There is a difference between 'naked broads' and 'naked broadband' you realise.

Re: Alternatives to telstra
Another vote for iinet here....and I would advise steering well clear of Optus too. We suffered for months and months and months with internet connections which would drop out for hours at a time, often several times a week. Their tech support is absolutely woeful, never will you experience a more frustrating experience! They insisted it must be our line.....which strangely was up 100% of the time once we sacked them and got iiNet as our ISP.

Re: Alternatives to telstra
We are using AAPT, and they seem pretty good, havent had any issues since we signed up with them, not heard a peep out of them.

They had a bad customer service rep back then but the couple of times I needed them I had no problems at all. Only reason I switched was I wanted to dump Telstra completely so when I moved house I went with AAPT who have also proven to be excellent. |

Today I had a row with them and told them to disconnect me ASAP and that if they attempted to take cash from my account unauthorised then that would amount to theft. I am considering Optus at the moment, I have noticed that all plans except the $129 have an excess broadband charge, that would worry me a bit. I dont download stuff I am just mainly on here and FB. God I hate Telstra and I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. |

And they dont charge you to stay out of the phonebook. |

And therein lies the problem. I'm not in an area that can get broadband over the phoneline. So our only option is cable, which is Telstra. So even if I hated them I'd have no choice. But I don't hate them. They're ok. Obviously if I had the option to go to a naked bradband plan with another provider I would take it. But I don't, JTL Edit - we have the $99 plan and step-son is always online downloading porn!! and we don't go over. Can get a bit slow at the end of the month if we are nearing our max but that is all |

It used to be about 4gb, until my daughter started using the net for her music downloads !! I switched from Telstra to aanet and (engin for Voip) combined $70pm covers internet and free landline calls in Australia and UK/USA The cheapest ADSL2+ in Australia used to be $ 5.00 per month, but it appears to have gone up to $5.99 now |

If you just surf the web, you'd get by on 3Gb, if you download music, maybe 10 Gb. If you use bit torrents to download Uk and US movies and tv shows, hmmm:eek: maybe 200Gb would be nice. JTL |
