The OPTUS NEW plan is out!!! (2 Viewers)

[JRasnier]

well u can download one good quality divx movie...

1gb gets me more songs wooo
with my 550mb i always went over the limit in like half a month then it was really slow.. but now it will last me a whole month lol

 

[abdooooo!!!]

why would you need cable for 1gig? i easily download more than that in a month with norm dialup.

 

[sunny]

People want cable for the speed.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

speed for what so you can finish the limit in one week... you got no speed for 3 whole weeks... not even half the speed of dialup with stupid optus

 

[sunny]

Like I said before, not everyone are heavy internet users - there are people out there that use the net merely for email and light browsing.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

like i said before, dialup is proly faster and economically more friendly for that purpose.

 

[sunny]

Some people like their emails to download fast

 

[abdooooo!!!]

i know, its annoying when you have wait half a second more every time you log on.

 

[cro_angel]

yeh.. ur forgetting something
when u dial up.. it means ur phone calls.. which costs 25c per call
i remember when i had dialup id always get disconnected.. and sometimes it would connect but disconnect right away and id have to try again
also during busy times the phone can be engaged and u have to try again
it was probably around $25 in calls per month (averaging out holidays and normal school days/weekends) and then u gotta pay like $30 for the actual internet.. which comes to $55 a month..
now is there really a point in paying $55 for slow unreliable service.. when i can get my lite plan on optus for the same price..
also for big downloads.. using dial up if u get disconnected during it u gotta start again.. this killed me for a 30mb file it took like 6 attempts to get it..

 

[abdooooo!!!]

you're a n00b cro_angel.

all the problems you listed there can be overcomed easily if you are a experienced computer user and know your stuff. i can't be bothered to list them since you are already with optus cable.

 

[cro_angel]

how can u solve optus being engaged when i need to get online..
i downloaded something to be able to resume downloads when i got online again.. but it didnt work :|

and excuse me for not being a computer nerd.. this board isnt exclusive

im sorry for being a computer nerd... but this is an IT board isn't it?

hey thats why you get 2 phone lines... it costs $25 with the free calls and stuff... then you share the dialup with a friend for free. if you log on heaps of times it'll be just 5 bucks extra max everymonth. and there are heaps of resume programs, all works fine for me.

but some people like you proly couldn't be bothered to save the 20 bucks everymonth... but what i don't get is why not just pay the extra 15 bucks and live free of download limits. unless you like me who goes over 12 gig with ease... ahahaha

edit: i just realised something this board is for the 1337 only... it says under name. so it is exclusive

 

[cro_angel]

share with a friend? doesnt that mean u cant be online at the same time?
what do u download to get to 12gig.. i only download songs sometimes and browse the web..
damn l337-ness

 

[abdooooo!!!]

nah. with dialup you can have as many users online at one time as you like for most service providers anyway. but when the time spend online is more than the time that exists in 1 month... then they warn you. if it still happens they cancel the account. thats what happened to my friend's account cause i used it too much... but he just registered again under a different name.

i download musics... movies... games... and something else.

dialup... use a 2nd fone line... and get a ISP who offers a no session limit plan. ^_^
