Update: Avoid! I have asked very basic questions of this crowd and getting any type of technical answers or support from these guys is a nightmare i would recommending avoiding.

Came across this deal $88 dollar for 1000/50 probably the cheapest ive seen anywhere, they're backed by URL Networks https://www.url.net.au so not sure what their performance is like.

CGNat only no Opt-Out

    • AdModnar on 28/09/2024 - 11:06

      i'm nit expert in this subject at all, and hoping those who are can add something, but why in these settings is IPV4 required?
      IPV6 means we can have a set address for every device, don't need to "share" them which is what CGNAT does.
      Why do these services that need a static address not use IPV6?

      • TheKLocker on 29/09/2024 - 10:08

        Probably because upgrading to IPv6 requires time, money and expertise that can be avoided by using v4 for as long as possible.

    At Quokka Net we use PPPoE to get you connected.

    This means that when you order a service, we will send you a username and password that you will need to use to get connected (this is what you will configure in your router).

    We do not currently support IPoE (also known as DHCP client). We have plans to support this in the future.

    For everyone worried about CGNAT for things like home assistant etc, consider CloudFlare tunnels.

    Instead of opening a port and forwarding it, you connect your device to a CloudFlare tunnel and all your data gets routed through that. You also get SSL. Any questions let me know

    • Averell on 28/09/2024 - 00:12

      I have static IP6 which gives each of my devices at home a static address at home. I allowed SSH-ing to my home desktop from outside (directly, not port forwarding on the router). RDP is also enabled.
      Is that risky?
      Thanks

      • misterpotatomato on 28/09/2024 - 01:24
        +2

        Uh it sure sounds risky, can you access those computers from the outside? If so, what stops someone from brute forcing your SSH password, or if there's an exploit in remote desktop?

        • Averell on 28/09/2024 - 07:23

          Yes, there's no other layer of protection.
          For SSH I disabled password-based authentication.
          So, does that mean solutions like CloudFlare is always preferred?

          • r33tom on 28/09/2024 - 11:03
            +1

            @Averell: yes CloudFlare tunnels is a modern version of VPN. Your client is the CloudFlare app and instead of tunneling back to your own network, you tunnel into the CloudFlare network with the client from your phone/laptop. Your home server does the same where it uses a CloudFlare client to tunnel into CloudFlare's network.

            never expose any ports directly to the internet unless you are publicly hosting a website. especially SSH and RDP as when the next zero day exploit hits (and yes it will happen 100%) your gonna get screwed.

            get CloudFlare tunnels or setup wireguard/openvpn and block those public facing ports asap.

      • M00Cow on 28/09/2024 - 07:27

        have a look at tailscale to allow vpn'ing to your network.

        • Averell on 28/09/2024 - 07:33

          Prior to static IP6 (I just recently switched from mobile broadband to FTTP), I was using ZeroTier. The only problem with that was it's sometimes blocked (when I am at work, for example)

          • r33tom on 28/09/2024 - 11:07
            +1

            @Averell: give CloudFlare tunnels a try. its pretty hard to block as most businesses will use CloudFlare's network either directly or indirectly. and it runs over 443. So unless your work does SSL inspection on their firewalls and specifically looks for this type of traffic, its not easily blocked.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/09/2024 - 10:10

        You can do that? Thought ISP by default block all incoming via IPv6?

          no thats the beauty of IPv6 it is all publicly routable address space. there is no such thing as public/private with IPv6 so it is up to you to make sure your firewall is configured correctly so you don't expose your entire internal network to the internet.

          • BexForHeadache on 02/10/2024 - 08:24

        Come on mate, surely you realised your mistake as soon as you posted it.

        • jackspratt on 28/09/2024 - 20:00
          +1

          Given that NBN is a monopoly, and has close to 90% of the broadband market, it effectively has no competition.

          No, it's from True Online, and I pay about $25/month for 1000/200 unlimited fibre internet + my mobile service + limited cable TV channels, inclusive.

    • lbft on 28/09/2024 - 04:35
      +20

      NBNco sets wholesale prices for the NBN connection part (the "last mile" from your house to the internet provider), and then the company you buy your service from has to provide the rest (the connection to the internet i.e. IP transit, the IP addresses, the support services, etc).

      The wholesale cost on a 50/20 NBN connection is $52.52 ex GST per month since 1 July 2024 ($57.77 once GST is added when you sell it to a consumer). The cost for 100/20 is $57.22 ($62.94 after GST). 250/25 is $62.22 ($68.44 after GST) and 1000/50 is $72.22 ($79.44 after GST). Source

      On this offer, on 250/25 they've got $8.68 ex GST to work with to provide an unlimited internet connection and support for a whole month once the connection between you and NBNco is paid for. On 1000/50 it's even lower at $7.78 ex GST. I don't know what you expect competition to do when companies are already throwing away any hope of profit for extended periods of time in the hopes that you'll stick around.

      If you want to know who to blame, it's the Australian public who believed the lie that the multi technology mix NBN was cheaper.

      Edit: Aussie Broadband's Buddy Telco is cheaper than this provider on an ongoing basis at $99 for 1000/50 if you don't want to have to move around to chase promotions.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/09/2024 - 10:21

        Mixed NBN tech is cheaper and gets the job done slightly quicker, allowing NBNco to start making money earlier. It is nonetheless not future proof, which is why NBNco is still upgrading a lot of places, and overall the project ended up costing more.

        Regardless whether it was mixed tech or full fiber, this was an extremely expensive project and it was a monopoly, everyone need to use have to pay heavy price. Fortunately, now with 5G and satellite internet, many do have alternatives.

      • Mechz on 28/09/2024 - 11:44

        No one actually believed MTM was cheaper. Other political issues created the scenario that gave idiots the power to change the tech.

        • [Deactivated] on 28/09/2024 - 19:03
          -1

          Could you provide evidence MTM isn’t cheaper if they don’t need to upgrade later? Less work on last-mile installation, less hardware required, it was cheaper, provided they don’t upgrade later.

          With upgrades, the work was basically doubled and became even more expensive compared to if just do fiber all the way in the first place, which is what happens now, costing taxpayers more money. I totally agree they should have done all fiber in the first place, but I disagree that MTM isn’t cheaper - provided no upgrade is required. Nonetheless, it was a short-sighted policy, they should have known better and not going down this path.

          • Mechz on 28/09/2024 - 20:45

            @[Deactivated]: Because all the MTM garbage chews electricity that fibre doesn't. So the ongoing cost is much higher.
