Internode 1,500/256 20Gb $59.95 waiting for DSL2+ to be available (hopefully but unlikely - rim hardware issues).

1283 / 110 on the Internode speed test. Seems low.

Andrew... I too await adsl2, hopefully there's no issues, I suspect there may be though. :S

1283kilobits is roughly 160kb/s. So pretty spot on for a 1.5mbps connection.

Take the speed testers with a pinch of salt...

I would consider Adam or Internode.

Adam if you simply check email + a little web browsing.

Internode if you want an all round excellent service that is always up with awesome international speeds.

Do remember you get what you pay for... You can't go past internode when it comes to their service and quality. Well worth the few extra $$.

I'm with EFtel. Crap service, for example, when we connected there was some stuffup with my friend getting charged twice, and it took three different people to rectify it, but other than that.. good. The best part - 512/128 ADSL, NO limit, NO shaping. 70 bucks a month If you're a big downloader, they're one of the few companies that don't shape the bandwidth.

inetrnode for sure

[Cubes]

Will be interesting to see what inet do with their plans (being bundled and all) now that helstra has bumped up the ULL price to $30.

EDIT: They have already bumped their price up.

Duc, we're about 2km from the exchange, which is "planned" with internode.

Problem is that Northgate runs off RIMs - we had to wait ages for ADSL to be available at all.

[Nozila]

thats disappointing and frustrating to say the least. the 'planned' exchange wouldnt happen to be gepps cross would it? a few of my mates and i are waiting to be ported over to adsl2+ but are being pending on some issues being recified or sorted by telstra.

[chops]

Hampstead Duc.

I'll probably be gone before it's available anyway, at least where I'm moving to is definitely ADSL capable, just have to wait and see if it ever gets 2+!

[vange]

the prospect exchange is 2 streets away from me lol sorry guys

[doommachine]

Haha.. I live on the same STREET as the prospect exchange

[Madaz]

I'm 4.7km's via road from my exchange.

With regards to obtaining an adsl capable phone line another option is to order an ADSL Essential phone line where they connect up another phone line only if its adsl capable. If not they simply pull out and you get charged nothing.

Hope that makes sense... I've just woken up.

[Maxx]

i am still awake while u just woke up

[Madaz]

yep makes enough sence

wot im worried about is if im just close enough to get ADSL2+ but dont get the extra bandwidth cause i live on the edge of the limit
