Dodo is offering $20/mth off select plans for a 12 month period.
This bring the 25 Mbps plan down to $48.90 per month, which was the cheapest I could find for a service that is longer than 6 months.
Not sure if it is worth the risk with Dodo, but for that price I might give them a go.
If you need a router you can BYOD, or they have the following deals:
Essential Modem
$8.90 /mth for 12 months
or $99.90 upfront
Family Modem
$11.90 /mth for 12 months
129.90 upfront
It's $48.90 for the first 12 months, which I haven't seen cheaper from any other RSP
Flip connect, 39/mo for 5mo.
Flip is good but once you had connection with them, you are no longer considered new customer. So many who churn may not be able to get them.
I thought it was for 6 months?
Currently with them, and it's going great.
@s0805: Looks like it's changed.
In September when I joined it was that price for 6 months.
If you sign up now, it's only for 3 months.
@movieman: we may be talking 2 different things here. My exp was, if you are with them once, they will not consider you as their new customer for their discounted deals…is that what u mean
Better off with FuBar - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866782
Have it for my 101 granny who streams video and youtube - Yes she does!
Constant speeds from samknows box:
23.1 Mbps
9.46 Mbps
Yup did see that one and was going to join FuBar, until I saw this while browsing Facebook which was slightly cheaper.
With the referral below I will probably end up signing up to FuBar.
Thanks for the comment. I hadn't heard about Fubar before but have been looking to move away from Belong due to their recent price hike, so this looks promising as a straightforward option. Well done to your granny btw, getting to 101 is no means feat!
Swoop will do 25/5 with a referral code for $39 for 6 months too, for what that's worth.
Currently $54 minus $15 per month referral bonus= $39.
Good to know, thank you!
How has your experice with Swoop been ?
Yeah it's been completely fine. No dropouts, but then I didn't have any dropouts with Spintel or really anyone else either. FTTB where I am, and 100/20 is the max speed we can get at this address, and Swoop has been good for that. The little call centre was great, very personal service, and based in Oz.
Any chance you have a referral code ?
didn't know abt Swoop and stacking with referral. So good to know, I am leaning more to Mate $39 with 6 months (I know its not favorite for OZB) but for my needs of 25/5 it had no issues in past.
Does referral code work for 50/20?
This bring the 25 Mbps plan down to $48.90 per month, which was the cheapest I could find for a service that is longer than 6 months.
Why not 25/8 Mbps $47 for 6 months + 25/8.5 Mbps $47.90 for 6 months?
Trying to avoid having to change ISPs too often, especially for older parents or relatives
Fubar is good
Whats 25/5? is this adsl2+?
When ADSL2 was popular, the average speed was 8Mbps. Some got faster, a lot got slower.
So even 12/1 NBN is faster than the average speed ADSL2 had, before NBN was available.
lololol $68.90 for 25 Mbps! Most other ISPs give you 50 Mbps for that price.
