$69.95 for 10GB on cable, plus unlimited usage at 64Kbit/s speed after that.

hmm, doesnt sound too bad. but that 24 month lock in contract is pretty gay. so the question now is would you prefer telstras new plan or say , iinets 512/128Kbit/s 20 gig/month plus capping to 72kbit/s after 20 gigs for $79.95.

I think I've answered that for Newbie, I myself would go with ADSL for the extra $10 over Cable.

You keep telling us about your 'downloading habits' psycho_mushy. You'll make more female friends if you be quiet about that sort of thing, or stop altogether. And please don't ask us to decide which ones you should keep and which ones you should backup/burn or whatever you do with it, after you're "done".

Anyway, I think Telstra has done a great job with keeping you busy and 'occupied' (if I may call it that), hehe ;)

It's not funny, it's true (which, in turn, makes it really funny!) :lol:

That's all PM ever does now, for the past couple of days: pornos. *shakes head*

All it means is Optoss is releasing ADSL next year and Tel$tra is shitting bricks trying to get more market share before that happens.... :D

Correct. :)
It's also a cunning move on BigPond's part to undermine the launch of Optus ADSL in March, while at the same time making its under-utilised cable network more compelling. With what may turn out to be a 10GB plan at reasonable pricing, coupled with the extreme speed of cable (10Mbit/s compared to ADSL's maximum 1.5Mbit/s), cable is now set to claw back its dwindling market share compared to ADSL.

Just wait till they have caught the majority of the market and lock them in a contract then revert their plans to the original and laugh at you.

No, that cannot happen. My dreams never come true..

LOL @ the FAQ

"The vast majority of BigPond customers currently use substantially less than 10GB."

WELL DUH!!!!! If Bigpond didn't charge so fricking much excess gigabytes with the majority on the 3gig plan it's obvious people don't want to exceed even 4 gigs.

LOL Tel$tra, your funny, very very funny.

I'm gonna transfer my plan from 3GB to Unlimited right now (if its possible)

hopefully this will be good - cos I like the speed of cable over ADSL, and I dont really download gigs upon gigs, so I have my priorities. That's why ive resisted iinet all this time
