Hi all, I just tried to cancel my Bigpond cable broadband plan, and the guy offered me the deal below... I was planning on moving to TPG though ... Just wondering which plan do you guys think is "better", assuming I have the required hardware already (which I do).

Telstra BigPond (Cable)
  • Speed (d/u): Up to 8000 / 128 kbps
  • Limit: 25 Gig/month, then shaped at 64kbps
  • Bundled with home phone (so 100 free calls/month)
  • Price: $59.95/month
  • Installation: $0

TPG (ADSL)
  • Speed (d/u): 1500 / 256 kbps
  • Limit: 25 Gig/month (+ 30GB offpeak), then shaped at 128kbps
  • Comes with VoIP calling abilities (with 500 minutes for free/month)
  • Price: $69.95/month
  • Installation: $59.95

In terms of my broadband habits, I always go over my limit with my current 12GB/month plan, and will tend to use about 20 gigs worth just on everyday browsing (3 heavy-users/computers in my house), + downloading of certain other large file torrents if I have the chance.

I guess it mostly comes down to speed versus limit. Do you think the drop from the Bigpond cable speed to the slower TPG ADSL speed will hurt much?

Thanks for any help,
Ac
