Hi,

need your advice regarding broadband internet and how to set it up. Can I ask which provider you are with and do I really need to get connected with a home phone as I really dont need or want one ?

If I have to have a phone line, do you recommend Telstra or Optus ?

Cheers,
Ian.

I wouldnt recommend either I would however recommend with Virgin or AAPT!! We are with AAPT, and have had no problems at all, a decent speed for a decent price!!

That's what I found, if you put something in & half of them didnt know about it they turn on you, I've found them very, very, very bitchy too.

Adelaidebrits goes through phases. There has been quite a lot of bitchiness recently as there have been quite a few not so nice folk on there. However, these types come and go and the core of people who've been around for ages are very friendly.

Wow! You're organised! have you been here before then and checked it all out?

On the broadband front.. We're with internode. OH works from home and has to communicate with officein the UK online so we need something really reliable and fast. It's been pretty darn fabulous!

And we're with Telstra for the phone

don't forget to get yourself a phone that does both Aussie landline and Skype! I can't imagine how much money we've saved over the past year paying nothing to call the uk! We've even got ourselves a Skype in number. It's a UK 0121 number (birmingham) so our firends and rellies can call that and only get charge the rate they would in the UK to call Brum. It gets sent down through the ninny net and connects to us in Oz. Allowing them to call us (time difference allowing) for no extra cost than it did when we were back in the UK! ACE!

We went over in May/June to check the area out. We drove round many suburbs, visited schools and OH went to job agencies as well.

Thanks for the info about the phone.
