    Decent cheap home phone and broadband provider?

    Hey guys, moving into a new place and was wondering who to go with, i checked out a flat and he said thier combined homephone and broadband was only 35 a month....but lost his number so cant check who with!

    But i assume that was a low cap, ideally i want more than 20gb a month...

    Anybody know what kind of plans are out there, who to avoid etc etc.

    Cheers: Mark

    You do pretty much still get what you pay for, but PM me your number and I'll see what I can do. I work for Telstra Clear.

    Good luck in this country - they are all much of a muchness

    I think we are with Scodafone, through ihug... We were with Slingshit, but they sucked.

    Just look on their various websites. I hear good things about Orcon.

    swapped from telecom to telstraclear a few months ago. Bill is about the same $160/mth for phone/tolls/2 cells and broadband but with telecom we were capped at 3G and now we have 10. Trade-off is it doesnt slow down and you get charged another $12 for 10G over the 10. With kids using the internet we use about 9.5/mth

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    any idea how much the base price is without the tolls and cells?

    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    I'm with telecon.
    Download cap: As much as I want.
    Upload: As much as I want.
    $50 per month.

    Unfortunately it is a discontinued plan, and I'm stuck with throttled torrent speeds.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Telecoms plans are alot better than they used to be i would look at them...
    Snap internet also has some decent plans. Xnet i would say avoid to many down times and crap international speeds from personal experance.
    However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

    Telecom has improved, a lot. I'd recommend looking at them first - it may be slightly more expensive, but remember you are getting the most reliable connection, 24 hour support, and free wireless modem for your $$.

    Orcon would be second choice.
