Plan to move to Quic from Voyager

Hi, Finally thinking of moving, I have contacted Voyager to end my contract, which ends on the 20th March. How do I obtain a seamless change over on that Date? Which plan do I go for? I have existing 300/100 with Voyager at the moment, would the next plan be better for my needs, 900Mbps download, 400Mbps upload, Uncapped data for $105 or $85 per month? Is this the ONT SN:485754439E227947 for my Voyager account.

The untagged only gives that or Vlan 10? I would like it just to switch over the same as I have now with Voyager

And do you have a referral code please? It doesn't give you an option on sign up

Cheers Mike

In the old days you should have NOT terminated with Voyager as they will lock out the ONT port with an in-flight order to cancel

But now there is a thing called port two activation, have quic activate port 2 on the ONT a day before your Voyager is due to cancel

set your order to quic to be VLAN10 tagged, and simply move the cable from port one to port two of the ONT

I haven't cancelled Voyager yet, so your suggestion is to cancel 18h March 2 days to my renewal?

"I have contacted Voyager to end my contract, which ends on the 20th March."

Have you messaged them as this suggested you have already notified them

Oh I was under the impression that you had

If that is the case, just place an order with Quic and set the transfer day one day before your next billing cycle with Voyager, once you have done that call up Voyager to give them notice

Example:

if hypothetically the losing ISPs billing cycle is 21st to 20th of each month then you would set your transfer to the Gaining ISP on the 19th of April, then once the gaining ISP has confirmed, then call up and cancel on X date (most ISPS you need to give 30 days' notice, they can't cut you off early as there is an inflight order on the ONT port already)

Make sure you set your connection on Quic to be VLAN10 so it will work seamlessly

It'll only be seamless if the Voyager connection is also tagged. Voyager supports both.

Assuming you’re in a Chorus area you’ll find it’ll be fully automated provisioning.

Just sign up with Quic with the same VLAN settings as Voyager on the day you want and it’ll just magically move across + you shouldn’t notice anything.

It was still 30 days notice to cancel Voyager when I did that a couple years ago, when the initial 12 month contract was over.

When I cancelled, I told them 35 days in advance. They took a week to get back to me, set the cancellation to 30 days from then and then tried to charge me for the "extra" days. They reversed the charge when I complained (calling it a "goodwill credit" or some such), but it's still something to be aware of.

Can anyone confirm if Quic sends out notifications of planned network work that affects users? I believe I read somewhere that they did.

I was extremely disappointed that Voyager failed to notify me of an outage, only to be told that they don't have the ability to do this... such a basic thing. IMO, Chorus should have notified us anyway as it affected the whole neighbourhood. I have otherwise been happy with Voyager, aside from the constant price rises and the quality of support not being what it used to be.

Yep, I can confirm Quic send out these notifications if your circuit is going to be affected, see below:

Im going to hold off on changing to see if they sort out notifications for outages. No problems with the service technically, but paying a premium over other providers and getting nothing for known outages is a bit crap. Will revisit this at the end of april and see how they're doing.

I'm just starting to plan my move from Voyager to Quic. Can someone confirm the best approach, since there seems to be two different recommendations above? I haven't given my notice to Voyager yet - I want to formulate a plan first.

Also, am I correct in thinking that using DHCP over PPPoE would be recommended?

I gave notice for the 30 days with a date at the end of the month, I signed up with quic and chose the day before that date so only 1 day of duplicate payments.

It was not seamless because I was changing wan configuration. when it conked out I had to go into my unifi control plane and reconfigure the wan and it was back up again. I chose not to get a second port service because my ont is buried behind stuff, but after that they wanted the number from it so I had to move boxes to get to it anyway.
