I am on the same boat here. Skinny 1gb fibre is getting expensive.

Is 2degrees's CGNAT impacting? I don't really host or game. My main worry is running into port exhaustion issues given that this will be a home connection shared with other family members.

What is everyone's experience with this?

sagnik: My Skinny 300/100 would cost me 80$ from August, compared to that 2degress is gonna be 62$. 18$/month is quite a bit of saving if you ask me.

I can see 2dgree have raised their price on this plan to $87 (4months free), still cheaper than my current Skinny plan $80 over the course of the 12month contract. Did your price change after signing up?

Havent found any better deals at this time.

My price is still unchanged as of yet, still paying 62$/ month.

Thanks for your response, the current deal still works out cheaper over the 12month contract but I dont prefer CGNAT as I host some content from home.

Have you found any issues with CGNAT, Speeds or Support ?

Port forwarding is bad, look at something like Cloudflare so you are not exposing publicly to the internet.

I have a Smart Modem 2 I'm wanting to use on 2degrees, I have the attached settings but it wont connect? Looking at the provided FritzBox I'm supposed to use a username & password but theres nowhere to enter one with automatic ip?
