    I dont work for a company that has anything to do with IT or computer based things. I am just on a computer everyday and im far from computer illiterate. Why would i wonder what it stands for? I wouldnt ask for a mobile broadband setup because im not going to be mobile, its a desktop.

    facepalm :doh:

    if you want completely wireless internet, then mobile broadband is EXACTLY what you want. mobile broadband does not mean it's on a mobile device. would have taken you all of 2 seconds in google to avoid digging this hole you've got yourself into.

    all contracts have a "cooling off" period, usually 30 days.
    if you want NO cords, get yourself a USB ADSL modem, runs off telstra's 3G network. *facepalm*

    Good grief :doh: enough already ... a USB ADSL modem that runs off telstra's 3G network??? :hmmm:
    I think you have got your wireless crossed :) Either it's a USB mobile broadband modem or it's an USB ADSL modem :banstick:

    I'm a little curious about this, because your cable connection obviously isn't wireless - so why not just use the TPG ADSL2, which will be nearly as fast/reliable but much cheaper?

    Telstra have a shocking customer service records, and have been known to pull some very dodgy stunts to get money out of people - personally I wouldn't go near them with a 30ft pole in most instances. They have some of the best infrastructure in the country, but their business ethic is lacking, and their products are uncompetitive.

    Utter rubbish. Mate you need to do some real research. There are far better deals with far better service if you shop around.

    You said yourself that you knkow nearly nothing about ADSL, what makes you so sure that those two are good providers? As others have said, they really have not a lot going for them. TPG are the best value for money reliability and customer service are not so great though. Also, iiNet are generally considered a good option.

    Telstra survives ONLY because of the misconception that you have put forward. People know the name and assume that it is the best option. I have known countless people who have been paying double or more with telstra than they could get the same service for from a different provider, and every single time the answer when I ask why is, "Oh, they're Telstra, they must be pretty good, they're a big company."

    If you aren't obligated to pay your way out of whatever connection you have now, you may want to investigate the alternatives. Just make sure you do your research before you agree to any contracts. Don't take a salesman's word ;)

    TPG's customer service is like talking to a brick wall.. atleast with Telstra customer service you actually get people you can understand.. not being racist but its true.
