I also saw a few horror stories, relatively close to the node they are connected to but only getting 12mbit! am thinking about downgrading to 50/20 but the cost difference is hardly anything. if I up my data allowance from 500-1000gb it will cost $20/month extra but the difference between 100/40 and 50/20 is only $5. price is alright cause the connection is running full speed all the time so far I was not keen on congested networks ....*cough cough* iinet, tpg, optus *cough* Edited 20/12/17 12:43 AM by skidxr6t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2 days in and I've already used 50gb now though HAH. aussie broadband is pretty chill, with no contract and they make it easy to change your plan or buy a data block. unlimited 100/40 sounds nice and I could switch to a provider that offers it, but I like to use the internet during peak times and have good speeds after enduring 5 years of congested unlimited adsl2 that synced at 10-15mbit but I only ever got like 2-4mbit.

How do you guys cope lol That's about what I use on my unlimited plan. I'm 222GB in, on day 15 of 31. Edit: I double checked, it's closer to 400. Also Netflix is unmetered.

How do you guys cope lol The best I ever did was 750GB's worth of James Bond collection DVD's in a month on the old ADSL2+ connection. I remember when iiNet first started 1TB plans and they said at the time, no-one can go over the limit, which I took as a challenge and started downloading everything I could off their FTP Server, deleting it off my drives and trying again, until I realised it's part of their freezone so it wasn't showing on my downloads. Then I gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a set of stutterbump training wheels on it. She managed to pick it up quite well and was doing laps by herself with minimal instruction. I mainly had to tell her to watch where she was going cos her butthead brother was distracting her. Just the other day I was thinking that it was a waste of money cos they hardly use it but one of the boys was into it today and the daughter loved it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
