I've been with Bigpond's NextG wireless for a year now. (After a happy stint with Westnet, it was always going to be difficult.) Bigpond's collection of monthly fees is excellent. Telephone support is a hassle, generally unsatisfactory. Bigpond's advertising and merchandising is a nuisance.

I did some comparisons earlier in the year and I couldn't do better than iinet's naked DSL plans. Free calls to any landline within australia, no line rental. $89 (30Gb peak+30Gb off peak) Their customer service and support has improved a great deal from last year when it was sub-optimal.

I have to agree with Paul, my internet needs are obviously a lot less than his. I can comfortably sit on the $50 plan. No line fees, no other phone costs. Very quick. Regards, Eugene On 14/10/2008, at 8:09 AM, Paul Doyle wrote: I did some

Hi, I've got a $50 per month plan which allows 20 hours per month on Telstra 3G(not Bigpond) - with unlimited downloads. This plan is not advertised widely I think. The faster Turbo modem allows video SKYPE to work beautifully. cheers, Susan. On 14/10/2008, at 8:34 AM, Eugene wrote: I

I agree with Peter. Stanza on the iPhone is a revelation compared to the Kindle which has so many disadvantages even if we had wireless connectivity for it here. The Kindle is huge, angular, the screen is black and white only and isn't backlit(!), and the device is really single purpose

Thanks to all for the answers re DVD sleeves/envelopes. Officeworks is close, so I went to them and got their envelopes - $11 for 100. But the Reject Shop ones would be cheaper at $4 / 100. David Noel / 2008 Oct 14 == Robert Howells [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am using some CD/DVD envelopes ,
