Re: ISP, Contracts, Bigpoo etc etc
Dear Paul,
Thank you for your online order for an Internode Broadband service.
You have ordered:
Plan Name: HOME-1500-Pro
On line: xxx
Order Ref: xxx
Down to you Hutch if it's no good! ...
Naaah, seems to be no2 in the Whirlpool list of 'who uses what ISP' so that too is good enough for me!
Hope to be over within a week so with my Bigpoo monthly start date only just gone, I for once can now leave my p2p on all the time as i'm NOT gonna hit the limit in a week! ...

The good thing about the P2P side is that they don't include your upstream, so you can get a healthy quota on UKnova without worrying about its impact on your quota. Oh yea - and download this great little gizmo - it tracks your usage and sticks the amount you've used in your system tray on the taskbar.
Cheers for the gizmo ... One thing bigpoo did have was a part of their site you could check your usage on.

It can handle DivX and Xvid equally well. It has various inputs on the back so I run my hi-def Sony set-top box through it too (no satellite or cable here yet). You could, for instance, take the output from your IQ box to the LG, record shows on that and then save 'em out to DVD for further 'ahem' distribution.

I have iinet ADSL2+ 24Mb connection with a 40Gb limit then shaped, for $79/month. It's fast, I get an effective 19Mb connection. I download a 30 mnute programme off UKNova in under 15 minutes, an hour programme in under 25 minutes. I'm very happy with it.
