HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Legacy Donating Member 4,348 Member For: 23y 10m 18d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 17/12/04 10:28 AM Posted 17/12/04 10:28 AM One word, "QOS".<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Maybe so.....I'm leaving a layer 3 bridged LLC setup which is in no way throttled and you get the full performance out of it but a 512/128 $59.99 to a 1.5mb/256 for $49.99. Can't go wrong. If I'm not happy, pfft, can always change back in 6 months..<{POST_SNAPBACK}>That's the one I've got at home - can only recall once that I had problems with the connection and it was resolved within a couple of hours. I'm as happy as a pig in sh1t with it.Trent.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>EXACTLY.

I'm on a 1.5Mb/256k flatrate plan for $149 per month. You get about 30GB before your downloads get flatrated. When I applied internode locked you in for only 3 months, which is good IMO. 2 Months with them and I won't be going anywhere.They also have home plans that are not flatrated. 24GB per month is the max in these I think, for $89 from memory. (don't quote me on the price)They have plenty of games servers (which you don't seem to want) and they have alot of good site mirrors which are not counted towards your downloads. They only count other downloads towards your monthly tally. Uploads are not counted at all.

That's a lot of pRon Ken!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I know you're not going to believe me (so why bother), but it's not all porn ... I do actually use the bandwith for work-related purposes as well ... Example: The latest upgrade for one of our workflow products runs ~986Mb. I spent 2 days (resuming on and off) downloading it from one of our Canadian servers.
