We have nettage.
I now have a 1.5Mb unlimited DL ADSL connection. Someone give me something nifty and large (100MB-1GB) on a fast server so I can test its legs. (my 1.6MB antivirus update took around 5secs to DL)

Lucky h0rs. Can I ask who you're with and what plan you're on? I'd like my internet be faster.

sure, we're with OzForces on the 1.5-A plan ($89.95/month)

What are your thoughts on the TPG Premium 1500 plan? We're thinking of upgrading ours, and you're very knowledable in this field of stuff.

depends on how much you download ... 1.5Mb work out to rough download speeds of 135KB/s or around a meg per minute at that rate, it's easy to hit 25GB in a month ant thus drag your net connection into the stone-age ... I've been known to do over 20 gig on a 512k connection, that's why I'm shelling out the extra 5 bucks a week for a truly unlimited connection

We don't get that much. Usually, our biggest download in a week in the 350Mb Atlantis episode that's just aired (which is currently plodding along at 26KB/s). Other than that, occasional songs, and assorted sundries.

[ellandar]

in that case, save yourself that $20/month and go with TPG Broadband Choice doesn't seem to have anything bad to say about their network/service/support

Sweet as - thanks :)

I love having geeky friends. It's the awesomest!
