Hi all,

I have come to the end of my contract with Telstra for my internet connection.Currently im paying $59.95 a month for ADSL with a 12gig download limit.

I would like to get ADSL2 at the same price or cheaper.

I have seen ADSL2 from other carriers at the same price $59.95 but only have a download limit of 2-4gig.

Is there a internet provider out there that has a high download limit with ADSL2 at a good price??

just signed up again with internode, $55 a month, 10g limit (speed limited to 64kb/s if i go over)

downloads 1500kb/s, upload 256kb/s. plan is called home 1500 power 10

used internode before, never had any issues with connection/speed

no contract, just the sign up fee, which i think is $40 if u transfer from your existing ISP

if u want more download limit, they offer even better deals moneywise

I like the ADSL2+ Medium/25GB*.Seems to suit what im after.What do you think?And $10 cheaper compared to what im paying now,and alot faster.

as an EX TPG customer i would never use them again

lots of down time which they could never explain and always a hassle to contact anyone

learn to speak indian /pakistani if you ever have problems coz thats where your call is routed for service faults etc

im using TPG atm. ADSL 2+ 50 gig. 30gig on peak 20gig off peak. $59.00

it's true there has been times when i couldnt access the net for no apparent reason but those times only lasted 10-20 mins at most. but i couldnt go past the size of the acc + price on offer.

I have been told that they are being bought out cant remember by who though. though i do remember that this company willl allow them to have far less of a chance at having down time. so i have heard!

guys you might want to try Spin/Comcen. ive been with them since...well since i had the net about 8years ago and its been great. they have great plans but only downs side is that they only do signups online and tech support is business hours. if you sign up let me know and use me as a referal coz that way we both get an incentive off our bills (i think its like $20) so yea its pretty ghood. im on adsl 2 now but the speed and everything depends on your distance from the local exhange as well!

ralmao @ comcen /spin i had so much trouble with them with slow speeds or no service at all and got into a huge bun fight with bill and con .

i had to get the tio involved to get released from my contract then started recieving threatning emails from con that was passed onto the tio who sorted him out .there is a real fanboi mentality on whirlpool with crc .degodz and a couple of others that have magicall connections that never play up when dozens of people are complaining of slow speeds .

i would give up the net b4 i ever signed up with them again .

here is some reading up on them make up ya own mind

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By bcozican · Posted

      it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes

      I'm far from an expert, but for sticking bits of metal together occasionally I got a MIG, the biggest one I could get with a 10a plug (because while I have some 15a GPOs around, they are not everywhere).  Also, because I get through SFA, I just buy the small disposable gas bottles at Bunnings, I'm not opening a BOC account to get through 1/10th of a full size bottle each year

      Ignore the BOV / recirc valve question. You have an NA and shouldn't have one. If there magically is one though... It should be removed, though it shouldn't really effect it in the way one will for a turbo motor with it venting to atmosphere while running an afm.
