I signed up with Launtel on the 13th of November 2020 at 11:25AM - Connected at 11:31am all working in 6mins, that's damn fast, churned from Leaptel visit: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=177 to view my leaptel review departure

^Signed up and connected in 6 mins, fastest churn ever to date :thumbup

I must admit i was a little nervous about joining Launtel, best thing was the 7 days trial :thumbup

Signed up to the 250Mbps/25Mbps HFC plan $3.80/daily for first 6 months so it varies cause of 30/31 days in the months
so on average it comes down to

Code: Select all

$3.80/daily x 30 days = $114 per month
$3.80/daily x 31 days = $117.80 per month
$3.80/daily x 28 days (February) = $106.40 per month
So really for 6 months there's some savings to be had

Some day when my HFC gets upgraded again mid next year i want to try out the 400/50 for a little while
Great thing about Launtel you can pause connection if you go for a holiday so no $$$ is taken out

Change speeds daily up/down no downgrade fee unlike other ISPS

You are given a CGNAT IP but you can do two things
1) Pay upfront deposit of $100 for a real static IPV4 IP Address (fully refundable if you leave launtel)
2) 0.15cents per day and works out too $4.50 per month for real static IPV4 /year comes to $54 year
IMO if you don't jump around providers every 6 months and will be a long term user, go Option 1)

Of course you have plenty of other options noted below in screen shots
It really is such an amazing company to have so much flexibility when it comes to picking Launtel as you're provider for NBN

Lot of options to pay your internet bill with launtel being a prepaid NBN Internet Company

My POI is very low used better for me, all the people are using ABB, plenty of bandwidth and no congestion yay :beer :thumbup
An interesting Feature on Launtel's portal a way to monitor any lan latency issues with your connection:

Only did locations that are important to me and those for now are those.

FTP/Gaming/Streaming/Surfing the web, no issues at all, it just works fantastic!

The days are gone where i was with companies like TPG/ABB Plus Many more who only allowed CC/DD which i never liked but aye if you want a service you don't have a choice
With launtel you totally have this choice and i am very Grateful for that choice so A+++ Thank you Launtel CEO Damo and rest of the team :thumbup

So on that note i will leave a picture of this quokka here:
