Couple prices I looked at, I will have much faster, much more reliable broadband and a much bigger data cap at a combined internet+phone monthly bill rather less than I am paying now.

Can’t wait!
Let me know how it goes and how much when you get it installed. When is it coming to your home?
They tell me later this year as well. I am hoping before 14th September.

The packages I have looked at are pretty pricey.

$80 per month for 100gb plus another $80 on top for a turbo pack supposedly delivering the highest speed, which they cannot guarantee as individual premises differ.

I think it will be all rather expensive and Monk's $20 is a pipe dream.
At $20 a month I'd be on it in a flash. not likely though.

I wasn't aware you could even get ADSL2 for $20 per month.

Monk is an elderly knucklehead. He announced months ago on his twitterblog that "they" were in his Street. Perhaps he was lying? :mrgreen

$20 UNLIMITED is a dream ....... current rates? Download a game .... 20GB and go over your 15GB a MONTH that is supposedly "unlimited". You want 100GB per month, that's an extra $10-15 a month. UNLIMITED? Perhaps $150 a month?

Don’t wait, look it up:

iiNet: http://www.iinet.net.au/nbn/nbn-plan-residential.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

20+20GB (5 times more than I get now)
50:20 speed
$64.95/month

Bump it up to 200+200, $74.95 plus Skype call costs. LESS than I pay now!

Look up Dodo, it will be a bit cheaper.

That's for standard 12/1 Mbps. If you use less than 20GB per month you can't have much use for really fast downloads anyway as you can't download too much.

You forgot to mention monk they were minimum costs and services and costs may vary etc, etc, etc.....

Telstra is offering 12 MBS speeds with download variations from $80-$130 per month.

I suggest you stop drooling now.

If it costs more than $30-$40 a month just for the Net they can all forget it.... most people won't be able to afford it.
