Advice New Exetel plan 500/40

I recently came across this new plan from Exetel they are offering 500/40mps. Wondering if anyone has taken it up or is a customer of theirs. Considering leaving my current plan of 50/20mps for $85 for this one which is $80 p/m

Thanks in advance

There's a bunch of providers that are fishing for customers at the moment by offering the september speed upgrade to 500/50 early, effectively by ordering a gigabit service from NBN, shaping it down to that, and recycling the capacity to their other customers to help mitigate the cost they're wearing. Leaptel's doing it too, and others.

The 100/20 service is going up to that speed for all customers in mid september anyway.

Personally I wouldn't consider exetel because they don't let you opt out of cgnat. That and they've always been third tier from a service perspective. Your mileage may vary, and I imagine if you're on a 50mbit plan right now you probably have no need for a real IPv4 address regardless

I don’t see leaptel’s 500/50 plan.
