Internet Blues


Now, i would like to complain about the Internet Service in Brisbane. Firstly let me introduce the various ISPs.....Telstra Bigpond (im using this currently), Optus (Singtel bought over liaoz), and TPG. The internet has a quota system in that every mth, the ISP gives u a certain limit, say 12GB....if u upload and download 12gb of data, it will charge u extra or they slow ur internet down to a measly 64kbps....The advantages and disadvantages between these ISPs are:


Bigpond => Very expensive, 12GB for $69.90, 25GB for $99.90, as my homestay ppl is using it for telephone line as well, the price is cut by 50%, so 25Gb for $50 is reasonable for me....haha...somemore no contract....

Optus => Should be ok ba....but 20GB for $69.90 is too steep for me ler...need 24 mth contract somemore....

http://www.optus.com


TPG => New kid on the block.....offering 150GB (40GB peak, 110GB offpeak!!!) for $69.90....need 18 mth contract...when i move i will subscribe to this.....

I recently upgraded from 12GB to 25GB, as i often exceed my quota (download too many animes and journals)....this means that my torrent speed fall to 0.5kbps instead of the usual 50kbps....and my tvants cant stream too....this means no EPL for me to watch....so hopefully my life would be better after this.....
