My Board

[color=\"green\"]ok, my family is thinking of purchasing bigpond broadband, but arent convinsed that it will be better/any different from Optusnet.

Im here asking you, whom have either; used bigpond broadband before, or are currently still using it. whats it like, speed? service? would you recommend it for verczeh? and most importantly, is it any good??

anything else you feel is slightly important, add it in <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]Well this is -vaguely- important. I was with optusnet prepaid dialup for a few months, and i was not impressed with the service but i assumed everyone was going through the same thing, i then switched to comindico (my current provider) and i realised that i was being ripped off significantly.

Although it has nothing to do with broadband i thought it worth mentioning. [/b][/i][/color][/font]

Im with bigpond broadband and find it slow, annoying, unreliable and it takes about an hour to get onto the helpdesk if there is a problem.

That said, the help once you get it is pretty good, and bigpond is certainly better than most other cable deals - its just that in general broadband in Aus sux0rs

Trin said all what I wouldve said. theyre ripping me off. im paying $90 a month for 512/128 unlimited usage on adsl broadband; whereas if cable was available here, I could get on a unlimited usage cable plan: uncapped/128 for $60 a month. RIP OFF!
