VDSL2 Modem (alien.top)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Moving house and going with Aussie broadband 1000/50. My question is, is it worth getting the $180 modem from them or spending $180 on another brand modem?

1000/50 is not available on VDSL NBN connections (FTTN, FTTB, FTTC)

So the maximum speed tier you can subscribe to will be 100/40

Honestly, a great modem router for this is the Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 (model number DJA2030 or DJA0231). You can often find them unused on Gumtree or Marketplace for under $50. They are not locked to Telstra (work fine on Aussie Broadband) and come with a built in SIM card that will kick in if NBN is down.

That would be my recommendation.
