woot, iinet have upgraded all of their plans!!!!!

i just dropped back from home 5 to home 3, so effectively have the same amount of dls i had before, for $20 a month less

http://www.iinet.net.au/products/wp-summary-tables.pdf

https://toolbox.iinet.net.au/?upgrade_plan=1

they've reduced off peak times by a fair chunk, but still, gigs for free!
2am-8am on the smaller plans
1am-9am on the larger plans

great news, i reckon time for our place to drop back we never get close to the cap

same with tpg... 120gb woop!

although, be wary of "downgrade" fees... buggers!

cost me $19 to downgrade

hrmmm ...

old quota new quota
peak off-peak peak off-peak
22GB 30GB 50GB 50GB
old peak/off-peak times new peak/off-peak times
peak off-peak peak off-peak
12noon - 2am 2am - 12noon 8am - 2am 2am - 8am

should i click the button? it makes me think there is something hiding there.

Sweet, I'm close to my cap and it resets in a couple of days. Now instead I can just up it!

I'm also wondering why they are asking us to upgrade now and not wait until mid Jan when it happens automagically?

same with tpg... 120gb woop!

although, be wary of "downgrade" fees... buggers!

I 'Downgraded' with TPG, no fees. 10$ Less a month. 60GB/60GB On/Off from 30GB.
I was usually just hitting the cap a few days before end of month (if I did hit the cap) so now i'll never hit the cap... and i'm spending 10 bucks less.

Yeah, I "upgraded" earlier this week with TPG, went from $90 @ 90GB shaped to 256, to $90 @ 100GB shaped to 1M nice!

well this isn't actually really all that good for me, i'm on naked 3 and i'm going to go from 15on/20off to 30/30. I was hoping to downgrade my plan, but they didn't upgrade the naked 2 enough, probably purposely. But after last months capping i received, i spose i better just be thankful.
Also new offpeak hours SUCK

offpeak for me is only for dling, so really, i could get 2 hours of offpeak time and id still be in front

perhaps you need to lrn2schedule

perhaps i like to wake up at 8 and start my downloads and kill them before i go to work at 9 or whatever

or download/surf crap on saturday and sunday mornings

also

i do schedule if i need to, utorrent built in scheduler.

i'm on home 4 and can't decide whether to just stay there or downgrade to home 3.

hmmmmmm.....

Ooher extra 10 gig on TPG for me sweet :D

Awesome!@ I get an extra 40gb/mth on my nakedness.

How much does it cost to downgrade your plan?

they've reduced off peak times by a fair chunk

...wonder why they did that :/ The 6am-12midday period was handy on weekends if you were doing stuff in the mornings. Didn't go on to your peak quota.

cost me $19 to downgrade

wtf i just want to stay on home 2 but i need to pay $19 to stay on it and get the new 10 + 10? gf, gonna call them on this one.

I'm assuming they changed the peak/off-peak times to reflect updated utilisations statistics on the network.

cost me $19 to downgrade

Which is BS. I'm just complaining because sometimes it'd be nice if you could use your limit, upgrade (the only way to uncap yourself) and then downgrade the next month, costing only $20 for the extra little quota.

But no, i's more like $30-40.

not bad. prolly time i started looking for some adsl2.. still on optus cable :/ the home3 dealie looks good... same price as i am paying now n twice the datas! does iinet adsl2 count uploads towards your monthly cap?

yes.

wtf i just want to stay on home 2 but i need to pay $19 to stay on it and get the new 10 + 10? gf, gonna call them on this one.

its free to upgrade.

does iinet adsl2 count uploads towards your monthly cap?

only on naked plans, normal plans uploads are free

the only non awesome thing about these upgrades is the reducing of offpeak time, but as i mentioned, im awesome at scheduling, so that wont affect me at all.

The 6am-12midday period was handy on weekends if you were doing stuff in the mornings. Didn't go on to your peak quota.

Yah, was awesome to do non-schedulable bandwidth intensive things and have it not count towards your peak quota.
Ah well, i suppose that was to combat the apparent slowness on weekend mornings.

IINET YOU'RE HAVING LESS AND LESS ADVANTAGES OVER DIRTY TPG EVERY DAY

Just recently upgraded from 25/25 too 60/60 with tpg. Very happy.
My only complaint is the off peak times are now 2am-8am.

I schedule my torrents overnight as well, but I did enjoy waking up in the morning on the weekend and downloading linux isos so I could play/watch them in the afternoon.

