Internet Service Provider

Optus broadband if available, Optus dialup otherwise.

Where are you?

what do you want?

Budget in mind?

Do you download lots of stuff?

Do you want limited hours?

Do you want Limited downloads?

Using Optus dialup - want Optus cable but not while I'm renting for 12 months.

No experience with primus.

With Optus my service was good for the first month and then went downhill? Suspicious hey.

I'm on a 120hr per month plan - heaps cheaper than going over hours on the 30 hr per month plan.

I was with Telstra who honestly provided better service than optus - but the cost would be much higher if I was on 120 hours per month over there (download capped rather than time capped).

If you mainly chat, get a download capped account. If you mainly download stuff, surf or play games, get a time capped account.

That's the cheapest way. Chat doesnt take much download and you spend a lot of time doing nothing.

Try tpg.com.au

Been arroung for along time

There costs are reasonable for unlimited etc

have had iprimus 25/month ok connection usually 44,000bps

Depending on where you live try Broadband- look at www.whirlpool.com.au
I'm with iinet (www.iinet.net.au)- great service and lots of options. Although I'm on a mid range plan, I have a mate on the cheapest plan who often goes over his limit- but it doesn't matter with iinet as it just drops in speed to 72k with NO SURCHARGE (still way faster than dialup)
iinet is by far the best of the options for broadband IMHO. -I would NEVER go back to dialup...
Have 2 sons at uni and they are very computer savvy- all their mates are with iinet too .
(Iinet should give me a bonus for this!!!)

Hey fred,
I'm also with iinet, great service etc. I've been with iinet since they first started up, one of the many positives of being in fantastic perth i guess......

Using dodo $10 a month 70mb unlimited time. Never pay this much. Always $24.90 which is the max you can be charged on dial up. Monthy average for downloads is 1Gb. Always conect on first dial and find it a lot faster than telstra at a fraction of the cost.

I have been with TPG dial up in Armidale NSW for 4 years. Generally OK. Sometimes a bit slow at certain times of day. No problems with connection.
$16/month unlimited time and downloads.

In Sydney I was with First Link www.fl.net.au and was with them for 4 yrs, excellent service and their support bloke knows his shiat well, and is always willing to help.

Also tried Ihug, I like the unlimited download unlimited times for $25!
