Received an email from Flybuys "Optus Black Friday offers are here!"

Optus 1000/50Mbps NBN for $99 for the first 6 months, plus collect 35,000 points (worth $175) when you stay connected for 3 months.

Optus Typical Evening Speed 780/40Mbps.

Supply your own router or..

Pay $0 for our Ultra WiFi Modem Gen 2 when you stay connected for 36 months (normally $306). That's a $8.50/mth discount on the modem for each month you stay connected. If you cancel before 36 months, you'll need to pay out any remaining cost of the modem, e.g. if you cancelled with 12 months remaining, you'd need to pay $102 ($8.50/mth x 12 months remaining).

edit: removed the cashback option as it can't be claimed with Flybuys offer

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2024

  • How bad is optus NBN HFC? hahah Is it worth it for the 17,500 Velocity points I'll get :p

    • +2

      Real Bad

      • I have Optus FTTP 100/20 and it's pretty good I get 110 down 24/7

  • Can you double dip flybuys with cashback. Didnt think you could

  • +1

    Note:

    All internet & mobile plans must remain connected for a minimum of 120 days from sign-up date to be eligible for cashback.

    • My experience shows you might get away with that, last June I signed up for similar deal and ported out within in less than a month but still got the flybuys. In saying that plenty of people signed up and stayed but still had to chase for point so treat it like a gamble.

  • +2

    Note:

    Cashback is ineligible if combined with any third party offers from Flybuys and/or any other rewards programs,

    • oh was able to claim it last time. I'll remove TCB from the post then.

  • +2

    35000 flynuys points are worth $175, not $150.

  • +7

    Ozbargainers don't let other Ozbargainers sign up to Optus…

  • $55.25/month for 4 months.

  • Careful everyone, it's Optus.

  • 1000kb

  • Shit i just signed up to superloop. This is better deal

    • +1

      but surely superloop is better nbn.. isn't it ?

      • Dunno i always go 1000 and everyone i been with mostly 500+ with random 200s

        • Im with superloop, unless you are after the 35k points, they offer the same $99 for 6 months
          then $$109 after that

          I consistently get 900+/40+ on the lightspeed plan via ethernet
          unless your talking about wifi, I get between 500+/40+ to 700+/40+ depending on which end of the house Im at

          the only downvote would be for the 30 days notice you have to give
          but I have been with them for some time now & wont change unless a better deal
          comes around anyways

    • +1

      it's not if you use topcashback

    • It really isn't. Youd need to jump ship after 6 months on a pretty crap network.

  • They haven't given me the points after 5 months. Every time I contact optus, they try to sell me a mobile plan instead of helping.

    • I usually just go straight to the point and ask them not to do "health check" on my account. Waste of time.

    • +1

      Lodge complaint with TIO.

  • +1

    Does anyone know if it's possible to pick a start date? I'm at the last page of check out but didn't seem to find an option for it.

    Trying to replace my current NBN service with this.

    • +1

      This stumped me too. I want to changeover mid next month. Great deal for 3-4 months on 100/20.

    • +3

      You have to call them after sign up to change activation date.

      • Aaah thanks for this..the online chat wasted my time and the only relevant comment was that the connection will only become active when I plug in! So may be best to do a new connection instead of a replacement connection so a different UNi port is issuedl.

  • +1

    not falling for this trick again Optus and Flybuys never pay up on these promos and their customer service to chase up points it's a shocker they both blame each other and give you the run around

  • I read the small print and it says.

    new services ordered via the Flybuys portal only

    When I go via flybuys, I end up at different address. campaign.optus.com.au/fixed/flybuys.
    The page looks the same and the deal link has ?source=flybuys_metro_campaign in it.

    Subtle and I'm going to go via the flybuys portal to remove any chance of sneaky business.

  • Hooked up today, but I had to nag them to do it even though we'd set a date. My speedtracker shows around 935/50 consistently, checking every two hours. Jitter and latency are higher than Superloop, but it's fine for work calls and streaming. Now waiting for that cashback!