HAY GUYS WHERE DO I SIGN UP

I am totally confused myself.

I just got a home 5 plan hooked up (not naked)(no voip no phone) two days ago and am about to pay the first months bill which is 69.95 for me.

Currently my qouta is 22 gig on and 30 gig off. When i go into upgrade plan area of toolbox I am presented with home 5 as 25 gig on peak and 30 gig off peak (with no phone and no voip)

Why won't my qouta just change automatically if I am already on home 5!

Do i upgrade it myself or just sit tight?

p.s your upgrade link spook does not work for me.

Nice one casa! Didn't fall into their hype trap!

They're trying to sidegrade me from home 4 bundled with voip, to home4 unbundled.

Not sure if they take me for a fool or what.

I just changed my tpg from the 150 to 160 plan
10gb extra free and I now get 512k/512k when shaped

bonus!@

and I now get 512k/512k when shaped

thats worth something.

yeah it's like not being shaped at all, just no linux isos for a while

don't do it tiny, i'd rather have 3 gig less and 120hours more time in the month to use my offpeak quota

I think it is just a bit buggy, yesterday they were trying to charge me to upgrade to the same plan, then even if I selected home 5 ( a real upgrade ) they wanted to charge me a 'downgrade' fee for that, too.

Used the link from OP and it registered it properly for me. But it said a friend would downgrade from his home6 usage to home 4 for $10 more or something, so obviously it has some issues.

If you're not seeing what you should be, either wait it out for auto migration and see what happens or call iinet support.

Haha those plans are hilarious. The new plans give you less gigs to download LOL

Why won't my qouta just change automatically if I am already on home 5!

Because they're nice and give you a choice?

Anyone gone from Node to TPG?

I'm thinking about changing due to massive difference in price, but I'm scared about TPG service / contention ratios.

I upgraded! Don't mind the change in off peak time since I use a scheduler for my ISOs.

The toolbox site just told me:

Sorry..

Due to a large number of customers attempting to access Toolbox at this time, this page is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Thank you for your patience.

fail!

f*** if I stay on the same plan I am gunna go from 52gigs (home4 bundled) to 100gigs. ADSL come a long way from 3gig 512k.

Can't wait to see my kill:death ratio with that many internets.

Just upgraded my TPG plan - extra 40gig for the same price. Seems silly it doesn't upgrade automatically, but I am happy.

If you're on 'Node via Telstra DSLAM check your plan!

I just did and got an extra 10 gigs while saving ten bucks. Went from 109 for 40G to 99 for 50G. Merry f***ing Christmas!

... kind of cheeky though that they didn't auto-upgrade, given that its more for less with no fee!

I think it is just a bit buggy,

No thats whats supposed to happen, the new plans are bulls*** for some people, my "upgrade" is the same as casas.

Basically now you dont get any bonus for bundling voip, if i drop voip then upgrade my plan to the next one up i would get a plan with 25/30 instead... huuuuuge upgrade, thanks iinet! If i had clicked that link without thinking (apparently some c***s on whirlpool did lol) i would be down 12 gigs and have useless voip.

Seems silly it doesn't upgrade automatically, but I am happy.

Not really, they want you to keep paying for less value so it saves them money.

Yes it would be nice, but TPG don't really value service that highly.
You'd know if you've ever tried to get support from them :)

I moved from Optus cable to TPG ADSL2+
Been fairly happy with it.

Not as stable, we do get some dropouts every now and then.
Speed is great, just as good as cable was, upstream is far superior (cable was 15k).
Offpeak window is a bit small but if you have good download speeds from the other end its no problem. Just queue them up overnight and they are done by morning. We have a dedicated box we all remote to and queue downloads for the house, works well.
Overall quota = massive compared to cable, main reason we went TPG.

No, everyone does it. Hell, phone companies do it with phone plans too.

Oh that sucks. Not a VOIP user so didn't really pay much attention to it.

14:41 reso • lucky I'm not a voip user
14:41 reso • I'd probably have fallen for it

True - and unless I had seen this thread I wouldn't have known about it. It's the second time I have changed plans with them, and it's been fairly easy both times.

Actually I've been pretty happy with their service so far. There were a few speed issues when I first had it connected, but this turned out to be a Telstra problem. TPG were really good with everything - patient, kept me up to date regularly with all the goings on, and organised the Telstra technician visits for me. Have a few drop outs every now and then, but have never had a totally foolproof connection, even in London.
