Just wondering which ISP you guys are using, and if you are happy with the service they provide. I live in Brisbane and am looking for a good deal. Any ideas?

Yeah... The Super 2 ADSL2+ plan for $70 with 40gb peak and 110gb off-peak.

www.tpg.com.au/

Can check your number there to see if you can get it.

Hehe...I work at an upstream ISP, but the deals our downstreams offer are ridiculous, TPG were the best deal I could find and oddly enough you even guessed the service that I have been considering getting.Thanks for the prompt responses there Muga.

Well for me off-peak is from 3am to 9am, all the rest is peak.... It just means I have 110gb to download at the times of 3am to 9am and the rest of the day I have 40gb to download. Over the month.

im with TPG but got the 100 GB for $130 per month.... i was gonna go for the 150 for $70 but i hate off peak and on peak and i recon the times they have for dl sucks ass badly.... im not on my computer from 3am to 9am plus i don't wanna be leaving it on all nite and then come home from work and turn my comp on again..... when i use it i usually dl at the same time which is usually at nights and afternoons

Plus i've also heard people having lots of problems with connections and speeds when on the 150 Gb plans
