was down twice in the last 2 weeks without a warning, for over 12-24 hours each time
( Customer Service Phillipines- on headsets with 100’s of voices in the background in that call centre ) 😱
Not technically NBN, FTTB with iinet who use the legacy TPG cable for my apartment.
Was paying $59 for 100/20 and they wanted to increase the price but offered $59 for 50/20, but I don't think they can throttle the speed. So I get about 90/20
Superloop - $99 for 6 months, then $109 for 1000/50.
Willing to change after deal is over.
$110 with iiNet for 1000/40
Have been with iiNet for 20+ years but given they are soon going to be chargibg for email accounts I'm swapping out for gmail emails and will then be looking for the best performance/service for our FTTP NBN
ABB FTTP 1000/50 - $109/month (just upgraded speed as part of the offer) otherwise it was 100/40 for $105/month. Will probably churn to Superloop after current deal is over.
Based in Sydney so speeds are decent. Personally 100/40 was fine but just wanted to test out the 1000 for a change (no noticeable difference compared to 100)
I'm with Launtel and I pay $3.10 a day for 100/20 speeds. Since our family use the internet 3 days a week only (family decision), we "pause" our connection the other 4 days. We end up paying $9.10/week which calculates to roughly $36-40/month. The other days, the adults in the home use the 3G/4G on my phone. We just have to remember to login weekly to pause and unpause, which is very quick. Works well.
I had no idea their day deal allowed you to pause/unpause. I thought it was just marketing fluff, making a lower daily rate more appealing than a higher monthly rate.
I need internet every day so doesn’t work for me, but that’s pretty cool.
$9.30** per week
Superloop
250/25
$74.95
Ending soon and will revert to 50/5
Currently looking for a good deal, 250 is amazing
More Telecom
100/20
$56.40
$3.50 a day for 100/40 with Launtel
Enjoy the flexibility of changing plan speed regularly with the click of a button without having to go through the process to “change plan”.
So you have around 105$?
0.00004050925 per second is expensive
I'm genuinely curious why someone would change plans each day or even two days… unless someone is often not home for days on end or something and they switch to a lower speed (and cheaper) for the time they're away?
Most of the time I'm on 100/40 and at times I want to upload something on 250/100 but dont want to pay monthly for 250/100 as its an expesive plan.
250/25 for $89 per month (for 12 months) on HFC with Leaptel.
I get 50/20 with ABB for $80. It sucks
$70 pm for next 12 months
FTTP - 250/20 plan (speed tests normally show up to 260-270Mbps)
Vodafone
In Perth
I negotiated a deal with the retention team as was about to jump ship with my NBN and 3 Mobiles. Got deals on all of them. Pay around $130pm for everything for next 12 months.
Was looking to change out of mine in Exetel, was amazed how expensive the plans have become. We are getting properly reamed.
110 telstra
I pay $79.76 (includes credit card processing fees) to Uniti . It gives me 100/20 & a Static IP plus $10 promo discount. I am not sure how many more months I have for the promo. Quite happy with the service
$80 pm
100/40
Exetel
For 12 month
Was going to churn and they dropped price when I went through to the retention team
$89/month for 12 months with Leaptel.
1000/50 FTTP.
will likely look for ~$65 plan once the promo is over. Preferably 250 or 500 down.
Plan Speed - 100/20
Monthly Cost - $6/month
Provider - More Telecom (inc. discount due to having CommBank Home Loan)
Location - Melbourne
are you sure it is $6/ month. if it is then damn cheap
$60 Month for 50/20 grandfathered for the last 5 years.
250/250
$50
Pineapple net
Melbourne
Not nbn, but payin $69 for 250/250 on pinapple.
100/40 Mbps for $6 month with More NBN (mortgage offer that lasts 3 years). I'm very grateful!
Errrr wot?
Got free NBN as an offer with my mortgage nearly 2 years ago via CommBank. I also upgraded the free plan and now only pay a small amount for the fastest fttn I can get :)
$0 - 50/20 - More NBN CBA mortgage deal thing
Parents $89 - 1000/50 - iiNet HFC (formally TransACT and Neighborhood before that) but currently that's also discounted to $55 for 12 months
Internet in Australia is horrendously expensive. Cheapest plans which are amazingly slow at 25/10 are $60, in 15+ years the internet in this country is just as slow and more expensive.
250Mbps/25Mbps Unlimited ($119.00) Aussie Broadband
Damn, judging by this thread I could be doing alot better?
Iinet HFC which is approx 800/40 - $79.99/month which seems to be grandfathered. Was $39.99/month for first 12months which was beyond ridiculousness. So good!
