Telstra Vs Optus (1 Viewer)

[Panda Bear]

nono..

just go to the bigpond page: http://www.bigpond.com/myaccount/broadband/default.asp

and then "manage users" should be there...

for the 2 person thing for two computers.. you should have an SB4200 motorola surfboard modem.

there are 2 jacks at the back. 1 for ethernet, the other USB. When the telstra dude gave you the modem, it would have come with USB cable and the ethernet cable.

All you do is use the ethernet cable for the nearest computer and the USB for the longest (well not longest) but a bit more distant than what the ethernet cable can reach.

Coz with the USB cable, you can get cable extenders in harvey norman and stuff.

That's really it. 1 cable goes into the ethernet port of 1 computer directly while the other cable goes to the USB port of the other computer directly. No routers no nothing! the thing is, for this to work simlutaneously, you will need to pay the extra $1, otherwise you will have to disconnect and connect the other (bit troublesome)

that's all there is to it!

good luck!

[Panda Bear]

hi lillailia!

nope its not happening to me, coz i've been with telstra for like 2 years now.

i know for a fact its happening to all new subsccribers, so i guess you're one of them!

can you pm me with you msn?! we can talk better there!

 

[MonkEE]

You also get a free house phone line rental for your phone + 100 free calls or rather with optus, that contributes for the extra charge over telstra...soso, its same same.

I think.
