Aussie Broadband just announced and sent live some new FTTP plans:

  • Super-fast PRO NBN 250/100 @ $139
  • Hyper-fast PRO NBN 500/200 @ $169
  • Ultra-fast PRO NBN 1000/400 @ $199

You also get a free static IP.

ABN is not required.

If you're a current Aussie BB customer and you upgrade to 1000/400, using promo code PRO30 you get $30 off for the first three months.

As someone who regularly moves large amounts of files to servers, the increased upload size is a worthy investment, even if it is considerably more than the 1000/50 plan I was previously on.

Anyone else on Aussie and planning to upgrade? I realise not everyone needs these types of upload speeds.

    WTF is with this lame-assed PRO naming without symmetric up/down speeds.

    This is like PRO GAMER chairs or PRO LED wifi routers.

      butthurt over naming? how often do you tell people your plan name

        Lol you're the one that seems butthurt over someone just mocking a company's product names

          Butthurt over having shitty, expensive options for internet access due to a decade+ of government flip-flopping and incumbent telco lobbying.

          NBN is the global poster child for how to totally fck up broadband deployment.

            @rumblytangara: I agree but that should be directed towards the government / NBN, not Aussie Broadband. Relative to the competition, Aussie Broadband are IMO currently the best value combination of not shitty, not expensive, and good customer service. None of that means their product naming system isn't ludicrous though.

            • rumblytangara on 13/08/2024 - 18:36

              @Nillionaire: Yeah TBH ABB has been an excellent company to deal with.

              I just can't take asymmetric plans seriously, if they're going to be labelled for 'professional' use.

            @rumblytangara: "NBN is the global poster child for how to totally fck up broadband deployment."

            Yep in september 2013 the australian voting public were hoodwinked by the liberals into thinking that the libs would give us all "fast broadband" for only $29 billion ? instead of labors 46 billion for fibre to the premise.

            Do not blame me i voted labor.

            The latest nbn cost i recall last year was around 61 billion?… they were hoping to keep it just over 61 billion

            And what we got from the libs was a load of sh*t as "fast broadband"

            • rossnroller on 14/08/2024 - 12:15

              @grog: Exactly. And it's particularly galling that Turnbull is extremely tech-savvy and was well aware that the Lib alternative he was pushing was far inferior. He simply needed a product to differentiate the Libs from Labor, whereby he could sell Labor's product to the electorate as profligate and too expensive, while promising a cheaper alternative that would still tick all the boxes - which of course was a gross misrepresentation. Unfortunately, it was one of the measures that worked for him. Result: a complete mess that was FAR more expensive than Labor's FTTP model. NZ adopted the Labor model and have been on high-speed internet for years.

      Old pricing for Symmetric planes started at $799 PLUS GST.
      Pricing before datashare with Buddytel.
      Maybe a grand or so and redtube is in HD ?

      • gyrex on 14/08/2024 - 08:11

        The only plane I'd fly is a symmetrical one.

    Leaptel have those "high speed upload" nbn plans as well:

    • 250/100 — $120/month first year, $135/month afterwards
    • 500/200 — $150/month first year, $165/month afterwards
    • 1000/400 — $165/month first year, $180/month afterwards

      Think I'll stay with leaptel.

    • frondono on 13/08/2024 - 17:31

      I wish pineapple net was everywhere

      500/500 $89pm first 9 months then $109pm
      1000/1000 $109pm first 9 months then $119pm

      They offer some more tiers below that too

    • freefall101 on 13/08/2024 - 18:15

      Leaptel's pricing annoys me, because the wholesale price is $75, $100 and $125 respectively. The 500/200 is a pretty good sweet spot in terms of speed, but they make more profit off it than the 250/100 and 1000/400.

      I asked them about it and they just replied they have no plans on changing it. Fortunately Launtel is cheaper on 500/200 and has the added benefit of being able to switch rates easily. Leaptel is still way better than what ABB has put forward though. I was hoping Superloop would introduce these plans too but they apparently have no plan on it.

      • gyrex on 14/08/2024 - 08:14

        Once you've used Superloop and had to deal with their 'support', you'll never go back.

    Gigacomm (non NBN):

        Nope, don't have instagram :)

    So these are all their plans now:

    • $199 - 1000 / 400
    • $169 - 500 / 200
    • $139 - 250 / 100
    • $129 - 1000 / 50
    • $119 - 250 / 25
    • $105 - 100 / 40
    • $95 - 100 / 25
    • $92 - 75 / 20
    • $89 - 50 / 20
    • $79 - 25 / 10
    • $69 - 12 / 1

      Wow, last one is worst compared to 80% of mobile plans.

    • JediJan on 14/08/2024 - 22:20

      Am using Belong fttp for $80 per month and have no lagging or issues with speed. As much as I dislike Telstra, due to the telco's past behaviours, I think I shall stay.

  • zanzir on 13/08/2024 - 23:37

    I dream of the day 250mbps is below $70

  • Sal in SA on 14/08/2024 - 06:30

    Would swap to 500/200 from 1000/50 is it was just that bit closer in price - the extra upload would be really handy.

  • trankillity on 14/08/2024 - 08:18

    Damn it! FTTP only and I'm stuck on HFC that dies whenever there's heavy rain forever apparently :(

  • Easyteas85 on 14/08/2024 - 09:57

    Anyone know if any deals better than superloop 1000/50 for 119? Fttp

    • Qazxswec on 14/08/2024 - 11:37

      TPG is $105

    • frondono on 14/08/2024 - 11:39

      Superloop are only charging 109 now you can change to it in your dashboard. sneaky buggers.

  • danny-boy on 14/08/2024 - 11:04

    Are providers really equivalent? I switched to Superloop and have had nothing but trouble. Internet keeps dropping out for short and long periods. Switching back to Aussie

    Good for YouTubers who constantly upload 4K videos.
