Can you get ADSL2 with Telstra ? They are offering some pretty good deals at the moment.
If you cant, they give you 8 mb.

and yes they count uploads

i dont have a house number so cant see if i can get adsl2 or not dammit i can get wireless but the most data is 10gb i use that much in a day

i would personally go for another provider than telstra.. they over charge and under deliver.
try tpg and generally adsl2 is the faster and cheaper option....
if you search providers and check availability thru them al they use is phone number for exchange availability.

he cant get adsl2 from tpg or others, only option is probably Telstra

If you dont have a phone,use next door neighbours phone number or someone close to you, if they can get it, then chances are you can too.

Not on their latest offerings they dont. There are a lot of ISP's losing customers at the moment and they are all going to Telstra.

Chooky if you are going to bundle then Telstra is a consideration (the above $89 for 200Gb is a bundled price). If you can get ADSL2 then I would suggest checking around because depending on your usage other plans may be better for you (check at )

If you do go Bigpond and you have the choice between cable and ADSL and are planning on staying with them for a while (i.e. 24 month contract) then its probably worth going the cable, if you are in melbourne you might be able to get 100Mbit with them. If you are going with Optus cable then definately go the cable route as you should get 100mbit download (cant remember what the upload is but its better than ADSL2), ad their network is DOCIS3 (unlike slack old Bigpond).

ALl i can say is that you should do your research... I looked online and saw which ISPs had a bad review and steered clear of them. In the end I chose internode, but i really, really regret it. They have very poor stability on the line, with the connection coming and going constantly, and I can't reach anywhere near the speeds they advertise. Its about 50% slower than my previous ISP, TPG!

My advice... steer clear of internode!

iiNet currently have a TB plan from $99.00p/m

I would have said the complete opposite. I switched to Internode a couple of years ago and have never looked back.

I'm stuck on ASDL1, but that's a Telstra issue, not Internodes. However I recently upgraded to an ADSL1-Fast connection and it works a treat.

I am in the same boat as you GavinSV and have also moved to fast connection ADSL1. Very happy with Internode.
