When the broadband companies cap you, and they say 64kb/s, its kilobites per second, not bytes.

They have basically capped you to a 56k dialup modem speed, so 6.65kb/s sounds about right when capped.

Optus ADSL2+ 12Gb Peak and 24Gb Off Peak, therefore 36Gb d/l each month.

My "theoretical speed" is 20 000kbps/8000kbps, though my actual line speed is around 5mb/s download and 1mb/s upload. My plan is $60 a month and there's no over usage fee, just a blazing fast 64kps...

The inventor of the internet (some guy in Switzerland) just found out a way to make the internet go up to 40GB/s...s****

the ADSL2+ in my area is pretty stable
getting around 4-5 mbit

cant really comment on the TechSUpport since I havent used it in the 2 years with them but from what I heard its pretty BAD

yeah its better to buy ur modem from a computer shop as its alot cheap that what TPG charge, the only benefit buying from TPG is that all the setting is already set.

Hey Guyz,
Well HiHoSylvia I am only now switched to Broadband.
I was going to get TPG, They are awesome except for the fact you have to have their Home Phone and their prices are a bit out there. If any of ya's want check out www.broadbandguide.com.au it has all broadband plans out so you can pick the best one for you. Anywayz I ended up getting Optus plan:
Downloads: 2GB/4GB
Speed: Get back to ya!
Type: Wirless (ADSL 2+)
Price: $30 off first 3months if registered online, I think free installation and $39 a month.
Don't need to buy there modem.
:) Hope I helped!?!
