We get asked this a lot

• Why should I switch to Goodtel?

  Good question. It's true - you could probably find a cheaper telco providing a similar quality of NBN services.

  But that's not what sets us apart. At Goodtel, doing good for the planet is our top priority. And that extends from our helpful support team who'll be there for you night and day, through to the core of why we exist as a company - to support our various charity partners as they help make the planet a better place.

• How long does it take to switch to the nbnᵀᴹ?

  If there has been a previous nbnᵀᴹ connection at your premises the standard time frame is 1-3 business days and there will be no additional work required by a technician. If your address has not been connected to nbnᵀᴹ before the standard time frame can be anywhere between 1-3 weeks and is dependent on your nbnᵀᴹ access technology type and technician availability. Your nbnᵀᴹ access technology will determine the exact method of installation for your technician.

• Can I use my existing modem or do I need a new one?

  As long as it's an nbnᵀᴹ compatible modem, in most cases yes you can. We can't guarantee every modem will work on our network but our technical team will do their best to get you connected. If you have an old modem that isnt nbnᵀᴹ-ready you can send it to us at Level 4, 80 Market St, South Melbourne, 3205 and we will arrange to have it recycled.

• What's the difference between the standard modem and the upgraded modem?
  The standard modem is the Netcomm NF10WV. It includes Wifi and is perfectly suitable for most homes. You can connect up to 4 devices to it using an ethernet cable plus as many wireless devices as you need. The Netcomm NF18ACV upgraded modem offers AC1600 Wifi, which provides wireless broadcast at 2.6Ghz and 5Ghz. This provides faster data transfer between different devices in your home. It also provides a greater range of Wifi meaning it will reach further locations in your home than the standard nbnᵀᴹ modem. If your house is particularly large or you simply want, best possible performance from your home network the Netcomm NF18ACV is for you. You can purchase the upgraded modem when completing your sign up at the check out.
• Can I upgrade or downgrade nbn plans easily?

  If you want to switch plans, all you need to do is let us know your desired plan via email or phone. Your plan will be changed within 48 hours. There is no cost to change plans other than the difference in the plan cost.
  

• Which nbnᵀᴹ plan is best for me?

  For the majority of our customers, the Family plan is the best balance between price and performance with up to 42mpbs during the evening. It'll cover the needs of 3-4 regular users streaming, browsing, studying, and using social media.

  However, if you're an individual or couple, the Casual plan is just fine. Speeds up to 21mbps should cover your needs unless you're downloading huge files.

  For larger (4+) families or users who need to use the internet intensively, our Superfast plan is the best option with blazing-fast speeds of up to 83mpbs - ideal for nearly any online activity.