$74 for a year on 250/20 with More
As part of the NBN plan, the cost of lower speed tiers will increase again on 1/7/25. Therefore, it's best to lock in a plan on the 100/20 speed tier with a provider for the next 12 months. NBN's aim is to raise the cost of lower speed tiers to encourage the majority of users to switch to at least the 100/20 speed tier. Today is the last day for most providers' promotions, which are ending.
$49 pronto. NBN50
$0 - gov program, SSBI
u got Nomination via Organisation or self? Do they really check for active internet ?
Myself - well I assume during the process they check, I was disconnected for the required days
$79/month for 12 months.
250/25 with Leaptel.
Was on More 100/20, CBA30% deal, paying $65.
Having problem when trying to access a web site in Hong Kong, especially at night. Called them 3 x, 'refresh IP address' worked OK for 2 weeks then back to the same.
Finally move to Scoop several days ago to 250/25, $79. FIND40 deal
no problem in access that web site
called customer to put me off CGNAT, free, because of the VOIP fax, happy to do that.
(have to pay if want static IP)
I am happy now,
may change to leaptel 6 months later, but HOW can you get that price?
Not NBN (Opticomm)
Kind of limited to which service provider I can use, but I am envious of those who are on a similar or better download speed and paying less.
iinet is a rip-off. I am with Uniti on Opticomm and it has been great for last 3 years.
They currently have a deal where you get 1000/50 for $99 / month.
Opticomm
Uniti Internet
1000 /50
Static IP
Paying $89 / month
Wow, how did you score that. I've been on 50/20 opticomm for $50/mo for the last 2 years or so. Had a free static IP, but few months ago they started charging me $10/mo
Recently, when I contacted them to increase speeds, they told me I have to abandon my perpetual discount and sign up for a new plan that's available now.
I was on $20 off per month plan and then they had another $50 off offer going, I just asked them to add me to that and they ended up applying both on my account.
1000/50 FTTP
Leaptel
$89 for the first 12 months.
Plan Speed - 100/15
Monthly Cost - $65/month
Provider - TPG
Location - Melbourne
8 people
$89 for 1000/50 with Leaptel, when this ends I'll probably sign up with Superloop
NBNCo is so dumb every time I change providers and disconnect mine and my neighbor's connections, attempt to reconnect my neighbor to my new plan and fail. Takes weeks to sort out every time. Almost not worth having no NBN for 4-5 weeks to save $5 a month.
$69 for 50/20 Unlimited with Optus.
Avoid superloop, their customer service is horrible.
On leaptel $75 per month for 12 months 100/16
More Telecom
100/40
$64.35/month via 35% Commbank Yello deal
Location: Ipswich
More NBN
650/42
$81/Month Commbank Home Loan Discount
Mulgrave
On Pentanet FW in Perth. Pay $54 for 30/10 with 100gb on peak cap that doesn’t seem to be enforced. Unlimited off peak.
It’s just me at home usually and I don’t game or anything. Kayo gets a hammering on weekends but apart from that it’s just YouTube, streaming services, etc. I don’t need any more speed and the price is right compared to the amped up NetByNoob pricing.
More Internet
40% Off Home Loan with CBA
100 / 20
12 Months
from $96
$57.60
My net is FTTC 25/12 on TPG for $75 per month. How do so many of you have 50 to 100 at that same price range??
How many people here have home loans with CBA! There seems to be an enormous amount on the More NBN deals!
50/20 (but getting 86/20 roughly now for 12 months started 2024 May some internal targeted promotion thing I think to offset their recent price hike in 2024 April or that's what it feels like)
$79.99
TPG
After Telecube I am very wary of smaller ISP's now
I could shop around but the size of TPG makes it worth it imho (very minimal surprises)
So tempted to churn though every day
Maybe by 2026 I can join the 1000/1000 gang? Nbnco pls
Unfortunately the internet has become a necessity in most homes. Some say it's on a par with electricity and water ( think I could go without the former rather than the latter). Cost in the US is nearing $100/mth and the same applies here however the quality in the US is better because of competition. That's what we need in Oz more competition in just about everything. I am sick of changing ISP's every 6 months so when my next 6month deal expires I am going to try and negotiate an ongoing deal at a reasonable rate.
Has anyone had any luck negotiating a continued promo deal? I am on Leaptel $45 promo, I am getting ready to churn, but I thought 'why not ask them to continue the promo price otherwise I'm switching'? A little different from asking them to match a competitor's current promo.
How and for how long?
