[Ennaybur]

for a student house of 3. We will only need it for like 6-9 months so no contract would be ace. and cheap preferably

 

[AsyLum]

ADSL something

 

[Ennaybur]

optus was fine last year, but then we had to pay over 3 months that we weren't using after we'd left the house.

 

[Ennaybur]

sounds okay, thanks

Optus right now are pretty crap value.

TPG for downloads (150gb still going I think?)
Internode for reliability.

ive had it for about 6 or 7 years now (optus cable), i dont do alot of downloading these days so it does the job.

Go to

http://whirlpool.net.au/

and just do a Broadband Search.

Should come up with a few good ones.

Make sure you do some research on them as well, before you decide to go with that company.

The new plans however suck major balls, and they count uploads now too!
(on the old plans atleast)
Fusion's worst..if you go over your dl limit they dont cap you anymore, they charge you 15c a mb..so basically if you go over your cap by 2gbs its +$300 to your bill!
Optus FTMFL.

 

[Ennaybur]

what's a reasonable speed as well?

this would be for occasional download of songs and youtubes and whatnot

 

[chicky_pie]

TPG!!!


150gb per month!! for only $70

you pay for that on bigpond for only 12gb LOL

 

[Ennaybur]

internode looks good.

TPG gets a lot of shit from the forums on whirlpool. is it justified?

it's fair bit cheaper, and monthly contract right?

I don't mind getting bundled either, but if it's that much more expensive then we can do without a home phone

 

[Ennaybur]

oh, and what's the diff between 'naked' and ...not naked adsl?

 

[youBROKEmyLIFE]

yea if i were u i'd go with internode. Tpg kinda fucked us around with our contract cancellation (we eventually got the money back) but I'm sure that's not the norm, it was the cheapest and we never had any huge troubles even out where I live, so they're probably worth looking at too.

The former gets installed by a stripper.

Medium 1500/20GB + VoIP* 10 GB 10 GB Shaped Free Static $49.99 /mo

looks okay.

I don't know what VoIP is though

[withoutaface]

VoIP is basically a phone line which runs using the internet and gives you cheaper calls and shit.

I heard its like 10cents for as long as you want. And thats really cheap.

I don't use it myself, but a few family members and friends use it.
