None of them as both have facist like 3GB monthly caps now

Get ADSL if you can as after your contract period is up you'll have an ADSL modem and you can shop around with other providers while you don't have that choice with a cable modem

Netspace or Internode ADSL is the best

My family has Optus Cable with 4 computers sharing the cable and not once going over the download cap. Sure we primariliy use it for browsing but occasionally we do download huge files.
We got it when it was $75.95 a month after being screwed by ihug.

Now i believe it is much cheaper and believe me, you wil not be disappointed

The Optus Cable download cap doesn't start till August 1

I wouldn't be so sure. My service has slowed to 56K already, and I was used to seeing download speeds of around 330 KB/sec.

Bloody Optus and Telstra.

DO NOT get Telstra.

Its better than dial-up, however if we had the choice again we would've have definetaly gone to another provider.

thanks to the ppl that acctually answered the questions and were idiot about my sig. Why dont you just stfu and go to some other place where u can talk about ur ****.

 

[Jabso]

Has anyone got Primus broadband?

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Oh well im getting Optus internet this friday 3BG plan.

 

[Mattster]

you'll enjoy the speed, but you'll find the 3gb isn't enough.

There are other adsl plans out there which are better. I've got Telstra cable, and i don't download warez and i still manage to push the 3gb limit very closely.

I've got iinet ADSL, it is super fast and reliable, I love it but the only problem is the download cap, I only get 1 gig during peak hours and 2 gig offpeak, I always go over my 1 gig but because offpeak is midnight-7am I never download half, it should be the other way around I think (2 gig peak, 1 gig offpeak).

I'm getting ADSL over here in WA with iinet in about 2 weeks. You have a 3 gb download limit but offpeak downloads between 12am and 7am don't count towards your limit, it seems like the best deal I've seen around for a while. I don't know if it's available interstate though. Once you go over your limit for peak periods, rather than having to pay extra the speed will be limited to 56k modem speeds, but remain at ADSL speeds for off-peak times.

 

[Mr Eagle]

I will have iiNet ADSL as soon as #$^&ing Telstra gets off its arse and puts another port in to my local exchange....

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Surely the 3gb limits imposed by both Telstra and Optus are against all pro-competition laws? I would really be interested to hear the ACCC's view on this.

IMO it'll only be a matter of time before the caps go, especially if a 3rd provider enters the market.

Bloody sucks though, doesn't it?

 

[rfctigerarmy]

3GB is plenty.. i went dl crazy over a week and downloaded just under 1GB so yeah.. and Telstra is crappy..

yeah, that iinet deal sounds v.good...

i'm on the site now, just checking if they have a local (sydney) dial up number...
