PostSubject: new ISP! Adam or Internode ?   Thu Oct 29, 2009 5:36 pm

talking about upgrading from my shitty snail's pace contract that expires 21st next month to blistering ADSL2+


internode:
http://www.internode.on.net/residential/broadband/adsl/extreme/pricing/

adam:
http://www.adam.com.au/products/adamdirect/adamdirect_cost.php


i think i get a bit more bang for my buck from Adam, but they have upload caps that are the same as the peak download youre paying for,
does internode have any upload restrictions?

and i know i can get probably better internal downloads from Internode than Adam, but i want to see what you guys (particularly anyone from my state) prefer if you got either or have friends that do.


looking at around the $60 mark per month,
well in Adam's case the 20gig peak/20gig offpeak per month



Cheers in advance

heres a good question i should ask: do the speeds differ for Peak and Off Peak downloads? i reckon they did for my current provider, does anyone know if they do for Adam?


Adam is 20gb pk and 20gb offpk, $54.95 pm
Internode is 35gb, $59.95 pm

both as far as i know are good speeds, reliable providers.

both have internal downloads, internode i think has better stuff available though.

both have similar set up fees i believe



also: what new Modem and Router should i get? to replace the old 54g Dlink modem and Belkin router.

I'm not sure about Internode but Westnet don't count any uploads, so what your quota is is what you download, you just might pay a slight more (marginal)

I'm on an adsl2+ plan, i sync at about 9mbit with 25gb peak, 45gb offpeak, but i pay about $130 a month because Telstra is a Cunt and owns 99% of the adsl2 equipment here so its wholesale. So hoping the NBN implementation here will fuck them off and let us have decent internet at decent prices.

Fucking monopolising telstra whorebag cunt fucking maggot fucks.

thankyou.

I have internode dogg. i Live on the north side. Near the hills. There good. I have adsl +2 plan for $59.95 on 25Gig p/m.

If you go over, they have a online feature in which u can top up your bandwidth. 2G for $5, and the prices are lower if u purchase more than 2G. But u can stay capped if you want.

Also they have a profile system in which you can pick what type of connection you would like. Ultra fast. Stable. Low ping connection. and so forth. its like a over clocking feature for your connection. All free.

customer service is ok. takes its time. but if u do leave your number they will call you back and there very helpful.

Thats my internode for ya. Smile

Biased opinion, but Internode ftw Razz

No, Node don't count upload quota. You might not get as many GB/month with Node for the same price, i think the services you get are better. Things like the Monthly Usage Meter (MUM) and stuff that i don't think any other ISP's provide. You get a better overall package with Node.

Can't wait till i move and jump on Node ADSL2. I'm going to rape the arse out of the file library ^_^
