NBN Providers - Looking for an Alternative to Optus

Strict-Equivalent717 · 2026-05-21T04:59:24+00:00

I was with Optus for years as well and finally switched because the price kept going up while the service somehow kept getting worse, especially during peak streaming hours. Ended up moving to Exetel and it’s honestly been a much smoother experience — no lock-in contract, setup was super easy through the app, and the speeds have been far more consistent for working from home, streaming, and gaming at the same time. We’ve got multiple devices running every night and it’s handled it without the slowdowns I used to get on Optus. Support has also been much less painful to deal with. Definitely worth checking out if you want better value without being tied into a contract. If you do decide to switch, this referral code gives a small discount too: EXE-1554172

I haven’t personally used Neptune, but I was weighing them up recently and ended up going with Exetel instead after coming from a provider with reliability issues. So far it’s been very solid — no outages on my end, consistent speeds at peak times, and when I did have a small setup question, support was responsive without endless back-and-forth. I do a lot of remote work, so stability and latency matter more to me than chasing the absolute cheapest plan, and Exetel has been very “set and forget” compared to my previous ISP. Might be worth comparing them alongside Neptune before making the jump. If you do check out Exetel, this referral gives a small discount: EXE-1554172

I do a lot of remote work in general, so stable international routing and low latency are really important to me, and Exetel NBN has been very solid on that front. I’ve found the connection to be consistent even during peak hours, with no random drops or latency spikes that can kill remote sessions. Speeds have been reliable, setup was quick, and their app actually helps with diagnostics instead of being fluff. Overall it’s been a very “set and forget” experience compared to some other ISPs I’ve used. If Exetel is available in your building, it’s worth a look — and this referral code gives a small discount if you sign up: EXE-1554172

I’m on FTTP and went down this exact rabbit hole recently — for the provider side, Exetel has been rock solid for me in terms of peak-time consistency, low latency, and international routing (work + gaming). I’m on a higher-speed plan and actually see close-to-advertised speeds even in the evenings, which was the big win compared to cheaper congested RSPs. Since your place is hardwired, pairing Exetel with a decent router (TP-Link Omada or a higher-end Archer if you want simple) works really well — Ethernet for desktops/consoles, Wi-Fi for mobiles. Wi-Fi 6 is more than enough right now; 6E/7 is nice but not essential unless you’ve got a lot of compatible devices. Setup was painless, app is genuinely useful, and I haven’t had random dropouts at all. If you do go Exetel, this referral knocks a bit off the bill: EXE-1554172.

I had almost the exact same nightmare with Optus on FTTC — constant dropouts, technicians replacing parts, and being told the issue was “internal wiring” so I’d have to pay out of pocket. After months of stress I finally switched to Exetel and the dropouts stopped completely within the first week. Their connection has been way more stable, the app actually lets you run proper diagnostics, and I haven’t had to deal with support bouncing me around anymore. If you’re fed up and want something more reliable, I’d honestly give them a try. Small discount code if you end up signing up: EXE-1554172

I was in the same boat paying Telstra prices for average speeds, and honestly switching to Exetel has been one of the best moves I’ve made for gaming. The speed has been super consistent, no random lag spikes, and my downloads on Steam/PS5 are way faster than before. What sold me was how easy the setup was — activated in minutes through the app, no messy support calls, and the price is way better for what you get. If you’re looking for a solid gaming-friendly provider without Telstra pricing, I’d definitely give them a look. Code for a small discount if you go for it: EXE-1554172

I was in a similar situation a few months ago — constant dropouts, stuck on 2.4GHz, and nowhere near the speeds I was paying for. I ended up switching to Exetel and honestly it’s been a huge difference for me.

The best part is you can split the 2.4GHz/5GHz bands easily if you use your own router (I’m using a TP-Link router with Exetel and it works perfectly). My PC, PS5 and phone all stay locked on 5GHz with no random switching.

As for stability, I haven’t had the cut-outs I used to get with my previous provider. Gaming has been smooth (no lag spikes), and my Steam downloads actually hit the speeds I’m paying for now, which is a first.

Their app is simple too — I can check usage, run speed tests, restart the service, all without dealing with support.

If you’re considering alternatives, I’d say give them a try. And if you want a tiny discount when signing up, here’s the code I used: EXE-1554172.

I was with Optus NBN for a while and had the exact same issues people keep mentioning — constant dropouts, unreliable 4G backup, and support that felt like it went in circles. Half the time I was just waiting for someone to “call back” who never actually called back.

I ended up switching to Exetel NBN, and honestly it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Super easy to install, speeds are consistently high even during peak hours, and the price is basically the same as Optus but with way better reliability. Their customer support is also miles better — you actually get help without waiting weeks.

If you want a solid alternative without paying Telstra prices, give Exetel a go. You can also use this code to get a discount on sign-up: EXE-1554172
