    Been on their Cable ever since it was Neighbourhood Cable, best net ever. Regularly get 800mbps+ even at night times. I'm gonna cry the day if I ever have to move house and get the shitty NBN

    Also it's worth noting, I've emailed them about this deal before and have been able to get it even as an existing customer, worth a try if you're already with them.

      I have NBN 1000 and regularly get 930-980.
      Fibre plans will go up to 2gig soon, so the NBN is way better. Shame the libs tried to short cut it so it gave the NBN a bad name.

          Price aside, FTTP wins from a technical standpoint. I doubt many have access to both iinet FTTB and nbn FTTP.

          • Chandler on 24/02/2025 - 14:10

            @Twix: Which was part of the point of NBN.

            From that technical standpoint nothing would be better than fibre. Yes 5G can get better speeds than a lot of people currently get via NBN, but that's either because they don't have fibre or are on a lower-speed plan. 5G is great to easily get a decent connection to a lot of people, but it still has limitations. If you had a high-density area with everyone trying to pull line speed on 5G, it'd bottleneck. Yeah, you could offset by putting in more towers, but it ends up getting to the point that you might as well put in hardlines to every customer, so you're back to fibre. The real benefit of 5G is that since there's no physical line, it can be used anywhere within range. For a home, it's not moving anywhere so that doesn't make sense.

            From a price standpoint, part of the point of the NBN was to do FTTP everywhere and use profits from higher-density areas to subsidise/cover losses from lower-density areas. That got changed and hence the country areas got shafted with "Fixed Wireless".

        • OzzyBrak on 23/02/2025 - 21:04

          Promo pricing to encourage a switch, as you need a tech visit to move your copper off NBN.

          You’ll also need an NBN tech to visit after 6 months to switch you back, they are hoping you’ll just stay and pay the normal price and booking appointments and internet downtime can be an issue.

          • matt_will_fix_it on 23/02/2025 - 22:30

            @OzzyBrak: No you don't - you can have NBN and this connected at the same time via two lead-ins.

            • OzzyBrak on 25/02/2025 - 14:09

              @matt_will_fix_it: You’d need to have a spare pair in your apartment, it would need to be terminated to a spare rj9 connector and socket too. The majority of apartments I’ve seen don’t have that wired in.

      Yes I did recently. Ultra for $39.99 6 months no contract too good. Tech visit to set up was hassle free, they contacted me promptly and I was able to nominate preferred date. Tech was in and out in under 30 minutes. Only issue was recent TPG outage in Sydney.
      Also I needed a new modem as my old TPG one died. Free modem included $10 postage 😀

          Oh yes. We moved from FTTC which was rock solid and now get short dropouts multiple times a day. They only last for 10 or 20 seconds, but it just enough to throw things off their game. I get two or three "unplanned maintenance" notices each week.

          Those co-axial cables are getting very long in the tooth, so at some point they are going to have to dig into their (ie our) pockets, despite the hardware upgrades they have been able to attach to them. I gather maintenance on coax is several orders of magnitude above FTTP.

      TPG was my first ever ISP way back when, and they were great. They had local offices in regional areas. And, for the time, the speeds were good. Even when I had to move away from the area that I had signed up in, and TPG didn’t service that area, they let me keep my email address. They told me that they would charge me $30/year to keep it, but they never did.

      Then in the middle of last year, I received an email saying that they were going out of the business of providing an email service! A separate company would be taking over all of their email accounts and everyone would be charged a monthly subscription fee for their services.

      I couldn't jump ship fast enough.

      So long, TPG email address. We had been together since 1995.

              I've just joined SL for the first time last year during their BF deal. I am thinking of leaving at some point so that is why I was asking.

              This 30 day cancellation policy, after you cancel, do they cut off your internet, as in, you don't get to use it at all? So if you joined another RSP, you'd still be paying SL for a service you're not receiving and then the new RSP for your new service. Is that how it works? Is that why people are upset about their cancellation policy?

              For example, if I wanted to signup to another RSP, can I cancel SL, then get the other RSP to activate the service 29 days later so I'm not paying twice over (SL and the other RSP), or does SL not work when you cancel it and you're still paying them money? Edit : I'm on FTTP, forgot to mention that.

              If that is how it works, it seems that SL is getting back the money from the deal they gave you. If that is the case, I can't believe I was suckered into this as the BF deal I got, they'll get almost all of that money back if I cancel.

      A technician needs to come onsite.
      iiNet FTTB uses your existing phone line inside your unit.

    Anyone ever been with Iinet, and signed up with a different household members name to appear as a 'new customer'? Trying to figure out how to get this as an existing Iinet customer, without too much disruption to our internet.

      Port out to TPG for 6 months, they have a good promo then come back

      Just call them… they will say deal is only for new customers….. be prepared to tell them you want to cancel… then… they might ask some supervisor before giving you the "new customer" deal…
      That's what I did… ;-)

      Only pain is… need to create new contract and even need a technician to visit onsite…. and they will charge you $10 to send another modem/router…..

    I'm thinking of making the switch from my Superloop NBN plan to iiNet's NBN plans as it is provides the same speed but is has cheaper ongoing costs. Unfortunately I don't qualify for iiNet ultra only the regular NBN. I'm not really familiar with the differences of these services and terminology. It seems like a straight savings in cost to me from superloop to iiNet. Was wondering if there's anything I am missing or should be concerned about?

      This is not NBN.
      Check on iiNet website for iiNet FTTB and see if that service is provided in your apartment
