Being loyal Ozbargainers ourselves, we've noticed the fact that there's been some interest in the low speed tier NBN plans of late. These are particularly appealing to users with low internet demands, or in many cases - great internet for the grandparents and their iPad ;)

Plan Price
25/5 $49.95 ongoing
25/10 $49.95 ongoing

We activate whichever of the two plans is available at your premises - prioritising the 25/10 of course! We know that many people believe these services shouldn't exist in 2024 - but plenty of people still find them great value as they're more than capable of coping with a single netflix stream, or cheap enough to pop in a holiday home, airbnb, etc. People keep buying them - NBN keep selling them!

While a few of our competitors are offering 25/5 and 25/10 services around the ~$50 p/m mark, most of them are for a limited period (e.g. 6 months).

Our 25mbit plans are $49.95 p/m ongoing - at least until the next NBN wholesale price change whenever that is… We also offer a static IP address on our services on request at no extra charge which can help with remote supporting ma and pa from time to time for our tech savvy lurkers.

Our online sign-up process is definitely a WIP while our API integrations to automate NBN service provisioning are undergoing finalisation, but we're pretty keen to start getting some raw feedback on our service, website, and performance. Our client portal will take over the full sign-up process within the next month or two if all goes to plan, and the standalone forms will disappear.

Services are pre-paid month-to-month. Complete our sign up form, we'll process your order and send you a pro-rated invoice and activate your service same day Monday to Friday. We're a small family owned business down in Geelong aiming to provide kickass, on-shore customer service.

We can also offer a Netcomm NF18MESH preconfigured modem shipped to your door for $99 with our plans. Just let us know you need a modem in the comments box of your service application.

Sign me up, Scotty!

      So the target market of this plan is going to be constantly downloading and uploading photos, downloading apps, watching videos?
      A 1080p Netflix stream uses ~5mbps, whilst 4k uses ~15mbps, so you could easily stream Netflix AND MORE simultaneously on this plan.

      With that being said, I agree that when you look at other countries, speeds like this might be laughable. Thanks Ziggy.

      • kaleidoscope on 17/09/2024 - 10:09

        So the target market of this plan is going to be constantly downloading and uploading photos, downloading apps, watching videos?

        Not what I meant, but when you do have to upload and download photos / videos / make a video call it can really create a frustrating experience for people on both sides of that conversation which is … unnecessary.

        My main point is that, people should not be limited on the laughable speeds regardless of the usage (again due to how NBN works). Instead offer better speeds from base tiers and add flexibility on the data (capped data) for personalisation which is where the price comes in.

        As much as I don't support elon's bs, I really hope the Starlink gives nbn a run for their money and value it provides.

        • Mugsy on 17/09/2024 - 10:39

          I will have to agree with this.

          I always thought the 12 and 25Mbps speeds as the low level speeds with NBN was a bit of a joke. My old NakedDSL connection would easily achieve 17-20Mbps.

          I know it's not all about me but when they outlay that amount of money to build the NBN and I'd be spending the same $50/mth I did with MyNetFone to get similar speeds, am I going to feel building the NBN was worthwhile?

          Luckily for me, NBN never got rolled out at my old townhouse before I moved out to live with my now wife… and her townhouse was a new build with FTTP so we've been on 50/20 all this time. 50/20 is about as fast as our household needs the internet to be.

    Cheers OP for being able to offer usable NBN at the $50 price point. There's not enough offerings at this price point for those who are happy with the lowest speeds and a usable amount of data. Please consider trying to maintain this price point even if you have to drop the unlimited data.

    As a gauge, my parents who use their home internet for whatsapp, phone updates, surfing the internet, booking flights and hotels, and streaming Youtube have yet to go above 150Gb/mth (usually it's ~100Gb). So an entry level $50 plan with 180Gb or 200Gb of data will more than meet their needs. I would imagine other seniors out there who have low internet requirements will be happy with similar data allowances too to keep price down.

    • prankster on 17/09/2024 - 08:31

      wait i haven't checked but this plan isnt unlimited downloads? thats generally the norm with all NBN plans?

      • Associatedfubarnator @ IT'S FUBAR Technology Services on 17/09/2024 - 08:44
        +2

        Yep, unlim!

