Internet Service Provider - which one do you use?

I'm with Adam - we've got a naked connection, 20 gig a month (I think), only costs us about $20 but that's because my partner works for Adam, not sure how much it'd be normally. Haven't had any problems with the connection to date. It pisses all over Telstra Bigpond.

3 wireless USB modem.

$39 a month for 6 Gig- first 6 months were half price.

No problems yet, and we are 10 months in...

That appears to only offer the companies prepared to pay to be in it.
Only a few major corporate ISPs appear, and they seem to be all a lot dearer in total bundle price than my Internode bundle.

Netspace.

$59.95 for 30GB split between peak and off peak usage. I do like the peak/off peak system as I pretty much go through the off peak quota in the first week or so but can still use it during the day at normal speeds.

I use Bigpond Wireless, costs a fortune (not even game to post how much I pay on here!) but Telstra 3G is the only wireless service in our area. I refuse to get a landline just for internet, and figure the savings from line rental cover the extra cost of the wireless service. Had some teething issues but now it's working really well, very happy with it.

Did your modem work Ok wirelessly straight out of the box?

[devilsadvocate]

OK, please do.

Still waiting to get a chance to do thie Dedja.

[Westsider]

Nothing works straight out of the box, I would say you would have 1 or 2 settings wrong.

I've had 3 wireless modems over the years, as soon as you get the settings right, there is never an issue.

Finally got my wireless working.

Internode. I've been with them now for about 14 or 15 years... they have always been extremely reliable, and their phone support is excellent (can sometimes take 10 minutes on hold waiting for someone to answer the call, but when they do, I've always been impressed with the service).

I'm currently on 50Gb per month for $49.95 - excellent value, I believe.

But dont uploads count to your 50 gig quota I believe? i.e if you dl 20 gig and ul 30 gig you are shaped.

Nah mate, uploads only count with Telstra, not Internode or most other ISPs.

[dedja]

Incorrect, on the Easy 50Gb plan, uploads count as well ...

Whoops, Ill stand corrected, had never even heard of that plan.

Might have to look into it (or start reading Internodes newsletters) as Im currently paying $59.95pm for 35gb (download only).
Thanks for pointing it out fellas, I love this site!

You are definitely one of the fortunate ones. I'm also in Athelstone and it's hit or miss because the Paradise exchange is a long way a way with lots of shitty copper in between.

Yes Tel$tra, love your work .... f@$%ers!
