If you can get it in your area, I would go with an ADSL2+ plan, either with iiNet or Internode. They are probably the best value for speed these days, and most ADSL2+ plans have decent usage as well.

For reference, I can't get ADSL2+ in my area so I am stuck on an oldish Netspace plan, 1500/256 with 60GB of data per month (25GB peak, 35GB off peak).

Edit: Should have mentioned, I pay $79 a month for this

I am on 1500/256 with 15mbs of usage. But I only get 1500 speeds in the morning. All other times I get dial-up speeds -_-. I really need a new ISP.

I can't get ADSL2+ because my local exchange is using pair gain

The only way to get ADSL2+ is if i switch to BigPond (Telstra will upgrade the connection), but Bigpond plans are extremely poor value.

I'm one of the unlucky few, who can't get cable or ADSL . This leaves only satellite , or wireless. I was with a wireless ISP, Cirrus Communications (formerly Commslogic). Was $35 for 256/64. The good points were it was the only option other than dial-up, and it was truly unlimited ie, no shaping ever. Unfortunatley, it was woefully unreliable with constant dropouts.

To cut a short post long, I'm now with Virgin Broadband, which uses their mobile network for connectivity. Their deal is 512/384, 4gb (shaped to 128/128), for $60. Includes phone aswell (free local and national calls).

Im on the Bigpond Cable Extreme (17Mb/s) 60GB per month plan. I think its $139? Dont know I run it through the company so dont pay attention to the cost.
Im still waiting to see if it increases to the advertised 30Mb/s.

Oh yeah I hate the fact my uploads are counted. I cant go and use a private tracker because they require you to seed. So that would kill me.

Would I pay fo it out of my own pocket...... Probably no. If I was forced to pay for my own internet I would go with iiNet ADSL2+ with their 60GB plan. Nearly half the price. I recently tried them out for a month but coming from 17MB/s down to 6Mb/s really hurt me. So if push comes to shove then iiNet for me.

Whats your problem this morning Trinest? Like I said in my post I use the Fastest and most superior Network in Australia (there is no denying that Telstra Cable isnt the best quality wise). And I have tried iiNet and it was a good network. Just lacked on the speed but that was only a distance thing.

I think we've all had our bad experiences with one ISP or another. i'm with TPG and i've had more than a couple "incidents" with them that really ticked me off. however overall, my internet service is good. i just hope the "customer service" experience is improved upon.

Man there are some real rip offs out there. $30 pm for 512 and 2gb total downloads. ****me. thats worse than telstra.

$40pm no contract period (original 6 months) 1500/256 42gb download

If telstra or optus would pull their fingers out and get adsl2 running in my area i could get that for $45 instead.
