BROADBAND, WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING?

[Rovernaut]

Signed up for broadband last week, ADSL1500, with iinet, and I don't know how cI ever lived without it.
30 MB d/ls in just seconds instead of hours on dialup.
When the exchange gets up graded to Dslasm then 12000 speed is possible.
one has to marvel at technology.... I was living in the stone ages

Have a look at http://www.whirlpool.net.au/ for a list of ISP and service plans that are available in your area.

Damn good site... :-)

Well, I've seriously got the sh*&# on tonight. for 4 years we've been running Optus cable. When we joined the deal was really good, but it's since been watered down to the point where over 24 months it was going to cost us $2k for cable and phone line. Enough is enough I said.

So, we rang them up and they tweaked it a bit and we got them to $1800. Still not good enough I said... talked to Telstra, and got a deal at $1300. Good good I say. So, we get the cable in and all is good (they did a much nicer job of the install than optus did).

Anyway, I ring Optus tonight to arrange the disconnection and the first lady says why do you want to disconnect blah blah. Anyway she puts us onto their disconnect group, and lo and behold they'll give us the phone line for $8 a month and unlimited cable for $33 making a total of $1k for the 2 years.

So now I've got to ring Telstra and see if they'll let me out but I don't think there is a chance. Optus have only themselves to blame.

Anyway, the moral of the story is ring up and threaten to disconnect!

They quoted us $1500 install and $150 a month to have it. No broadband here either. Been a couple of months since they ask if we would be interested if the exchange was upgraded though so must be comming soon.
