    Shouldn't that be data transfer rather than download?

    You're correct. However since I don't use BitTorrent/Other P2P applications my usage is very asymmetrical.

    In any case, I'm not too concerned. Most I use in a month is around 10GB. Might downgrade to the 12GB plan.

    Been with them since day 1, At first it was great, Since last year they have gone down, To be honest they are now totally **** house.
    I wouldn't recommend them to anyone..
    Spent 4 hours on the phone to them once, Had my speed limited and they couldn't work out why, Had a call come up as 9 hours!, Lucky it was free but lol 9 hours for one call, Can't stay on the line for 2min at times. 2 new modems. And all they do is expand there profit and offer more deals, Whilst we sit on the most unrelible network in Australia they do nothing to fix it. So yes i think it's very bad. Were you with Virgin?.


    Where i am i can't get ADSL or Cable, So I'm limited to wireless, Or pay over $2000 for telstra to lay me some cable.

    virgin broadband are crap......my folks are on it, they are slow, and i constantly have to keep turning on/off the modem as i may only be able to look at web pages for a couple of minutes (if that sometimes) as it keeps f***ing up & constantly says the page cannot be displayed.

    i would not reccomend them to anyone, as far as im concerned they can go get ****ed

    Why do so many people think they have "unlimited" downloads. There are SPEED limits and there are also limits to how much you can physically download in a month.

    Unless people actually mean "unmetered" - but that's totally different to "unlimited" so I can't see how it's confusing.

    i guess if you take that approach to common linguistics then the word 'unlimited' wouldn't exist.

    I also guess that linguistically you don't physically download stuff either...

    mmmm English.

    I'm pissed off at the moment. I've been waiting for ADSL2+ rollout on my exchange for a long long time, even signed up to a few websites that were going to contact me when they had been enabled.

    Long story short, I do a search the other day and notice that it's available using Telstra's equipment.

    So, internode pricing - 90 dollars a month, ADSL2+ 25gb, yet if it was their DSLAM it's 50 a month. Just can't win.
