Boourns, $10 extra for me

http://www.internode.on.net/adsl/planchanges/

[Cubes]

No change for me on the Home Extreme Value (Adsl2+ 20gb dload) $59.95

[chops]

$10 extra for me on the 20 gig 8M plan.

[Rolls]

Well I'm moving to Adam internet now $20 a month cheaper and I've got a lot of mates with them who've only got good things to say. So long Internode.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

im with telstra cable... meh 2 u all.

[Rolls]

Cable has horrid plans, why would you stay with them? $100 for 25gig @ 17mb

Adam are offering 24mb 40gig for $70

[Cubes]

Agreed, Cable's plans are horrid and upload SUCKS! I like my near 100kb/s upload speed.

If my plan was to rise by more than $5 Adam Internet was my next choice.

Still might yet as I have a couple of mates on the same exchange 'communitynet ftw'.

[Madaz]

telstra cable is fine if you dont pirate and use there services wisely

for myself and old man running 1 pc we use about 3gb / month

i think we pay $59 or $69 for 10gb @19mbit download

[Bl4cK32]

Their 10 gig plan is for a total limit being uploads and downloads. Pretty damn harsh asking for people to pay $59 a month for a 5 gig download limit

Compared to internodes $59 for 20gig download (only) and near 100kb/s upload speed it really is a ripoff.

[Cubes]

Definitely.. Counting uploads is just arse.

All depends on what you use it for Madaz.. 10gb's shared upload and download definitely isn't much for those with relly's overseas.

In the past I've found I've required the ~15gb for streaming lectures from Uni not to mention remote logins via Xwin32 when programming or working in sql/webservers etc etc.

All becomes fairly bandwidth hungry.

For general usage.. My oldies without 'pirating' scrape in at 8gb per month.

Now they are forced to pay a little more

They receive and send a hell of a lot of emails with video's attached, msn webcam overseas etc.

For them 10gb with shared upload and download as telstra uses is simply not suitable.

[Rolls]

The point was you can get the more for cheaper elsewhere, Adam for example do 5gig at 24mb for $39 a month.

[heslo]

Damn these new plans suck, went from $140 odd a month to $170, NOT happy at all

[Madaz]

not on a paired gain you cant, cable was my saviour to the slow 28k internet i suffered before

[Matty 31]

i got telstra cable.....60 bux a month unlimited downloads, speed seems fine. dad and i use at least 10 gig per month between us, plus we split costs anyway. never really had any issues with them either. tech support people are good too

[Cubes]

Serity1,

Telstra used to call it unlimited, there was quite a stink about it as it wasn't really unlimited so the term unlimited has been dropped.

The plan you are on is capped over 12gb. Speeds drop to 6.4kb/s.

The bugger is as mentioned earlier in the thread they count uploads towards this 12gb of data block.

But for the majority of users this isn't a problem.

Their upstream bandwidth is ~128kb's for the plan you are on.

Until you try the adsl2 upstream speeds you really don't know what your missing. The faster upstream makes everything work just that little bit quicker. Especially when downloading and doing multiple things at once.

[Whiplash]

yeah i love the ADSL2, there is no way in hell i'm ever going back to anything with slower uploads and down loads. For work i can use over 20Gb a month downloading all the software, 3dmax, latest photoshop, illustrator ect (company account FTW )as well as uploading and downloading all the files ect and VOIP for 4-6 hours a night really starts to add up.

[Rolls]

The best part about adsl2 is you have so much upload bandwidth you can prioritise packets so that you can be downloading torrents and get only ~10-20 increase in ping for games.

[Whiplash]

still haven't got into any torrent programs. i tried one and it wouldn't work so i gave up.

and i don't get time to play games every now and again i will have a race of GTR2 or RF but thats about all these days.

still waiting for this elusive SAU LAN that has been bought up a few times but never got passed talking about peoples houses and what they can fit in

[heslo]

Hmmm.... Nick I've been keen on this idea for a long time, dunno who would come and what would be played though but I guess I'd have no worries hosting it at my place Might start an interest thread now...
