Hey guys,

I've just moved into a new place and we need to set up an internet connection. We have a mobile broadband pre-paid usb stick but it's pretty slow and doesn't always get good reception.

We don't really have any need for a home phone as we are more than often out of the house. We don't want to have to pay for a mobile bill and a home phone that is barely used.

I've been with both Telstra and Optus in the past but tbh they were both sh*t... Not planning on going back to Drop-outs, terrible speeds and no idea tech support.

Can anyone recommend a service or provider if we just want a broadband plan? After good value and a reliable service with good speed. We don't download heaps but we'd still like a reasonable data allowance.

Cheers guys,

Dan

There's lots of sites like this which are good to check plans out.

I have always been with Netspace. Awesome service & hardly any connection drop outs. I think it's happened about twice for an hour or so. However, since they've merged with iiNet you can't buy as good deals off them, mostly bundled with phone etc.

EDIT: TPG have some good deals, even unlimited is cheap but I can't comment on their service as I've never used it.

Thanks for those links guys,

Just working through them now.

After seeing that there are so many companies and options, I guess a better question would be;

Which do I steer away from? And which have you been happy with? There are a few there that I've never heard of...

Cheers guys

Ive used Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and Exetel. Currently on Internode and it sh*ts on them all. No contract, No peak/off-peak times.. Unbeatable customer service and best of all, 150gb of download! :spoton:

Being from Perth mate, check out Amnet.

Got good pricing, good download limits, no upload limits and good speed.

Cant tell you much about their tech support because I've never had to use them in the 2+yrs

200gb/$60 a month, Exetel, no dramas. New customers will only pay $50 for this plan, line sync for me is 14000 down 1000 up.

You will find that people on all isp forums at whirpool will have complaints, just work out what you neeed, what you wanna pay and filter through based on whats available at your exchange.
