Hi Everyone
I must admit (sheepishly) that I have Bigpond Broadband ADSL.
Yes, it is expensive, but I was able to cancel one of our office phone
lines by having it. As well, by having all plans, ie. mobile,
landline, long distance calls etc. with Telstra, I get 15% off all
bills. So pricing should be considered as a package.
As well as competitive prices on most things. If there is a better plan
for your business, they will ring you and give
you the cheaper price, even if your old plan has not expired.
No dial up cost, almost never a denial of service in 2 years,
Reasonable 24 x 7 help line (they are not all Mac
literate but they usually can find someone on duty who can answer my
dumb questions).
I have used a Macintosh PM 6200, 64 Meg RAM OS 8.6 with ADSL
(sl----ow). But now use G4 400 MHz (PCI graphics), 128 Meg RAM,
OS10.3.2,
10 Gig & 20 Gig internal HD's, SCSI card, Netgear RP 614 Router,
Alcatel Speed Touch ADSL Modem through built in Ethernet.
I don't have many issues with this service. It just works, which is
more than I can say for some things on my Macs.
If there are any questions that you have, please feel free to contact
me.

Works is a contradiction in terms).

Generally, the WAMUG list is not a good place to get advice about
Bigpond ADSL or cable because not many members are on Bigpond
broadband.
That statement on it's own should throw up a big red flag!
- Matt
It is also a reflection that not many members -
*can afford broadband
*live in locations where cable is available
*have current experience of Bigpond ADSL and are referring to its
previous bad history (which was then justified).