      • Mugsy on 17/09/2024 - 08:54

        Yeah, it's unlimited. What I was eluding to is that usually it's the data offering that is sacrificed when RSPs try to keep costs down and if push comes to shove in the future, it would be good for the plan to offer at least 150-200Gb if unlimited isn't viable to keep the $50 price point.

        Westnet's seniors plan at $39/mth only gives a paltry 50Gb/mth.

        Beyond that, one can either jump between sign up bonuses or go with FBB with their $54/mth 12/1 plan with 2.5Tb monthly data and prepay 6 months in advance to get the monthly price below $50/mth.

        OP's plan is the only one to offer ongoing $50/mth without any dicking around which is the way it needs to be for seniors.

        • prankster on 17/09/2024 - 10:33

          true even with my family usage, i doubt we'd be doing over 100GB a month lol

        • Russ on 17/09/2024 - 10:52

          Beyond that, one can either jump between sign up bonuses or go with FBB

          You seem to have missed FlipConnect's seniors plan. $47.90 ongoing monthly cost for 12/1 with unlimited data, and they have a 6-month honeymoon rate of $39.

  • Joost on 17/09/2024 - 07:29

    Perfect, I've been looking for a cheap plan to tide me over until FTTP is available on my street. Will use this when my current plan expires.

  • HeWhoKnows on 17/09/2024 - 08:08

    I have NBN 25/10 plan with spintel including home phone.

    I'm guessing her Telstra SMG2 will work on her HFC connection? (I'll configure it)

      Yep, we've got a fair few customers reusing Telstra hardware. They run IPOE/DHCP so typically it's a seamless swap with no reconfig needed. Maybe just a reboot of the modem.

    This speed plan works great for me. Thanks for offering it at this price point. When my current 6 month offer expires I will look at changing to you.

  • orangutan on 17/09/2024 - 08:24

    This or tether a Felix plan? Current 24 months broadband plan is ending soon, looking for alternatives. With this I need to get a modem, but already have a spare phone and way to tether it to my home network. This is $50/m and Felix is $40/m, almost the same speed I think?

  • prankster on 17/09/2024 - 08:30

    great internet for the grandparents and their iPad ;)

    hey i'm not a grandparent yet, i'm still in my early 40's lol
    but i'm actually on a 25/10 plan via (flip) as they had the $40 for 6 months promo but yeah i would be gladly signing up to this plan because the speed is more than enough for our family, we just do usual browsing, netflix, youtube, wfh, security cameras and is adequate for us.

    i'm always looking out for plans like this as theres always people interesting in low speed. hell i was on ADSL 2+ before and i wasn't complaining because it was faster than dial up. I was even able to play COD back then on it too (probably need higher speed/faster comp to do this nowadays though lol)

  • YOTR on 17/09/2024 - 08:34

    Yep, this looks good. I was with Exetel for years, left them after their latest price hike and went with Tangerine. Once the 6 months are up, I'm yours.

    • montorola on 17/09/2024 - 09:41

      I'm with Exit-Hell too and looking to leave, but their silly 30 day notice before leaving is annoying me lol

  • sertse on 17/09/2024 - 08:34

    I need some perspective on what these speeds really mean. Can you 1080 stream, can you do video conferencing, does regular websites and social media work normally?

    How does this stack up against a mobile 4G data Sim?

    • orangutan on 17/09/2024 - 08:43

      Yes, yes, yes.

      Compared to mobile 4G? Tough question, depending on signal strength and bandwidth I think. 4G with a LTE cat 20 modem (eg. Nighthawk M2) at my place with mid level signal strength gave me slightly over 100mbps with Optus and around 200mbps with Telstra, significantly faster than this offer. Nonetheless, most 4G data plan came with limited data, NBN does not.

    • pichxlonco on 17/09/2024 - 09:07

      I do all of those on a 25mbps plan. I guess most people have been brainwashed by telcos to think that you need gigabit connections to do the bare minimum (same as you need the next iPhone model for the better experience). I also download ps4 game backups overnight (50GB each), lots of iso backups, streams Netflix to 2 devices, watch YouTube in hd, have online meetings, stream music, and have dinner most of those while the kids stream abc iview on a TV

      • orangutan on 17/09/2024 - 09:42
        +1

        I won’t go that far to suggest telcos brainwashing people, they need to be more conservative because of Australian Consumer Law. Assume they advertise 25/10 as enough for 5 devices connected simultaneously like in your case, and when customer complaint of slow speed when they do so with high bandwidth contents, telcos may be investigated and fined!

