ISP's advice for when we touch down
Hiya
Just a quick post...can some one advise me of which ISP to chose on once we arrive.
I will probably require 24hr uptime, at a fixed cost.
What are your experiences of ISP's in Oz.
We are hoping to go to Perth...if this has any relevance on the subject.
Thanx in advance

We are with dodo.com.au - started off with Optus, but had lines dropping out and diabolical connection speeds. Now paying about $70 for 3 months, unlimited access, unlimited downloads. No problems with connections, and the speed is as good as BTOpenworld was.

I pay 50 a month for 8GBs on a 256/64 ADSL connection.

Bondi,
The dodo.com offer looks as if it's only for the first 3 months. It then goes up to either 70$ limited download or 100$ for unlimited.
Not such a good offer me thinks
unless you can tell them to p**s off after 3 months

. A normal web surfer will use maximum 2 GBs a month.There are plenty of offers where you sign up for 12 or 24 months. My tip is avoid them as prices will come down.
