Vincent's internet bill is now $0 a month, and he did it just by sharing a code

Vincent switched to Exetel for price and convenience. Eighteen months and 374 referrals later, his monthly internet bill sits at exactly $0*. His story is a straightforward look at how Exetel's Refer a Friend program works, and why Warp Speed has become the feature his household relies on during peak hours. 

*$1 off referrer & referee monthly bills, if both remain connected. 80 referrals to achieve $0 monthly bill. Terms & Conditions apply. 

Why Vincent chose Exetel 

"The main reason we switched to Exetel was price and convenience," Vincent says. He's on The One Plan, Exetel's nbn broadband plan offering speeds of 500/50 Mbps (500/45 Mbps typical evening speed) for $80 a month, with no promo cliff and no lock-in contract. 

Vincent found out about the Exetel referral program as soon as he signed up. "I first heard about it when I first signed up and thought it was a great idea to save some money on my internet bill. As this bill is recurring every month," he says. That recurring nature is exactly why the discount appealed to him: a $1 saving might look small on its own, but it adds up every single month for as long as both people stay connected. 

From family group chat to 374 referrals 

Vincent didn't set out to build a following. "I first started sharing it in some of my community groups where people asked for ways to save money," he explains. "First, it was my immediate family that don't live in the same house as me, and then it only grew from there." 

That's the pattern behind most Exetel referral code success stories: a genuine recommendation shared with people already looking to cut costs, rather than a hard sell. Vincent's code has now been used 374 times, and each successful signup takes another dollar off* his bill. 

A $0* bill, and one less thing to think about 

"Our monthly internet bill is now $0*, which is one less bill we have to worry about every month," Vincent says. "That's been one of the best parts of the experience. I honestly think it's one of the best ways an internet provider has found to give something meaningful back to its customers." 

Exetel's Refer a Friend terms cap the discount at 100% of the plan cost, so a $0* bill on The One Plan is the maximum saving available. Vincent reached that cap well past the 80 referrals needed, and his experience shows how far a simple friend referral code can stretch when it's shared consistently over time. 

Warp Speed keeps the whole household moving 

Vincent's household also uses Warp Speed, Exetel's on-demand speed boost that takes The One Plan up to 1000/100 Mbps (860/85 Mbps typical evening speed) for an extra $1 a day. "Warp speed just allows us to download bigger files while everyone is streaming content at the same time during peak times," he says. 

That's the everyday case for Warp Speed: it's not about a single dramatic use, it's about keeping downloads, streaming and everything else running smoothly when the whole household is online at once. Vincent switches it on when he needs it and off when he doesn't, paying only for the days it's active. 

Why Vincent recommends Exetel 

Ease of use comes up more than once in Vincent's story. "It's one of the easiest processes signing up with Exetel. I've had zero issues or problems with them and if you use my referral code, we can both save on our plan," he says. 

That combination, a simple sign-up, a plan he trusts, and a referral program that rewards him for spreading the word, is why Vincent keeps sharing his code.

FAQs 

What is Warp Speed and how much does it cost?

Warp Speed is an optional upgrade that takes The One Plan up to 1000/100 Mbps (860/85 Mbps typical evening speed) for an extra $1 a day. You can switch it on or off in the Exetel app whenever you need it. 

Can Warp Speed be turned on and off?

Yes. Warp Speed is charged per day it's active, so you only pay for it when your household needs the extra speed. 

How much can I save through Exetel's refer a friend program?

You get $1 off your monthly bill for every friend who signs up to The One Plan using your referral code, and your friend gets $1 off theirs too. There's no limit on the number of friends you can refer, though the total discount can't exceed 100% of your plan cost. 

Do I need to be on The One Plan to refer a friend?

Yes. The refer a friend offer applies to Exetel's The One Plan, so both you and the friend you refer need to be on that plan for the ongoing discount to apply. 

What happens if my friend leaves Exetel or changes plans?

If a referred friend disconnects or moves off The One Plan, the $1 monthly discount linked to that referral no longer applies. Your other referral discounts stay in place as long as those friends remain connected to The One Plan. 

Where do I find my Exetel referral code?

Once you're signed up to The One Plan, download the Exetel app and look for the Refer a Friend tab. Your unique code will be there, ready to copy and share.