        As consumer, we have to consider what is our typical (and emergency) usage and what we need before purchase. A simple analogy would be a family of 5 going on holiday and wish to rent a car, a Honda Jazz may be enough to take the family around but if they have luggages, might need a larger vehicle or perhaps take multiple trips…

      • montorola on 17/09/2024 - 09:43

        Have you run any speedtests, are you maxing out the 25mbps?

        I'm currently on NBN50, but kinda hesistant to go to 25 simply because when I went into the youtube app on my Hisense TV and went to "stats for nerds" it shows me that the TV is connected at around 35000mbps…

        • pichxlonco on 17/09/2024 - 09:50
          +1

          Speed tests show my max speed is 25, but i haven't measured the throughout while using all of the above services. Haven't even checked if my router has that function but you just made me curious about it. I haven't had the need to actually measure how much I'm using, because i haven't found any instances where the speed might not be enough (i remember the days of adsl where i was constantly monitoring that was using my bandwidth). I do follow common sense, as for example not download big things while I'm in an online meeting.

          Maybe you can switch for a month to a lower tier and see how it goes.

    I think this is a great plan for mums and dads who don't need super speeds.

      Not sure what modem you get with Belong, however rep has confirmed the Telstra SMG2 modem (which is an excellent device BTW) works. Heaps on FarceBook Marketplace for $20 or $30.

    I like that this is ongoing, none of that temporary pricing nonsense that leads to churn. If you offered faster plans with consistent pricing that matched or beat the competition I can see you getting a lot of long term business. Good luck!

  • Heybargain on 17/09/2024 - 09:22

    Keen on signing the parents onto this. How do we know which speed we’ll able to get?

    • prankster on 17/09/2024 - 10:34

      when you sign up, i.e you sign up to 25MBPs plan and thats the speed you'll get.

      I can complete a service qual at your address and let you know what speed is available. Buzz us, DM me, email us, whatever suits and I'll get this done for you. 90+% of addresses can get 25/10 these days.

  • Ade99 on 17/09/2024 - 09:39

    As it seems to be a BYO modem / router are there any minimum spec requirements?

    • Associatedfubarnator @ IT'S FUBAR Technology Services on 17/09/2024 - 10:46

      Just need a modem compatible with the NBN delivery method at your address (i.e. if you're in an FTTN area you need a modem that supports VDSL). Otherwise, pretty much any router from the last decade should handle a 25 mbit service.

      • GeneralKeen on 17/09/2024 - 11:00

        How about Eero?

        • Associatedfubarnator @ IT'S FUBAR Technology Services on 17/09/2024 - 11:02

          Should work fine as long as you're not in an FTTN area :)

    A couple questions:
    1. Do yous want some help with the frontend? I'm noticing a couple things (e.g. contact form not clearing after submission, horrendous signup form) that could use some polish.
    2. In the experience of the crusty Ozzy Bee's, will 25/10 be sufficient for streaming services? Thinking about moving my in-laws over.

    • montorola on 17/09/2024 - 09:45

      Thinking about moving my in-laws over

      Make sure you think this through properly. If the speeds are too slow, they'll get bored and will come over to your place instead lol

  • guidedlight on 17/09/2024 - 10:32

    Hi There,

    The voice service offering is confusing. Is it possible to add a voice service with all national and mobile calls included?

    What would the cost of this be?

    • Associatedfubarnator @ IT'S FUBAR Technology Services on 17/09/2024 - 10:47

      Hi! Our voice plans are mostly targeted at business. Are you just after a basic home phone service?

  • Clear on 17/09/2024 - 10:38

    Exactly what I need for my self hosted camera systems on my properties. Years ago it was possible to get <20Mbps NBN plans that were perfect for the cameras.

    • Mugsy on 17/09/2024 - 10:45

      I'll be doing the same in a few months.

      I've got FBB 50/16 connection at our new house set up (after Exetel royally turned me off using them again).

      As I still WFH from the current property, I've kept with Exetel for now but will switch to OP's 25Mbps plan when we move out to save some money but still maintain security camera access.
