Paid $65month for ADSL2 85gb download (25gb peak, 60gb offpeak) which included phone line rental!I am on a Telstra only exchange in Townsville QLD and am with Internode which are a great ISP but I pay $100month for internet only with 50gb download. A friend near town has Optus ports and can still get the cheap rates that are in Brissy so I put him on the same Exetel plan as he was paying the same dollars with TPG on a 1500plan plus phone rental!Do you think regional people on Telstra ports are being screwed much...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 01/02/10 05:49 AM Share Posted 01/02/10 05:49 AM Do you think regional people on Telstra ports are being screwed much... Put it this way. When I did an audit on Telstra's fiber network people in country Qld use to run across roads to abuse us when we were in the pits. Not kidding.Seriously I don't blame them. QLD was meant to be the smart state, hey Mr Beatie. So much money was poured into the ground and just stayed there. Thank god I did not have to wear a Telstra uniform, or I would not have got into or out of any pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one Maximus, But yes, You did take notice of my server racks in my room Nah, that's one of my co-lo servers.Although you prob notice the the Upload rate is slower than the Download rate(which is what matters in a host situation), its because I pay for Outbound Bandwidth size, not data.Plus, I think the test server for speedtest data is in the same datacenter as that server, hense why it got 85mbit/s down. LOL Hungary doesn't have too many data centers. I never get 85mbit/s download on anything else to that server.My home connnection is this..
