Hey guys! I'm currently in the process of changing from my ISP to another. So yeah i thought it'd be interesting to see what the members of this site are using just to uncover deals/ISP's for people who are in the same position as me or just for general knowledge. To start off i'm currently with Bigpond ADSL on an 8Mbps/384Kbps Liberty (12GB Cap) for $89.95 per month but will be upgrading to Internode ADSL2+ (24Mbps) Home Extreme Value (20GB Cap) for $59.95. As you can see bigpond are cleary rip off artists hahaha !

H4mmersmit says:

Lol thats the thing like back when i was in grade 7/8 ringing up bigpond for broadband assistance = they repeat everything you tell them and either make things worse or fix the problem and make a new one haha

The only bad thing about having a fast download limit for the month is once you use up all you're downloads the internet goes real slow until the next month starts up because you have gone over the limit

Are you serious!? Man you're getting totally screwed! Go to www.tpg.com.au and check out their broadband deals, like seriously one of their adsl2+ deals has 150GB of Usage before you get capped! I'd be joining up with them if they covered Tasmania !!!!

Lol yeah it's just all about watching what you use. From now on i'm always going to try and download what i need during the month and at the end have a huge download bonanza with the gigs left over

callan5 says:

Lol H4mmersmit man, the problem with me mate is i use it so quickly which results in a very slow internet for atleast 20 days until the end of the month

08/31/2007 perth, WA

H4mmersmit says:

Haha yeah thats exactly what happens to me all the time so thats why i'm trying to turn my downloading ways around.

In my opinion all service providers suck! but you have to go with one right. Firstly do your research for the best deals connection fee etc.. and mention what they are offering cause they won't on the phone and you'll get shafted. I'm with iinet with ADSL2+ VOIP and 21gb downloads 7gb peak and 14gb off-peak at $59.95 for the month there pretty reliable. Funny thing is, it cost more without voip so why wouldn't you want faster internet.
