I'm going to get broadband.

This provider seems pretty good, a little too good....

anyone know how good the speed/service is?

 

[redslert]

why don't you go for the more popular companies which are more established...

internode, iinet, swiftel....

stay away from bigpond/optus for adsl

 

[jm1234567890]

cause this is soooooo much cheaper.....

 

[fatmuscle]

bigpond isn't ADSL
it's just... crap!

Yeah im thinking of going with extel.....but i might go with dodo for 3 months then churn to extel...only $35 for 256k and u get 6gb keep looking on whirlpool, i know they arent GREAT for performance but they are great value for money.Do u game a lot? if u do i dont think their pings are as good as the others but it is comparable.

 

[jm1234567890]

nah i don't game. i just download.

then it should be all good, keep checking whirlpool, i think the bad experiences are just due to individual line quality

It should be good cause next month they having 1-8am free downloads, so ye

But I already do >30gB on swiftel, 33 so far this month, yay for free transfers

I'm a little weary of exetels pricing and how they can provide good service at that cost, but I had a look at their uptime graphs, and its been 100% since they started it, so ye, mixed opinions

Thats why you have to have heaps of threads going at the same time to utilise the speed, if u are on the ftp scene, and if you can, use leechftp and it uses up to 16 threads to get all the files

If you use DC, then get BCDC++ cause it allows you to multisource your files, or just que up a heck of a lot in DC++.

Otherwise, watever
