Internet provider suggestions.

[STEALTHY™]

Its that time again, when i'm sick of optus having dropouts every 10 minutes, and now the phone starting to dropout aswell.


What companies do you guys recommend. Keeping in mind i don't have a credit card, so direct deposit needs to be avaliable.

I'm stuck on dialup, so I'm not sure whats good for broadband, though I've heard very good things about Internode and iiNet.

I use Dodo Dialup myself, and find it to be quite good for dialup, though I've heard a lot of bad things about their broadband.

Just whatever you do, stay the fark away from Smellstra SmallPuddle (Telstra BigPond).

Im with ComCen - ISP - Australia - Sydney Melbourne Brisbane Adelaide Perth Canberra Newcastle

Stay away from soul. They stuffed me round big time, their service is crap and atleast once a week the net would be out for an hour or so for no good reason.
I hope optus is ok for me i just swapped to them on one of those fusion plans, so i got adsl2+ now.

Have you checked out broadbandguide.com.au and whirlpool.com.au for different plans. There are forums there on those sites you can read up on too.

TPG are pretty good as well IMO

Ive finished my 2nd 24 month contract with bigpond and i have found they are really good.

the first 24 months i was on bigpond cable.

then moved up to cable extreme.

lately i have been looking for another provider with more than 20gig downloads for a cheaper price and matched speed.

i was thinking about going on the optus one that is 100 dollars and you get the home phone also.

ill keep an eye on this thread

Interesting people recommend iiNet, I've been with westnet for years, expensive but quality service, they have recently teamed up with iiNet and the service is terrible, and customer service went out the door.

TPG (partner of soul i believe) offer ADSL+ with 150gb for like 79 bux, which is well worth it if you download and can get it... BUT they wont match that price with their adsl one plan(slower plan same downloads + price), but im going to try again

Stay away from Telstra, especially in rural areas, everyone i know has had nothing but trouble.

Ive been with internode for about 3 years now. Only outage I have had is when our power goes out Customer service is non existant, in 3 years I have never spoken to someone from there, havent needed to.

Now run a naked dsl2 connection which is bloody fantastic.

Thats the one i got and so far its good, free calls are great too, as it extends to virgin mobiles too and all land lines + 13 numbers, im lovin it.
