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

IMO

internode run the best service, $59.95 for 12gb 512/128

I have never had any internode caused downtime in about 7 months

hey damo which server?

Andy

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!!!

Canni. ·

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

Sky ·

Oh I also Left Pacific to Join Internode, Pacific wern't good value,

www.internode.on.net 🙂

VolksFolks ·

All for $59.95 per month

We are all down under - VolksFolks....

How about putting Your Location in Tasmania in Your Profile...

Thanks in advance...

I use 56k modem... No costs at all.. on line all the time...
My Son owns the ISP...
SLOW compared to broadband though...
$60 a month sounds a bit expensive to Me..
