Exetel Account Type

[squeakytown]

Hi,

Can you please advise what type of account (Residential or Business) our Exetel account has been categorised as?
Account id : 237998

I am unable to locate any indication on the Members Facility pages to determine the type.
This was our original ADSL2 Account which still has our non-NBN services.

Thanks
Dave

Thanks for reaching out. The customer ID provided here seems to only be linked to your Website and Domain Hosting services with Exetel.

Yes - thats correct.

Are you saying there is no account type assigned to that customer ie only those with a NBN service number have a 'Residential or Business' setting?

When converting from ADSL2 to the NBN, we were told to put a new request in via the Exetel website, which we did as a standard Residential request for NBN.
Apparently at some point Exetel changed the new NBN account to a 'Business' type - we were not aware as the cost at the time was the same for the 12mb/1mb 100gb Plan and the Exetel account does not indicate a type anywhere on the pages or invoices. This is why I was checking on our original account to see if it has restrictions also.

For the given customer ID 237998 you have only Residental Website and Domain Hosting services with Exetel

There should be a different customer ID for the NBN services you signed up with exetel. We will inform our sales team to check on this and get back to you.

Hi Dave,

The ADSL service under customer ID 237998 has been migrated over to the Fibre customer ID 338240 and reflects as a business grade service.

The only services attached to 237998 are the Website and Domain Hosting services with Exetel which is categorized as a Residential Grade.

let me know if any further assistance or clarification can be provided.

Thank you - this makes sense for our current predicament.

We didn't know why the NBN account was made a business grade - the request was made as an online residential account the same as the adsl and website service had been.
Is there a reason that no where on our MyExetel pages or invoices indicate we are on a 'Business Grade'?

Also after several attempts at having our accounts merged so we only had one Exetel bill they were never joined - although we were told it was done.
I'm assuming Exetel couldn't as they didn't match?

We are on the bottom Exetel plan of 12/1 100gb and recently attempted to increase our usage limit online to 500gb, only to find out we couldn't - the page told us to ring business support.
Exetel advised us that business's are not offered that or any plan near it. We would have to jump from $40 per month to $70 a month a 42% increase.
(All because we are on a grade we didnt request).

If you apply under a business name they you are considered a SMB business account, and have access to only those plans.

Corporate accounts are something else.
