Tpg seem to have some good deals at present.Originally Posted by believer
Check the Whirlpool forums.
i have recently gone to koala with my kids account due to them constantly blowing their bandwidth
i am on their 100gig 1500/256 plan as icant get adsl2 here in hobart and considering the bad rap they have on whirlpool i have had no problems at all apart from a few drop outs and the occasional modem reboot
my internode business account is constant 800/800 using their $1000.00 cisco router and thats constant but not cheap
grant
Exetel do have a limit now, albeit a generous one, for this time period.
That being said, I'm with Exetel also & agree that all up you can't do much better.
I am a very satisfied customer!
Hi,
I'm on the $40 per month ADSL2 with Exetel, 8 Gig peak and 48 gig off-peek
12.00am to 12.00pm.
Do most of my downloads in the off-peak period.
Cheers

$3/Gb excess is pretty darn savage.
If Telstra were forced to sell ADSL2 wholesale to other ISP's there would probably be some good plans.
My exchange is now ADSL2 enabled with Telstra only , 600 meg for $70 or some shit
ADSL2 is now available in a lot of exchanges where it previously wasnt available but its Telstra only due to Labor allowing them to do it and not have to wholesale to others. Their prices are half price for a year if you go on contract for 2 years and have your home phone and mobile phone with them as well. So if I want ADSL2 , I basically have to sell my soul to get a decent price out of them.
Wheres the ACCC at the moment ??
$3/Gb excess is pretty darn savage.yeah that's real savage compared to Telstra's $150 per gig excess???
That's why I ..... smiled
TPG is one of the best good price and good service
if they had adsl2+ on my exchange thats who I'd be using
mmm150gig for $69.99
This was the case under the previous government, but Telstra were trying to get a deal done with the copper lines under the Liberal Government. When the government changed Telstra was worried they would be locked out of the FTTN so decided to play the card that "ADSL2+" is now widely avaliable.
The ACCC has said they arent going to get into the ADSL2+ arguement because every ISP is free to add their own equipment (which is incorrect) and compete with Telstra.
Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries. You gotta tell them exactly what you want or you'll end up with a cupboard full of pop tarts and pancake mix.
I know iinet nacked plan had few problems leaving customers without phone for 75 days or something like that. Nevertherless I went ahead and subscribed to the nacked deal No.3 (10 + 20) Gb quota with shaping. No excess fee though. Plus free DID VOIP number with free local and nation wide calls.
Maximum I had to wait for the service activation was less than 20 days and it was only because I had to physically install a new copper line to my house. I was without a phone for about only two days. I have to say that iinet improved alot in their customer satisfaction area.
So to cut the story short, I have now a brand new copper line, ADSL2+ internet, free VOIP with untimed free calls and all this for $69 per month.
I think I am happy at the moment, lets hope the quality of their internet doesn't drop.
Plus on top of that iinet has a so called free zone which is not included in your monthly download quota. And the best part of it is you can have as part of the freezone service.
Yeah fromaron, I am with iinet as well and have watched a bit of the prem league and its great for free.
Although I am in an adsl1 area only and cant get naked or adsl....I pay $129.95 for up to 8,000k/384k 20GB(p) + 40GB(op)
That's where I'm going they just installed ADSL 2+ in our exchange.TPG is one of the best good price and good service
if they had adsl2+ on my exchange thats who I'd be using
mmm
Optus is giving me 21GB (7GB+14GB) for $69.95 ADSL 1
TPG is Offering 150GB (40GB+110GB) for $69.95 ADSL 2
I wonder where Im going ??? Not the company run by animals as they show in their ads!
Oh yeah, I live a hop skip and a jump from my exchange... 24Mb/s here I come!!
We are trying out VirginBroadband wireless for a 30 day free trial all phone calls for each month to all land lines and virgin mobiles for $30. No line charge.
Broadband 2 Gig $30 per month, 4 gig an extra $10. Thats all they have for internet so far, so all up it will cost us $70 each month for what we use. Had to put in a external antenna cost was $139 but it works fine.
iinet $69 for 21Gig at 8000/512k (no ADSL2 in my exchange)
Although there email server is crap, faster to stamp an envelope and mail it
^^^^ Thats crazy!!!! wish i could get that
The 110GB off peak is from 3am to 9am. Only 6 hours. This is something to consider.
I wish they had naked plans with the same quota
I am currently with Optus, getting 21 gig (7 gig peak and 14 gig offpeak)per month for $49 adsl1 1500. I rang them and asked if adsl2 was available and they told me no, looked at telstras web site punched in my phone number and it tells me that i can get adsl2. Looking to change internet providers soon anyway.
