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.

    $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…

      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.

  • doot on 17/11/2024 - 10:00

    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.

    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?

  • dazweeja on 17/11/2024 - 11:14

    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.

    • jefflang007 on 17/11/2024 - 12:21

      Reads as $96 for me.

      • dazweeja on 17/11/2024 - 12:55

        Commbank customers get 30-40% off (if you meet certain criteria). There's an offer in the Commbank app if you qualify: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/855701

        Edit: 100Mbps for as low as $57.60 if you have a home loan with them and $62.40 for transaction accounts.

  • wots on 17/11/2024 - 11:14

    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?

    • Associatedmesge @ Neptune Internet on 17/11/2024 - 11:24

      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.

      • playaz91 on 17/11/2024 - 11:56

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

        • Associatedmesge @ Neptune Internet on 17/11/2024 - 12:08

        So in Adelaide, am I likely to seen any issues in streaming a 4k video file?

        Also, if using a Telstra modem currently with boosters, can I use these with your service and do you provide support to do so?

        • Associatedmesge @ Neptune Internet on 17/11/2024 - 12:27

          In Adelaide you'll attract a small latency overhead (marginally less than Sydney), but this doesn't typically affect streaming quality of a video file. If latency was high (+150ms) you may have issues with live video streams, however.

      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.

    • Twix on 17/11/2024 - 13:03

      HFC tops out at 1000/50 for now. HFC is getting 1000/100 and 2000/100 next year.

      To swap from HFC to FTTP you need to spend like $15k to $50k. HFC to FTTP quote link.

      A lot of these smaller ISP's don't get mentioned. I think its a good thing in a way as a lot of the people who talk on that site tend to be welded to their own ISP and troll others.

Ozbargain seem way more willing to give smaller ISP a chance provided the price is a bargain and they get most things right… given these are just small businesses.

            Everyone keeps what they signed up for.. so.. The current price is actually pretty good anyway. In fact given its likely to be causing them to make a loss as it was very very cheap… I think hats off for honouring all the sign ups before they updated it.

I wish them well. Hope to see them here again but better prepared next time.

      Well I can see that it is needed as I am one of those who signed up to the 1000/50 plan. The sign up process and the churn is fanstastic especially as you have the choice to use the same port on the NTD that helps if you are churning a gig plan (will bork if you use different FTTP ntd port). Portal is excellent doing everything right with lots of info options etc.

      The local speeds are fine.. to local speed test servers..

      Now for the no so great.

      Did a test of downloading files from a US usenet server using multi threads and max out at about 480Mbps.. For comparison, Leaptel is about 700 and Launtel about 800 (when they don't shape). So there is either shaping or capacity issues, probably at the POI as I worry about with these smaller ISPs.

      To be fair to them, I will likely stay for the long term as these are the expected sorts of issues with an ISP is getting established… more customers will give them the ability to expand things like capacity and so on. If the service works well with streaming local based TV and sport outlets and the connect is solid I look forward to when the speed limitations on the high end plans are solved. Having said that, $130 is a lot if something is not working as expected.
