We’re in Perth and with Belong - no issues and steady speeds.

I've moved my phone and Internet to http://www.hyperwave.com.au/, a local wireless private network non NBN provider. Fantastic service all round from a great bunch of guys, many are ex-Telstra core network guys.

Funny you should mention that, because we had a bloke from https://skyband.com.au/, come to the door on Wednesday arvo!

Sounds interesting but I'm just not sure we need it ???

I think the good thing nowadays is that most plans are on a month-to-month basis.
If you don't like it, you go to another provider.
That's what I have to do with my mobile.
I went from Virgin to Belong and now I have to change to someone else after 3 months as Belong stops to provide phone calls to the Netherlands where my family lives.

I was thinking of going with Aldi as their plan has credit for the Netherlands.
What deal did they have? $25/30 days for 18Gb and 100 minutes to the Netherlands is not too bad.

They have many options

I’m on the $35 plans and love the international time as well as the data rollover
Other plans are $15

$25

And $45

I found the $45 plan had to much data, so I changed when I had 380 gig of data rolling over to the next month
It’s the Telstra network

I believe Aldi only run on the restricted Telstra network, same as Belong, not the full network ???

I believe Boost are the only reseller that offers the full network ???

Of course, if you're only in the city, that probably won't make much / any difference, it's only if you're travelling that it may cause issues.

Be aware that the Belong network doesn't work with some handsets. I have a chinese phone that worked flawlessly with Telstra until i cracked it with the ridiculous Telstra pricing so switched to a cheaper Belong plan (liked the data rollover feature). I had data for internet and sms worked fine but could not make or receive calls. Belong support is absolutely hopeless.

Swapped top a cheap provider that uses Optus and all is good again

When I switched from Virgin to Belong, the signal was way better in the city.

Just jumped from Telstra ADSL to Aussie Broadband NBN . Besides obvious speed gain very happy with service . It took less time to sign with ABB including the time the NBN Tech took to hook us up (street pit and house) than it took to disconnect my service with Telstra over the phone !
Here for a good time, not a long time!
