Hey YoYo!...

I use Bigpond ADSL and for the most part it is pretty fast. That being said, however, it does go down for several hours at a time at least 2-3 times a week. It is a REAL pain in the ass when it happens!

Make sure you look at their new costs first too. They only give you 3gig transfer per month, so work it out and see if that will bother you.

I'm on a cable modem. It took a while to get it working but I can't complain now. Its very fast and reliable. I'd recommend it.

but its kinda getting worse and worse everyday

I live in a "exclusive" neighbor hood with our own t-1 XDSL connection.

Hey not everyone can be a pimp

You get 3 gigs of transfer a month from your isp? I'd use that up in about 30 minutes

Lane, where do you live? I'm on roadrunner also, and it gos down about every 2 months for like 3 days.

do you have similar problems?

sternyduke · 11-27-2001, 03:10 AM

Yo Yo maybe you should look into sprint broadband i use them right now, pretty good for sattelite service.

geoff · 11-27-2001, 06:45 AM

I'm on Bigpond ADSL. while Telstra does have its problems it sure as shit beats dialup. Only thing in the fine print to look out for is that your uploads are counted in your monthly gig allowance
