April 26, 200917 yr Advertised: 1500/256 with a 10gb cap. After 10gb it is shaped to 64k. Uploads are not counted and there is a large amount of un metered content not to mention amazing tech support. But here in Aus internet is so expensive. $50 per month for that. And again, this is probably the best ISP in Aus and is a good value plan even if you may be getting this plan for $20 a month in UK or USA.however i have one of the worst/most annoying ISPs in Aus or i like to think of them as the worst isp in the universe200Mbps!! i can only dream of speeds faster then my network connection speedHaha yep go Internode! Just been downloading the games from the orange box which I just purchased and all of it is unmetered baby Telstra truly do suck considering they are the main telecommunications company in Australia. Go with Internode, I have already got three people off Telstra and onto Internode and they love it! Been using it for three years EDIT: Yeah a little late but found some spelling mistakes while reading this post Edited June 8, 200917 yr by Zenskas
August 22, 200917 yr Good grief!! When I look at some of the speeds posted here, you would think I lived in some backward Third World country (possibly I do!). Here in the UK, unless you are served by some small community local cable network (few and far between) or Virgin Cable (only in city areas) you have to rely on British Telecom's archaic attitude of serving up the telephone system via a network of the thinnest and cheapest copper cables up the oldest wood poles they can find.The result is the best that can be achieved from a max of 8Mb/s is around 4-5Mb/s.

September 11, 200916 yr In practice, I average around 100kb/s. Combination of oversubscribed area and a bad router, since it tends to get worse in the night, speedtest drops as low as 5mbit (or lower) and downloads crawl.
October 30, 200916 yr Well Australia is finally progressing (or at least my ISP, Internode, is). I used to get 10GB per month with a 1500/256kb/s plan for $50 per month. Now I'm getting 50GB with the same speeds for the same price from the same ISP! My ISP is also building their own DSLAM near where I live so I will finally be on ADSL2+ (for no extra charge per month). So I should then be getting up to 24mb/s DL and 1mb/s UL. Probably more like about 15mb/s DL though as I'm about 2 kilometers from the exchange. Edited October 30, 200916 yr by Zenskas
November 3, 200916 yr Looking at the results above, I guess my home connection doesn't score too bad: PS. Yeah, I know, I'm bored
