i actually noticed a speed increase before the price drop, you may have noticed speedtest's in here the other week

[bezender]

wow that's pretty damned good (fyi the node plan u posted is 1.5mb and the cost moar than the dsl2 plans on average).

I'm happy with the business plan I'm on...... if ur a true data whore go aapt. They do 100% unlimited no shaping dsl2 for just over $100.

[Madaz]

yeah its been a long time coming and remember Telstra still charge for uploads but i don't data share so doesn't effect me

[Madaz]

WOW more computer news :P

Need For Speed World is FREE that's right a free game from EA they prolly feel guilty for all the battlefield games that get buggy after so many 1gb patch's

Just changed our Telstra plan from 25gig to 50 gig and saved $20

As of today my plan change takes full effect. Was downloading in uTorrent this morning and was pleased to see that my two active torrents were downloading at 2.5 MB/s. Very pleased Found I had to reboot my cable modem a few times to settle my connection.
