    I've been on Superloop 1000/50 FTTH since Oct 2023, it's been fast and reliable.
    If anyone wants a further $10 per month off any plan for the first 6 months, feel free to use my referral code

    ISP just today announced a 1000/1000 plan for $10 more than I was paying already, so immediately put an order in, not going to refuse that for just $120/month.
    1 week wait for the upgrade to an XGS-PON ONT, but that's not too bad.

    I bet not.

    Since ABB open to public their prices became inline with Telstra and Optus, the *premium* league ahem... Gotsta make them shareholders happy

    If your ABB loyalist, jumpy to 'BuddyTelco' it's their sub company to burn the candle at both ends.

    Personally Leaptel has been solid for the past 2 years.

    Superloop is great for the free router if you stay 2yrs, it's decent for an average house.

    New 1/1 symmetrical went in the other week, haven't bought any new SFP+ to ethernet adapters though so still limited by the 1Gb overheard.
    Once I get a couple SFP+ modules it should hopefully jump up a little more.
