Re: Broadband Speeds in Ormeau Exchange
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.

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.

Isn't the 24 a theotical maximum which reduces according to other factors (distance from exchange, etc)?
No fun if you have bought into the plan expecting to get those kinds of speeds I guess ... I bet the advertising doesn't state this too clearly either ... 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. Mark |

Don't hold your breath. We have the Amnet ADSL2+ 24 Mb service in Shenton Park and only get 5700 Mb dl (which is within the Amnet "acceptable" service).

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).

Prices are dropping all the time ... I paid through the nose for my old 512/128 connection (in the UK) a few years ago ... I probably still am with BigPond but I was impressed by their hardware and set-up kit.

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 ... :eek: 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 ... :cool: :D |
