We only have dialup...I'd love broadband (coming from fibre optic at uni to dialup here is kinda painful), but, alas, they don't cover this area.

512/128 ADSL.. would like to upgrade to 1500/256... that would do just fine, since I'm sharing between 4~5 computers.

i'm on the exetel $35/month plan (256/64) 6gig/month, free downloads at night

there are also shaped plan for around $29 where you get 200meg downloads then it goes to dial up speeds

you must rememer that you save on the local calls you pay to dial in.

Bigpond Cable, Unlimited Plan.

Besides people paying Telstra out (including myself), can't really complain, been on it for over a year, excellent service and quality.

I wanna get TPG's 1500/64 value unlimited plan when I move soon.
Has anyone got it and do they stick true to their word about pricing?
I'm already on TPGs 256/64 so I know at least their speed and reliability is good.

Yeah, I haven't been with them that long though heh. For $60 a month, I'd say I've got a pretty good deal. We've got Phones/Foxtel/Net with Telstra, so each bill gets 10% off.
