Who uses ADSL/Broadband

I am with a very wet telco company who will not offer me a special deal as i am not a new customer, i get nothing for being loyal, i have to disconnect and reconnect to get a so called special deal and with a $150 fee, please let me know your plans.

ie ADSL or Broadband,

256/64 or 512/128,

Download limit, upload limit,

excess MB $0.0 etc etc

what company, i have found this one and looks very resonable

thanks for your input

Andy

sick of being ripped off

I use NETSPACE. 512/128 with 32 gigs per month download and no upload limit. Have been with them for 18 months and have NEVER had downtime or any problems. Cost me $69 per month. If I download from someone in the same state it is not included in the download quota.....I have a lot of trouble downloading any where near my limit. If you go over it reverts to 52k speed. No extra to pay. Top stuff!!!

have also used netspace when we had dial up..excellant service but a bit pricey...

switched to optus cable and had a great time whilst they had unlimited downloads 😀 now they have a limit but once u go over you don't pay any extra just get sloooow internet... so would recommend them over telstra
