optus cap shits me. so does the entire limiting australias broadband/cable growth bullshit. Switzerland = 20mb/s and 300gb cap
i mean wtf i'm moving there! this 12gb cap is total bs. i can get over 1mb/s from japanese download sites but over here the highest i seem to go is abt 800kb/s. upload is usually 15kb/s.
28.8k shaping is wrong, it should be 128k or around that to allow people to use internet banking services n such.

ADSL IS SHIT.
Ive had optus cable and telstra cable and telstra ADSL(im on now) and iPrimus ADSL.
Telstra cable is the fastest(about 900kbs max), but as said, isnt as constant as optus cable(which is less crowded.
ADSL you get constant speeds, but MAX of about 55kbs. In the city, you get a tad higher, and add that to a 1.5mbs plan, you get around 150-200(190kbs in north sydney)
ADSL is easier, as its just phone line, but its SHIT slow, and more expensive than cable. Cable is a bit of a bitch if you need to get the cable installed from the street(and some people cant get it.full stop) but hell fast and cheaper.
Telstra is a whore, but optus is more of a whore.
The 10gig "unlimited" plan on telstra ADSL is meant to cap you at 10gig to crappy speeds. On optus they do this as soon as you hit 10gig.
Telstra hardly ever does this on ADSL. some proof(i woudnt be able to download 30+ gigs after they capped me to 5kbs speeds):

Cable they can be a bit omre harsh and cap you.
In conclusion
Telstra ADSL - slow, expensive, but never get capped speeds after 10gig
Telstra Cable - fast,cheaper(but harder to install) can get capped speeds
Optus Cable - fast,cheap, get 12gig instdead of 10, but get capped instantly after the 12gigs.

if ur just under the limit (i.e 9 gigs), u can wait until after mondays until u start leeching again. this is because the telstra ppl cap users on mondays. so if u start downloading again on tuesday u wont get capped until the following monday. i do it all the time.

You can't get 16 coz the max line speed is 10 (shared).JayWalker said:Im using Telstra,
i get from 1 - 16 MBps..
Averages about 2MBps... Really good for downloading large files
But other than that, are you in a densely populated area or in an outskirt suburb? Do you get those speeds at peak times, or only at 12am etc?
