Thread: Optus bundle Vs Telstra

Hi Phillip ;

why not go with iiNet's NAKED DSL and get the ULL line ( phone line ) included , if you're exchange offers ADSL2+ connection thru iiNET?

iiNet - ADSL - Broadband - ADSL2 - Naked DSL Plans


Just a suggestion...

Be careful of the fine print on some Optus plans - 15 cents per MB and it runs to 2GB before limiting to 64kbps.

That means you get hit another $300 for those 2 GB.

Thanks mate.
I had a look and no ADSL2 in my area. so I presume that they buy space from Telstra or Optus which both have ADSL2 in the exchange.
They have 4gig plus 8 gig off peak plus phone for $80 plus calls so dearer than Optus, but 8 extra gigs. AFAIK, I have never used my 3gigs on Telstra as I do not download movies etc.
Thanks again for the heads up.
Regard sPhilip A

hey

I tried optus and gave the phone back a week later.

Constant drop outs and no service.

went to Vodafone for mobile and internode which by the way are brilliant.
Never yet been bumped off.

Best of luck , the big companies do not reward loyalty.
So I always tend to shop around.

Best of luck.

Me, too. I'm back with Telstra. (I've debranded the Optus-branded 3G Nokia N70 phone, though. Unfortunately, it's not a Next-G phone.)

If your on 1500/256 it's not ADSL 2+ your likely to be on a rim or something like that which will limit you to telstra/resold telstra ports which is what iiNet will sell if they can't put you onto their equipment.

I would look at iiNet BB1 Home 3 + Phone 1 + iitalk pack
99.85 per month free local and national calls mobiles 29c/min no flag fall
You'll still have a primary line service the iiTalk is treated as a seperate line so that covers your current 2 lines as well

down side is you would most likley need a new ADSL router to handle VOIP ~$200

Just looking at all the bull**** involved with options above. Why cant they just give us land line, mobile and internet for xx $ and forget the small print crap, and I would love to talk to an aussie when I have a problem

Well I work for iiNet, the company has 4 call centers in Perth(Head office too), Sydney and 2 overseas in Capetown and Auckland to give 2 call centres open at anytime in a 24 hour period.

you could have a look at Broadband Choice and maybe read through the forums there a good source of info for broadband in Aus
