looking for a new internet connection

i want to know whats the best deal you have found

for the record im in raymond terrace, newcastle (yes thats in nsw)

I shouldnt have to say this but don't link me to ******* google, i want real peoples opinions not made up crap by an advertising company

Razors a good company, get the megaloodon package its really fast and shiny.

should also point out i am on a budget say about 60 bucks a month and i dont want it bundled with a home phone.. because myself nor my girlfriend have no need, we just use our mobiles

www.tpg.com.au/products_services/ull_pricing.php

Naked DSL 200GB - No line rental.
Most other companies will only supply you with 30-50GB for $70 naked.

oi forest does that mean you have access to server rentals? if so, answer the damn support tickets noaw

oh and im with TPG

unlimited bandwidth for $59 a month.

Gamearena server rentals? I have a colleague who does, can give a call on Mondayyy if you wishes.

damn -.- friend of mine rented a server... yet server is out of date.. so he has asked for a refund lol.

and thats with telstra? sounds good

another question though: it is a new house and the phone line has not been connected yet, it is there its just not turned on?

im new to this so thanks for your patience

That's with TPG, I linked the plan above what I wrote.

There should be a line already installed (copper) which means you'll be able to access only ADSL/ADSL2, unless you're in a fibre optics area and they've install fibre to the home than you'll be able to get Cable/Velocity.

Is it a brand new home? Or are you just new to living in it.

oh wait the link popped up in your comment, sorry :/ i blame the wireless internet dongle that runs at dial up speed s

it is abrand new home, myself and my girlfriend are the only ones to have ver lived in it

the idiotic real estate tells us it will cost $300 to have the phone line connected, which will be reimbursed by check

but reimbursement could take up to 6 weeks, plaus the week it takes for the check to go through thats almost 2 months.

so if i dont have to deal with that shit than even better because i dont have 300 to throw into wind :/ like i said i am on a budget

Normally new properties are hooked up via copper to your house > line to the exchange. So how it sounds is that they haven't had a contractor out (Telstra/Subsidiary) to put the line into your house.

She's right with the connection charge it's $299 to hire out a Technician to do so. However it being a new home, if you're renting then they should pay for it, if you've purchased it, it can go either way they can pay or force you to pay.

You should maybe put a call through to Silcar (Telstra consultants that install new lines) on 1800 081 205, ask them cost to get a technician out, may end up cheaper.

They'll have to dig up a part of your front lawn in order to install it, and it will just be the one socket - your main home phone socket line, any extra's you want in the house will cost extra. - Example - Say you want one in a study room or a bedroom.

right, well if they are supposed to pay for it, does that mean they have to pay for it straight up, none of this reimbursement crap. we are renting btw

and no actually were the computer is set up the port in the wall is a few metres behind me next to the tv cabinent so its perfectly placed for my pc, server pc and consoles
