Broadband with AAPT

Thanks

Re: Broadband with AAPT
I looked into them too, but they require you to pay $49 dollars every month for phone and $39 dollars for broadband thats the only catch from what i can see - you have to buy the whole package.

Currently I pay to Telstra
$30 dial up
$30 line rental
$30 phone calls (roughly as they are all dial up calls)
$90 Total
with AAPT
$97.95 would give me broadband 12 GB (it slows once you over this), line rental and $50 dollars worth of calls a month (although we don't use the phone other than for dial up)
the main thing with AAPT is the no contract, we still don't know if we are going to stay in Australia although this is likely.
What do you reckon on the above deal for $7 more a month than I already pay?
Thanks

Re: Broadband with AAPT
i get my broadband through teegee (www.teegee.com.au) and they are no contract too. never had a problem, have even moved home and they connected me up again quickly. $39.95/month for 25GB downloads, and then $18.50/mth for phone line from tel$tra, that's only $58.49/month

did you get the $18.50 mth from Telstra or from teegee, they always quote me more than this??
I just checked Teegee out and 512 Turbo 25GB data is now $44.95 month plus $108 New ADSL activation fee (and no modem as far as I can see)
I stopped looking for broadband 4 months because it gets so confusing!
Thanks for your help
Tara

Re: Broadband with AAPT
The $18.50/month line rental is the cheapest Telstra do, and does not give you any cheaper rates on your calls. If you make more than just a bare minimum of calls, this is not the rental plan for you.
Just in case you are thinking of using an overide service such as Gotalk (where you enter an over-ride code then the number you want to dial), this is not allowed in the terms and conditions of the $18.50 line rental.
Where it is worth using this rental plan is if you use your broadband for VOIP

Re: Broadband with AAPT
My parents are currently with AAPT. They switched to them prior to our arrival because they thought they'd get better bandwidth, but that turned out not to be the case. No complaints performance-wise or support-wise, but if you're anything like me then unmetered with a highly rated ISP like Exetel is the way to go.

Hello Tara. Hope you are well.
I use AAPT's broadband offering and their Homechat $79 call cap ... no complaints ... hope that's not tempting fate ... :-)
Best regards.

Re: Broadband with AAPT
but if you use the calling cards then you can still use to make uk calls (as i do).
