Broadband Speeds in Ormeau Exchange

Re: Broadband Speeds in Ormeau Exchange
They're one of the ones I'm looking at. What plan are you on? I'm thinking of getting the 8mbps one over a 12 month contract. It works out at $109 a month and thats for up to 48gb of usage I think.

On a 512 plan with 6 gigs I think.
Costs me about $34 a month.
I find that speed is OK for what I do.

There is a question mark on the efficacy of the Netgear DG834g I am using, as it will only sync in multimode, not ADSL2+ mode. I haven't got around moaning to Amnet so the speed is straight out of the box.

I have iinet 24Mb and get 17-19Mb and I am about 1km from Kalamunda exchange. Cable quality and number of cable junctions/joints are a factor too. I think I am probably the only person in my street to have ADSL2+ though. I have never picked up another wireless network and when I speak to my neighbours about ADSL2+ I get blank looks.

Yep I think you have to live in the exchange to get that speed

FWIW the price I pay for the Amnet 24/1mb Service is the same as I used to pay for the Westnet 512/128 which used to give me about 340/101 (on a good day).

What finally did it for me with Westnet was when they started charging 4.50 a month for the static IP which used to be free - it's like they want to lose customers for a bet or something

Re: Broadband Speeds in Ormeau Exchange
I'm in Ormeau as Penny said, and have given up with the thought of ASDL (let alone ADSL2) ever!
Before move I had a 8mb line, 40Gb for $99 with Internode and was very happy.
Been with dial up for six weeks and .......
I'll refrain!
Anyway, ONLY option for Broadband for me is this Wireless setup so had my little ariel installed today and so far so good!
VERY expensive @ $100 for a 512k connection with a measly 10Gb per month ...
Maximum available is a 1meg line and I think 30Gb for $300pm ...lol, so we'll be happy with our 1/2 a meg line for now thank you.
I've spent all night networking PC's as my wireless router is the old one for DSL, but finally got it all sorted ...
Currently downloading form UkNova at a whooping 55 - 60kb/s ...
