    Im with internode.
    1500/256 with 50GB Down/Up
    Only 49.95 a month. Best around for my area. Bigpond wanted 59$ for 512 and 5GB. What a Joke.
    And You can easily monitor all your downloads with a live meter.

    Its a given i'll post just after clair lol


    Ditch telstra as soon as you can. If you can't be ****ed sifting through all the crap on whirlpool (i know i cant sometimes) the big 3 (not counting the crap 2) are AAPT, Primus, and Adam (and if were talking high usage, add TPG in, but **** service/support)

    AAPT just made an unlimited plan (no caps, and no limits) but not sure how long it will be around for, or if other companies will jump on that idea.
    I'm with iPrimus, and the speeds are better/more reliable than when my parents had telstra cable. So much so, they cancelled their cable, and now use my internet lol

    your going slow because you're capped, check your plan. You'll either be on 56kps when you cap or pay shat load of money for extra mb. Did you check you upload usage?

    holly sh*t, we are getting ripped in NZ ... I pay $50 per month for a 10GB cap on ADSL2+ (I get around 14Mbps download and upload around 800kbps).

    You know TPG just introduced an unlimited plan for $75 (thats, never be capped, download whatever you want with +2)

    I would have gone that for the extra $25.....

    Lucky for you, i think you can change plans at any time (you can with AAPT, the other company with unlimited, and iPrimus) at no cost (and like they'd care, they'd be getting an extra $25 a month from you)

    Wait for your connection to go through, then ask to be changed

    Let me rephrase that. Unlimited internet downloads/uploads with NOOOOOOO speed caps after you go over a certain amount of data.
    True unlimited. Currently only 2 companys offer this, Optus is not one of them (and i doubt they ever will)

    Yeah unlimited home line, I tested it lol, spoke to the BF for 4 hours on his mobile and nup, not a cent over $129, I think its called the Fusion Plus package? But yeah I was getting phone bills around $400 a month coz of the rellies in Vic and my BF working away, not anymore :D

    Your in for a huge shock if you ever get to that limit (when i was with them it was 40g, BUT, they never mentioned that, it was just in the very fine print of the brochure they gave me)
