Superloop Broadband Referral Program

[daft009]

So similar to Aussie Broadband, the other leader in NBN is definitely SuperLoop, Superloop - Home Broadband
You will see countless comparisons between the two, some will swear by one and others the other.
Either way, you cannot go wrong!

Here is my referral link for SuperLoop: Superloop Members Services | Welcome

This link gets you $10 off per month for 6 months (so a $60 saving in total).

In return I get a 10% credit off my plan for 6 months for every referral in the month of May. If someone uses my link 1st June onwards I get 5% credit off my plan for 6months instead.

This offer is valid for all new customers who sign up to any SuperLoop NBN or fixed wireless plan

Don't forget these guys.. Just as good as Aussie Broad band.

Last night (around dinner) I was getting a consistent download speed of 12.8MB/sec on the 100Mbit plan which should top out at 10MB/sec!

Hey @daft009 We get a 400 MB/sec in Los Angeles. It will be a while for Australia to catch up.
We are Superloop shareholders as we like to invest with Bevan Slattery.

Yeah I too have been watching Bevan lately though only very recently, since covid mess began.

Wish we (the NBN) had gone fibre to every home to begin with as then speeds could scale with future needs/requirements.. Nothing faster than light!

Unfortunately, because of the Libs and Malcolm (“father of the internet “) and Tony (”
Do we really want to invest $50 billion of hard earned taxpayers money in what is essentially a video entertainment system?” “[We] are absolutely confident that 25 megs is going to be enough, more than enough, for the average household.”),

Australia is stuck with a third world internet for years to come.

Sigh.

In my apartment in Madrid two years ago I was getting 600Mbit symmetrical wireless connections!

I've just switched from ABB to Superloop using @daft009 's code - the extra $10/month referral discount convinced me to churn before the ABB increase took effect.

The switch was completely painless. Applied online at 6:06am, ABB connection dropped at 6:07am, and I was online with Superloop exactly 270 seconds later at 6:12am. Both providers use IPoE/DHCP with no VLAN tag, so I didn't need to change a single setting on my router.

Initial speedtests are virtually the same, as expected (96 down 35 up on FTTB)

International routing is excellent thanks to Superloop's investment in Indigo - traffic to Europe notably routes SYD-PER-SIN-MRS-PAR-LON (presumably Indigo hands off to SEA-ME-WE 4) vs the usual AU-Pacific-USA-Atlanic-EU routing seen with ABB and many other providers.

Some approx latency ranges from Sydney for anyone interested. Happy to provide speed tests on request.

PER 50-52 (3 hops)
SIN 95-100 (4 hops)
TYO 130-140 (11 hops)
LAX 155-160 (4 hops)
LON 250-260 (9 hops)

I'm very happy with Superloop's performance so far, especially considering the cost of $75/month (100/40 500GB) for the next 6 months, instead of the $105/month ABB will be going to shortly.

If anyone would be kind enough to use my referral code please click here.

I'm on HFC and I'm on 100/20.
On downloads I can easily get beyond the 100Mbit, downloading around 120ish Mbit (12-12.5MB/sec). Uploads are around 18-19Mbit

FWIW 12.5MB/s is bang on 100mbps. This is a benefit of the recent NBN over-provisioning change - seems very unlike NBN to do something nice for the consumer!!!

I note its an extra $5/month for a static IP. However, IPs are usually pretty stable unless they re-do their network segment. Have you noticed much change in your public IP?

Mine hasn't changed in the 15 days I've been connected.

Hi @TheRealTMA,

Don't worry. Another ~$3B is being spent to upgrade small pockets of the network. I am sure in another ~$50B time we will have what we could have had in 2007 for $35B. Though you and I may not be around to see it. What was the slogan again? Sooner, Faster, Cheaper?

I think we are at the ~$60B mark by now.

Those responsible should be ashamed and should be put on trial. Absolutely disgusting.

Regards,
Peter @ Oeck.

Looks like superloop have got rid of their limited data plans and now all are unlimited, making them significantly less price competitive

Look at a Future Broadband. My referral code is HX3738 - get $35 and 1TB data in your databank.

I actually like the databank model - data you don't use builds up to a max of 5TB, and you can then go down a plan tier if need be.

I presume that's a one off credit of $35 (which doesn't even cover the setup fee these guys charge ).

 

[DeKa]

Correct. Future actually provision a business service for home use which requires manual work hence the fee. That improves reliability so I’m all for it.

Getting technical now but it’s a static routed IP service so there’s no concept of authentication or DHCP. The moment your router is plugged in you have internet. Setting that up one-time costs money I understand.

I was happy to pay $20 one off (55-35) for that reliability.

I'm fairly technical, but I'm not really seeing the huge advantage. A DHCP request takes less than a second and occurs so infrequently there is no observable impact.No authentication needed on a HFC connection (can't comment on others). Anyway....not really a concern one way or the other for me. Just an interesting point

On the whole I agree but it is one less thing that can go wrong, so I’ll take it.

Whatever the case, my Future connection hasn’t missed a beat, and they say they have “Fast Connections to major Cloud & Content Providers via low-contention NBN CVCs” which so far has meant great performance for all the WFH apps I use.

So I signed up with a referral code (from a mate for Superloop). The entire process was really painless. Superloop have a promo going with discounted rates ($15 off the plan for the first 6 months). Received my first bill and didn't get the $10/month.

I opened a support ticket with their supposed great support. In ten days I followed up via email twice to the automated original response. Tried calling this morning and gave up after being on a call for 20+ minutes and progressing one in the queue. Finally spoke to someone this afternoon. Short version is since I'm getting the $15 they won't also give you the referral $10 discount. This was not remotely obvious during the sign-up process. Towards the end there is a link to a Superloop page which contains maybe a dozen documents. Buried in one of those is where they state it won't stack.

So this coupled with terrible support means I really couldn't recommend Superloop to anyone. I'm sure others have had better experiences than me though.

 

[moa999]

Fairly common for discounts not to stack, but pretty poor coding to allow you to enter a referral code if that is the case.
