I signed up with virgin (2year plan) and Optus broadband (1 year pan) in feb and was told I would get reception for both. Turns out I don't. Bit of a bugger coz Telstra is expensive hey!

We are currently with iinet (have been for the last 12 years) and find them great. I just checked and we can still use them up there but not their network so the deal isn't as good. We currently get 200GB anytime quota but up under the other plan for the same price the other plan splits its quota 100GB peak and 100GB offpeak. I guess this won't really change anything because we usually don't use anywhere close to 100GB. We have our home phone with iinet but we don't actually have a landline plugged as we use our mobiles so I'm not sure how competitive their home phone plans are.

I didn't take a close look to see what the prices were like but I assume they are on par with Masters.

We use a separate company for voip and don't make a lot of calls. We went for the middle home phone plan incase the net is down and we arent able to voip our calls. We are using telstra equip with iinet. Previously we were with amnet on telstra equipment. I prefered amnet. Iinet aren't as good a value as some companies but they are pretty good. We switched only because we wanted to drop our costs a bit so we could spend the same as we previously did while paying for eldest son to have net at uni in perth. We use a massive amount of data and miss amnet. no uploads were counted with them either. oh well. You can use plenty of other companies for your net if you are on testra equipment. SB sounds like we are on the same iinet plan as the one you have. We upped from the plan below this after 2 weeks and have had to learn to go back to watching data. We had more than double this quota before with amnet and didn't stress about peak and off peak because of it.But of course were paying $30 more for the privilege. Extra because we were country. iinet told us they didn't charge extra for country but they charge for turbo. Which is their pathetic way of charging to give semi decent adsl speeds. It's an additional $10 for turbo. To add insult to injury this is supposed to give up up to adsl2+ but because we are on rim all it does is give us up to 8mps max . ( we get around 5-6mbps on a good day) Hopefully they won;t decide your estate is country so you don;t get this nonsense money spinner. Re: Oh yer crazy baby..... keys,paint,moving in,its all gogo 1472Dec 16, 2012 12:58 pm Ok kiwi saved this one Great info guys cheers It does "suck balls " enelya they are just so exy,wonder why he can only have telstra,matbe it was some estate deal or such JuJuB as if we need more hassles How are you going kiwi "oh bum" is right,i really dislike telstra as it is & we dont even use them now ATM we are with optus,500GB or MG (no idea with techno stuff but i know its 500 something ) We also get all/any company mobile calls,all local,all STD,1300 numbers as well for $110mth Suits us,dont get anything like that with the big T Monday i am ringing optus again,i am unsure if the lady i was talking to understood that a phone line was already there Maybe she thought there was none & thats why she said "no can do" Have to get that sorted ASAP! Re the lights,i just dont like flashy ones,i mean i like them but not for us,makes me abit boring i know The hallways,toilets,powder,laundry,WIP,WIL etc i just wont those plain white round frosted ones with SS thingy to the ceiling,boys with have planish too as they dont like any i have pointed out,DD has a very pretty one & poss us too,anywhere else i have no idea yet.

Some of the other internet providers have agreements with telstra to use their lines so they are able to offer service to areas that their own network doesn't cover. I find it crazy that Telstra is still more expensive than competitors who have to pay telstra to use their lines.

I heard about someone the other day who has built in an nbn estate. 9 months after handover they still have no internets. Because nbn delayed and Telstra won't put lines in as they won't be used once nbn done! Apparently they haven't done phone lines either. There is also retirement village and they are relying on mobiles. Very poor form from Telstra! I hope you get it sorted!!
