Best Internet Plan

[Team Mo']

curious, what are you paying for that?
do you have it bundled with anything else?

I think it is about $69.99? Or maybe $79.99? And no I'm with Telstra for a phone line...

This could really be a bad deal but it doesn't really worry me as I just wanted to get rid of the shit I currently had!

Would the decrease of 2MB/second affect us greatly to the point where going with the better download limit wouldn't be such a good idea OR would it not impact us much at all.

If it helps- we YouTube, Facebook, chat, use web forums and play a few online games (Perfect World, though I'll get back into World of Warcraft and/or Star Trek Online soon enough). With the bigger plan we would download the occasional movie or various other sizeable file.

What ever speed you get on telstra you will get with the other providers(sync speed that is, download speed will be slightly different from ISP/ISP depending on where you are etc) as you will be using the same line.

Every ISP uses the line which is owned by telstra, different isp's (iinet for example) will have there own hardware in a lot of the exchanges.

If you were to get the lower speed I don't think it would make too much difference.

Use adsl2exchanges.com.au to see what speed you should be getting.

Optus have new plans coming out, from the 25th of April, to start 1st of May.

$50 (bundled with homephone, or $10 extra standalone) gets you 70/50 (120gb). $60 is 75/75 (150gb).

So if you are with Optus and want a good deal for once, or are looking to change but want a big name provider, wait for this.

just checked my optus account, i do many torrents/15 hrs gaming per month/HDTV streaming to tv but even to me this is colossal.

120 gb and i don't know what to do with it. i NEVER thought it would come to this.

Erm, Jabsco...you realise it's free to upgrade at any time?

I think it will be a few months before I can't download that each month .
