Re: NBN providers

[Ronda Brown]

In fairness to Westnet, My NBN connection was in the very early days... I was 
one of Westnet/iiNet first connections from ADSL to NBN.

So yes, some mistakes were made in the early days and mine almost got me to 
file a 'Breach Of Contract' with them as they had failed to fulfill all of its 
contractual obligations.
The problem was sorted...

Re: NBN providers

[petercrisp]

 
Thanks for that Ronni, it would be frustrating to find out they
"loose" your phone number and that is enough to put people off it. It
should be military precision as this is their core business managing
peoples affairs like this!

 

The jury is getting closer to a decision ...

  Hi Peter, 
 I have been on NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) with Westnet/iiNet
since April 2014.   NBN RESIDENTIAL 8 PLAN (100GB + 100GB) + 50/20MBPS
+ FIBRE PHONE)$74.95 + $19.95 = $94.90 mth. 
I chose Fibre Phone so I could keep my current landline phone number I

After the NBN guys  completed the laying of cable to my house and
installing of the NBN Fibre Wall Outlet, NBN Power Supply Unit & NTD

for me to connect my equipment and get my Network connected and
activated. 
 _MY NBN FTTP SETUP:_  _Equipment_:  3TB Airport Time Capsule (4th

Ethernet CAT-6 cable from Time Capsule WAN port to UNI-D 1 Port on NTD

 Checked my Dual-Band Network settings - Router Mode: DHCP and NAT

Hi Peter,

I have been on NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) with Westnet/iiNet since April 
2014.
NBN Residential 8 Plan (100GB + 100GB) + 50/20Mbps + Fibre Phone)$74.95 + 
$19.95 = $94.90 mth. 
I chose Fibre Phone so I could keep my current landline phone number I have had 
for “Ever” ;-)

After the NBN guys  completed the laying of cable to my house and installing of 
the NBN Fibre Wall Outlet, NBN Power Supply Unit & NTD (Network Termination 
Device) in my house it was very quick and easy for me to connect my equipment 
and get my Network connected and activated.

My NBN FTTP Setup:
Equipment:  3TB Airport Time Capsule (4th Generation) and Oricom eco5200 phone
Connections: 3TB Airport Time Capsule (4th Generation) connected via Ethernet 
CAT-6 cable from Time Capsule WAN port to UNI-D 1 Port on NTD (Network 
Termination Device), and my Oricom eco5200 Phone cable to UNI-V 1 Port on NTD.

Checked my Dual-Band Network settings - Router Mode: DHCP and NAT remained the 
same and checked all my Macs (3), iPad & iPhone connected. Ran Speed tests and 
generally tested my Network thoroughly… all worked well.

Westnet’s actions were:
1. Wait to confirm the NBN service is fully working

2. Cancel the ADSL service, and wait 2-3days for your ADSL codes to drop off 
your phone line.
NB We wont cancel the home phone (as we need the number active to port it)

3. When the codes are dropped, we will then submit a request to convert you 
home number into a VOIP number.
Process takes 5-7 biz days.

4. Then you will have the exact same number, as a VOIP number and no one will

Re: NBN providers

[petercrisp]

Yes, it is certainly a viable option - to do nothing. "ADSL1 Plus" is
good enough for online streaming through Apple TV or Youtube so the
only real benefit to go NBN is if downloading large files quickly is
important to you.

 

Jury still out on this.

Yes, we are getting around 75, rather than 100. But, 75 is seriously fast!

Re: NBN providers

[petercrisp]

Thanks for that Susan, will review and consider. I am wary of quoted
speeds when they say "up to 25Mbps" and the "up to" bit I see as an
'out' for them when you don't actually experience the quoted speed. So
you have to up the ante and go to a faster plan. So the bargain
priced service you thought you were getting is eroded by having to up
spec to next level or two levels up.

Pete.

Re: NBN providers

 Thanks for that Gordon, I knew there had to be some satisfied
Wetnet NBN subscribers out there. Will investigate their plans a
little further now.

 

Regards

 

Pete.

Hi Peter,
 My ADSL with Westnet was great, but the NBN is way better.  I am on
the 50/20 plan and no complaints.  Just remember that those speeds
will depend on other user activity. 
 Westnet advise of any down time well ahead and such times are often
during off peak anyway. 
 Very happy with Westnet and NBN. 
 Regards

 Westnet/iiNet rate VERY poorly in online reviews of their NBN service
but this maybe skewed by disgruntled people which I'm sure exist with
all providers but I am seeking further feedback.

 Optus and Westnet both rate well and a bit dearer that Westnet.

 Anyone here got any first hand transition experience from ADSL to NBN
and provider experience?

 I'd rather not change my email address if I can help it too.

NBN providers

[Peter Crisp]

Hi muggers, I have been with Westnet for many years with an ADSL service and 
pretty bulletproof the whole time. Service has been good when it has been 
called upon so can't complain really. Recently NBN is installed in my street 
and is now available. I looked online and see there are 119 potential providers 
I could use!

Westnet/iiNet rate VERY poorly in online reviews of their NBN service but this 
maybe skewed by disgruntled people which I'm sure exist with all providers but 
I am seeking further feedback.

Optus and Westnet both rate well and a bit dearer that Westnet. 

Anyone here got any first hand transition experience from ADSL to NBN and 
provider experience?

I'd rather not change my email address if I can help it too.
