Why does exetel choose to punish existing customers?

[lonix]

Price for NBN 50 plan is $59.99 for new customers, and $69.99 for existing customers.

In my opinion this is a terrible marketing move, you might win new customers, but you will lose existing customers.

I'm considering leaving for this discrimination!

I've been a loyal customer for nearly 10 years, ill be sad to go, but its what has to be done, sorry!

I also would like to know the answer.

Reply on the forum where the question was asked.

AND, where do existing customers see the NBN plans available to them?

The way I see it......as do several of my friends that are also with Exetel ……

The loyal customers, many with 5+years are going to keep paying the high rate to subsidise the "new" members.

New members at no cost to Exetel.

Or NBN Co give pricing to Exetel based on new orders, not existing orders?

[Chris T]

I would think all NBN orders are new orders as ADSL connections have nothing to do with NBN Co. Am I missing something?

[James]

If you are an ADSL customer, your price woudl be the same as a new NBN user.

Chiming in late but I went through this bullshit also and have been with Exetel for 10yrs now.
I asked them "how do I cancel my current plan (which was over) and switch to one of the cheaper plans offered?" I got a reply that said they would prefer me to stay on the $109 plan (previously $89 until they raised it). That's all, didn't answer the fcking question so I replied again and got a reply back saying they'd expedite it because I have been a member for so long but then within 10mins of that email I received another saying they couldn't switch me as it isn't offered where I live so suck eggs!
Tired of their bull with regards to reps not speaking or understanding English, lack of transparency (outage in Qld, not where specifically) and that someone is onsite...on a Sunday night!? Give me a fcking break there is and if there is they're slower than it takes to get power back on after a cyclone!!!!

Currently looking for another nbn provider if anyone can tell who they've been with and liked? Exetel can go EADC.
