Phone And Internet Plans | Broadband Bundles - iPrimus

 

[OILRIG]

ah looks like a good deal.i will get that i think. cheers

Before you jump onto iPrimus, have a look at what plans different ISPs offer with this handy site:
http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/
iiNet and Internode are the top two to look at. I'm with the big ii, 200GB plan, ADSL 2+ speeds (If I was close enough to the exchange lol), bundled with the phone for $80 a month.

agreed , shop around , you may find better , i am with iprimus for good reason but it may not suit everyone

 

[OILRIG]

yeah the only reason i thought id go with that is 2 of my mates are with them and they get really good speeds also. iv looked on that site before lord,cheers. a mate of mine in hammy hill had iinet and the speed was **** even on the fast plan. might of just been a problem with his connection. i will shop around more but that platnum one looks pretty good. mobile pricing looks pretty good

 

[LordBug]

Yeah, it depends on how far you are from the exchange. ADSL2+ Broadband Exchange Information - Search and compare broadband Internet plans for ADSL, ADSL2, Naked DSL is bloody handy for getting a good idea of what sort of speeds you should/could be getting on ADSL. Since I'm pretty much on the edge of the exchange, I'm getting about 2meg down. I'm grateful for that much, because my boss is stuck with Ocean Broadband who give him the absolute willies. And he lives in Thornlie, so he's got the worst of both worlds

 

[OILRIG]

hahaha yeah.thats a fun site. my mum lives 330mtrs from the hilton exchange. i should get her to connect some broadband up. i bet she would get some good speeds

 

[heyhey]

At work,

 

[OILRIG]

!!!! i didnt know you could get upload speeds like that. i suppose it must be a death business plan

State Government Business Plan

 

[OILRIG]

ahhh, where do i sign up

 

[heyhey]

You sign on the dotted line after, 'you cannot use the internet privileges to access anything, only google, other state government and federal government sites, charity sites and patrol4x4.com is allowable'.
Its not really worth giving up something to get teased with great internet speeds for free with no way to use them.

 

[OILRIG]

[OILRIG]
