Optus cable internet - yip yah!

Yeah,
I can't get cable but recently got iprimus ADSL, a million times better than dial-up.
Also constructed a wireless LAN in the house (ridiculously easy with Mac) and so can wander around the house and back yard on-line !!

I'm with you Russell! I've had cable for just over 12 months and it really rocks. I recently had a wireless router installed with it and can now read the ExplorOZ forums on my lappie from anywhere in the house without the need for any cables (much to my wifes annoyance). 8-)

OPtus cable have been having numerous issues lately, specially with some local popular sites...

but having had it 12 mths, adn downloaded 20+ full length movies that are now SVCD's Im happy! Finding Nemo rules!

I live in the sticks and am stuck with dail-up...........patience is a virtue.....hahahaha
Cheers,Willie

Never a dull moment

I love broadband and work in IT. I have heard some horror stories about ridiculously high bills. Most people think they will never use the 500 meg download limit or whateverr the limit may be, however these cable conections are so fast you find yourself download things you wouldnt have even tried to do with dial up. Exess download are billed at very high rates.

This situation is mostly a problem if you have kids using the net who sart to download games and mp3 (music) etc.

Some ADSL connections have a fixed monthly bill and a download limit, when you exceed the limit the speed of your connection is slowed down until the next month. The slow speed is still fater than a dial up connection but you never end up paying more in a month.

Shop around when buying broadband but remeber you generally get what you pay for. Some service providors sell more bandwidth than they can reliably provide, the result is a slow service.

gday russell.
if cable allows you to look at 4wd sites quicker this post does have something to do with 4wd lol.
we just waiting for it to drop a little more then thats the way we be going to.back by popular demand

hi eskimo you think thats bad i can get adsl but no cable i am in a new estate se melb they didnt even bother with cable when" all " facilities were put in. b brains trust amongst our future planners i may be getting along in age but my grandkids all want high speed and all they will have is adsl because the brains didnt bother with cable yes you can get satellite cable but it is still a dial up and i believe high speed download but slow phone upload (my understanding anyway)
