Saw the Tangerine deal for 25/10 at $52.
This is much better. Or Flip would be decent too.

It's NBN download/upload speed
Flip is currently $39/m for 25/8 plan for first 6 months. I’m with Mate though and loving it.
Do they use Vocus ?
2 years ago they were and probably still do now.
This is slow as
You can’t properly stream tv with it
Uhm yes you can? I have 25/10 and never had any issues with using a streaming service.
Friends don't let friends get this speed tier
bloody hell. $50 for 25/10.
Just rediculous.
25/10 should be what you get by default for just having a service. thanks LIB's for utterly screwing the digital capability of this country.
What are you actually ranting on about here? This is an optional cheaper speed tier for users with low usage requirements, what "digital capability" is being destroyed by having it available? How much were you paying for ADSL before the NBN rollout? Now adjust for inflation, was it any cheaper than this? Who ever promised the low speed tiers on NBN would be free?
I always wonder how cheap dodo and tpg were gonna offer naked adsl2+ if the govt didnt rip out the pstn network to stop dodo and tpg from doing exactly this.
This speed tier should not exist in 2024.
Why should this cheaper speed tier not exist when it completely meets the needs for hundreds of thousands of low usage households? All the retirees or single people who don't download content or game are perfectly happy on these cheaper low speed plans. They can even stream 4K on their TV if they want to. They wouldn't notice any difference having any extra bandwidth available to them.
Im not talking about price, Im talking about speed tier only. The minimum should be 50/20, or even dare say 100/40 going forward. Even the NBN is looking to increase speeds from 250/20 to 750/50 next year. The minimum should be priced cheap, I agree, but the 25/10 speed tier has served its purpose in internet history and we need to move past it, just like we did with dial up and 480p video.
Even just looking at the technical perspective I'm telling you that nearly all the users currently on this speed tier will have zero benefit from an increase in bandwidth. What actual benefit to low usage users do you think will be gained by doubling their bandwidth?
@howcan: No point in telling me, those speed tiers will cease to exist in a couple of years. Tell the ISPs if you think they should keep them around or even bring back dial up or ADSL speeds for the oldies who can afford the time for things to load because they have the time to spare.
My point is that this price for this speed tier is wrong, and the tier itself isn't great. Whether specific use cases will benefit from a higher speed or not I don't know (I'm betting they will), but it sure won't hurt for them to have things load faster, especially as device screen resolutions, video recording resolutions, and streaming service resolutions continue to increase which they may wish to take advantage of.
Sorry how is this a deal? You can get EXTREMELY competitive deals at the moment with the NBN rollout. I'm on $65 a month with Leaptel for 100/50
Yup I am paying $69 for $250/25 with More Broadband
How do you get it at that price? I checked their website and it's $92 for a 50/20 plan.
I can only see $115 for 250/25 with More (becomes ($92 with CBA card). How did you land this price?
EDIT: Someone else asked the same question, got my answer.
Yes but this is 20% cheaper than your targeted offer, and it’s available to anybody?
It may be a deal for people that don't want to spend $65 (or suits their budget) nor care about up/down speeds
So they look for cheapest option .. imagine that
Can you schedule the signup date? Apparently I need to give 30 days notice to dodo before leaving.
What is 25/10? Adsl2+?
