Technology & Social Media Internet provider

Hi,
I've got Dodo internet at one of my places and apparently the $64.80 monthly internet (believe it's ASDL 2 plus) (50GB peak and off peak) is going to be $70 per month from next month. I didn't get any notice of this either, they just told me when I was querying the current price. This is in West Ryde, can anybody tell me of a provider who will do the same for a more competitive price?

Edit: I went onto iSelect and "my net Fone" came up with the most competitive price and with heaps more data. I'm going to call them first.

 

I'm with TPG, $59.99 a month for unlimited. Never had a problem with them.

 

Just like increasing departure tax to $60 from $55. A real disincentive to coming to Australia.

 

I've always found TPG and iinet to be good quality and reasonably priced.

Cheers

Jamie

 

I am with bigpond, have been ever since I began using the internet - when I moved to Lake Macquarie earlier this year it was NBN or nothing so pay $120 per month, $20 for higher speed, some teething problems but so far its good.
The expense I justify because I dont have a smart phone just one of those cheap mobiles that lets me have unlimited phone and text messages @ $30 per month

 

Yes I went month to month because I'm not sure how long i'd need the service! So its an additional $10 a month that I was paying.

 

I have iinet in one of my Airbnb flats. It's $59pm.
With the flat I just rented out, I didn't bother with the internet and made it clear that I would not be providing it. It's not just the cost, but if something goes wrong it becomes an issue, so I opted to not offer it.

 

speed > price

I had iinet for ages, constantly I was complaining about the slow speed I was getting, they said it was the exchange and nothing i could do about it which I accepted for now. In the end I changed all my business stuff over to Commander so did they home line and internet at the same time. Night and day difference. I was only getting around 3-4mbs downloads with iinet but it is around 10-12mbs with Commander.

 

+1 I used the same plan from TPG when I was on ADSL2+. Good value, never had a drop-out that I can remember.

 

$70 is expensive. I would check Exetel. They do 50GB peak/50GB off peak for $40/mth. I have been with them for years and happy with the service.

I think it's more like $30pm. I know its not the end of the world but why waste $30pm if you don't need to?

 

I think its the building.... only a few service providers will provide internet there. I think the reason is only Telstra has capacity? The block next door, in the same strata complex can get more internet options.
Ps. Apparently NBN is not scheduled to come for at least 3 years....

 

Facing the same with Optus. Considering moving and this is cable

 

I have optus cable have nothing but amazing service. I get consistent speeds @50-60mbps.

 

Perhaps. I was going to link you to adsl2exchange but if that is the case it might not be helpful. Might be worth a check. Put in your phone number and click Equipment Providers

NBN and ADSL2+ Broadband Exchange Information - Search and compare broadband Internet plans for NBN, ADSL, ADSL2, Naked DSL

 

I always had iinet and never a problem.

For business grade I'm moving to TPG 400mbs up and 400mbs down symmetrical fibre. $499 a month with $2k install on a 2 year contract. We are about to be running more than 30 VOIP phones from that location so need the speed.

 

the perks of living in the city (Sydney) is that you get fibre to the building...Wondercom (a TPG subsidiary) getting closer to the advertised 100mbps down.

 

Wow. ...we keep getting told its the exchange they are upgrading !
