nbn 100/40 $70/Month for 1st 6 Months, 250/25 $77/Month, 1000/50 $91/Month @ Neptune

690

I’ve never heard of Neptune before and found them through an ad on Instagram.

  • 50/20 $63/Month, doesn’t seem like an especially good price.
  • 100/40 $70/Month first 6 months
  • 250/20 $77/Month
  • 1000/50 $91/Month

Neptune seems to be a new provider who claims to focus on privacy and security.

Free inclusions:
- Free static IPV4 address
- Claims to include 2 “quantum resistant” VPN tunnels
- DNS sinkhole that blocks ads, trackers and speeds up loading

Primary POP is in Melbourne.
Their FAQs are pretty transparent about utilisation and latency rates for different states and internationally.

I’m currently on AGL 100/20 for $69 which was the cheapest I could find so the extra 20 upload for $1 more seems like a great deal.

WHOIS of the domain name shows the owner is Recloud Pty Ltd.

      how do we get access to these other plans? can;t seem to find it on the site when trying to sign up. wanting to go with the 500/200 for $112

        Put in your address and toggle on “ FTTP High Upload Speed Plans”

    • Thanks for the information, can I ask where did you get that screenshot from, or how can I find same information for other ISP?

      Thanks

    $100/month for 100/40 after 6 months???

    What is the use of a VPN that has your ISP as the end point?

    The Atmosphere DNS feature is just a way less configurable NextDNS or Adguard DNS (or piHole for that matter), I feel like anyone who knows enough to use a DNS sinkhole is going to want something more configurable anyway…

    • Goes from me saying, that's a decent price to wtf?? in a split second.

    • +10

      Aren’t they all the same? Switch after 6 months!

    • You don’t have to use it if you just want the cheaper prices.

    include 2 “quantum resistant” VPN tunnels

    What does that even mean ?

    • +1

      Means your data can't be cracked by off the shelf quantum computers, only the ones that <REDACTED> use

      • +1

        Means they use elliptic curve instead of RSA.

        • +1

          Republic of South Africa disagrees

    • +2

      In a quantum-resistant VPN, a post-quantum KEM is used to establish a shared secret between the client and the server over an insecure channel. This shared secret can then be used as a pre-shared key or as input to derive symmetric keys for encrypting and decrypting the actual data transmitted over the VPN tunnel.

    • +5

      Means it simultaneously works and doesn't work

      • +2

        Schrödinger's VPN

      • +1

        It works but only if you never look at it

      • Your data is probably arriving, therefore it is.

    • No AntMan/Wasp. Possibly InnerSpace

  • +1

    Just signed up to them, was pretty seamless only took 2 mins to be disconnected and just had to change my router internet type to Dynamic IP and away we went. Doesn't look like they have any actual help desk numbers so imagine they won't be great if needing tech support

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Signed up for 250/100 ($91)

    Hope high upload speeds are more common next year after 6m promo ends. Running Plex, Immich and Moonlight (self-hosted GeForce Now)

  • Found them on Instagram too. Their plan page mentions nothing of promo pricing or what the price will revert to after promo, the FAQ states a free static IP address, yet the CIS states this is $5pm. Better ISPs out there for the post promo pricing.

    • +3

      Just join then churn after 6 months

      • I'm at the point where I want a good, reliable connection instead of chasing discounts. Good luck to people joining them, though.

    • +3

      It does tell you what it goes to after promo ends just select the plan and it shows you eg

      1000/50 $91/Month Then after 6 months $130

      • Yeah just noticed that, so intuitive!

    • These deals are to attract, not keep.

  • +1

    IPoE too, very naise… (Borat) 👍

  • I would like to know more about the VPN. Where is it connected to and can you port fwd for torrents?

  • +2

    1000/50 $91/Month @ Neptune

    Far out

    • +3

      Good for 6 months after that $130

  • After my little research, the cheapest NBN 50/20 is Kogan for 59/month

    • Kogan support is the worst out of all NBN providers though I've found.

  • Will switch once my 6 month promo finishes with ABB.

  • I just chatted to them. Seem to have helpful support. This service offering is like Launtel without daily plans but monthly hence cheaper. Same Launtel like features such as speed change provisioning on the day. Free pause. They have a referral link on their user portal so if I sign up does anyone want to send me theirs for a free month each? I assume this is OK to ask on OB?

  • If you qualify through Commbank Yello, the More Telecom 100/20 (actually 100/17) might be the cheapest 100Mbps plan at $62.40 for 12 months.

  • 1000/50 for $91 looks good, seems to be the normal price. Bit worried about their Melbourne only POP, I'm in Sydney. Will I notice a downgrade in normal browsing, Zoom, download speeds, 4K streaming? No gaming. Compared to a provider who has a Sydney POP?

    • +3

      Hey, we actually publish latency and utilisation graphs on the site: https://www.neptune.net.au/faq

      While we do only have a Melbourne POP at the moment, we are moving into Sydney in the new year. Until then you'll attract latency overheads of about 10ms in Sydney. Not noticeable for Zoom, voice chat, downloads, and streaming.

      • Good to know. Is this offer running constantly? I'm on contract till Feb and will look to change in early Feb.

        • You can assume we'll have some kind of introductory offer for the foreseeable future, as we're a start up looking to build our customer base.

      • What about Brisbane?

        • No concrete plans for Brisbane yet, but given SEQs population rest assured it's on the cards.

  • I'm currently on 1000/50 HFC with Telstra. Interested in the 1000/400 with Neptune.

    Can I get 1000/400 with HFC, or will need to upgrade to FTTP? Do I qualify for a FTTP upgrade?

    • Hey there, to get the 1000/400 you'd need to qualify for an FTTP upgrade, however HFC is not part of the FTTP free upgrade program.

  • These guys look good
