People that live in Australia...
 

Whats the best isp to get around Victoria or such...

looking to have more then 150kb/sec


Thanks

no one? :(

tpg.com.au

tpg is the last one you would want.. look for the ones like iinet/internode and the like that offer ADSL2 at your exchange

also check out http://www.whirlpool.net.au .. has good info there

I would suggest you do some research:

TPG is a good choice, but it really does depend on how long you intend on using the service, and if your choice is business or personal.

internode is preety good
i have used them and recommend them

telstra sux , we all know that hehe

Yeah haha avoid Telstra like the plague.

I'm curently with Netspace and before that was with Internode. Both fine companies.

optus is decent cable... pretty reliable... thats what i'm with..

http://www.iinet.com.au/broadband/

upto 8mbit

tpg is fine for me. needed unlimited fast internet access (basically everyone curves your speed after too many downloads). I signed up with tpg about a year ago and seriously have no complaints. Always fast, always on. Though I am sure if you're a heavy gamer geek or something you might find something to whinge about, I don't know.

Can I move to AU?

what are you gonna do in oz if I may ask?

IPrimus is pretty good

I second this.

I'm patiently waiting for my DSLAM exchange to be enabled sometime in the next 3 months so I can get iinet. I can't fucking wait.

optus cable is reliable and fast. may not be cheapest but it wont fuck up like all the adsl i have used do.

Moving to oz?

iiNet.
8mBit ADSL, 60GB cap.

it's good. I'm a few hundred meters from the exchange, I can get 7.8MBit.

My DSLAM is getting rolled out Q2.. I can't wait.

I was waiting around for 4 months for Telstra to find a copper path back to the exchange... eventually they just installed DSL capable equipment in my local RIM.

Looks like I'll be stuck with Telstra for a while, unless iinet and internode are also allowed to co-locate in the local cabinet on the street. :Graucho

iinet is great.

Hate to tell you, but dont get too excited, adsl sucks here, I have internode, but dont think you will have cable like speed, I think it's shit. You cant get anything to stream smoothly.

ugh.. and i used to drool over the 1.5 i got with iprimus back in '01...
I'm on crappy 512k DSL, not that in all honesty i need much more.. i don't really download music or movies.

Nice sig bro, thats funny as shit man LOL :1orglaugh

i use iinet, its not 8mb either, its 8000k. ive had it since the day it came out, however, i get shaped to 64k about 10 days in every month :(

its still the best in .au though

It's 8mBit, not 8MB

yo quantum your in brissie arent u? He was asking about vic I thought>?

IMHO anyone coming from usa will be BITTERLY dissapointed by our shitty ISPs

just MHO

thats your best best Persius... just got to move to an area that has it.

its not in my area yet :(

Matt

Yup I agree. I cry each time some mofo tells me what their plan is in EU, compared to down here. Another 10years we might have cought up.

-N

yeh it sucks eh, and the tv, cable is ten years or more behind usa.

Only compensation and its a huge one is the safe and secure place we live in!

Yah really I feel like an ass now. I bitch about having to pay £40 for 2mbit DSL.. when swedish pay $40 for 10mbit... then theres the poor aussies who pay £40-50 for a 1-8mbit connection with a cap of about 0.2mbit [download per month]

wb!

Same. Plenty of variants in Ozzie.
