same as lowrb, but what u all dont realise is on your optus and bigpond plans, uploads are counted into your quota.. many of you may not use upload in a large amount, but i myself do

Shannyn · 24-07-2010, 10:24 AM

of course they are... and its not just optus or bigpond that do it. download/upload no matter... still considered "data usage" i upload in mass amounts... utorrent is constantly on. lol

Your telephone line is connected to the Bundaberg exchange.
This exchange has been enabled for ADSL service.

In terms of pricing, Bundaberg is classed as Zone 1 (Metro).
Note that while the Bundaberg exchange supports ADSL, this is no guarantee that your physical phone line is up to scratch. A conclusive test can only be done upon registering for a service.

mum just got off the phone to telstra, they said no. but it there other providers that dont use telstra lines?
it seems wait a couple of more months

I recommond Internode. I get 50 gig a month, which costs 169.95 quarterly, IF you chang your phone plan to Internode instead of tesltra. We dont use the phone much and were paying nearly 100 a month. Now, with internode the phone costs 20 a month - not including calling of course. The plan is ADSL2, but as towner has noticed, my phone line wasnt up to "scratch" either, so they gave me the fastest ADSL1. Im getting speeds of about 0.45 meg a second.
Check out internode. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I got on the bigpond site a few nights ago and noticed the plans had changed heaps since I was last on. I've been on Bigpond adsl2+ with a 12gb cap for $39.95/month (with home phone & Mobile) for nearly 2 years, but now I can get it with a 200gb cap for the same price!

They had sent me a heap of emails to advise that I could upgrade, but I never use my bigpond email account. Might have to check it more often now, I could have upgraded ages ago.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to download torrents and shitlol

i upgraded to the bigpond "homeline ultimate" bundle 200gb ADSL2+ Elite for $148 a month... plus get a $10 discount on both my mobile services per month... thats not bad considering the stand alone price for 200gb adsl2+ is $180/month... so basically im getting the home phone for free

Brutis · 29-07-2010, 03:56 PM

Mines $89.90/month for Internet, Home phone and Mobile. $10 for Home phone (not that I even use itlol), $39.95 Mobile (unlimited calls/text) and $39.95 net.

Was an awesome deal when I got it nearly 2 years ago, but now the mobile is dated (n95) so I wouldn't mind upgrading soon.
