| 141403 | 2003-05-05 00:19:00 | i have xtra's adsl but have to change to cable and want to know who is best cable or adsl. | BootyLicious (526) | ||
| 141404 | 2003-05-05 00:31:00 | Why do you HAVE to change to Cable? Im not too much of an expert on either, but I know that Cable comes at least at 128Kbps, and has a Fixed IP address, which is good for hosting Websites etc. unless you get a no-ip.com account.. but that's deviating off track. Both are relatively similar... I dont think that Cable is available in as many places as DSL is though. I think Cable is slightly more expensive, by a few bucks a month... could be wrong. What are you using it for? Just browsing? Emails? Or do you plan on hosting a DNS server or the likes ;-) |

| 141406 | 2003-05-05 00:50:00 | Im pretty sure most JetStream Starter ISP's are upping the bandwidth to 256K soon too. Good point with the pricing, I cant think of anything else sorry.. but Clueless might be able to offer advice, as he also uses Cable :-) |

| 141408 | 2003-05-05 03:00:00 | Are you serious? 256kbs? Sweet! You better be right ^_^. Sorry but we are getting adsl in about 1 - 2 days :P | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 141409 | 2003-05-05 03:38:00 | I hope you are correct about that chill, 128 sucks :( I use to be on 256(I think) before they change the names (Jet Start too JetStream Starter) & put this cap on(10GB) |

| 141410 | 2003-05-05 04:14:00 | 128k whats the point. i hope 256k is coming. i also read that broadband internet is not catching up to world trends of the developed nations. thus they were crticised that price was a factor why many pple stayed wif modem. maybe they can drop the prices too :D for our usages 256k would be the minimum if i were ever to consider it. |

| 141411 | 2003-05-05 08:09:00 | If you're needing to run a server I'd recommend cable as you're actually allowed to run servers and get a fixed IP. I've also heard reports that it is more reliable than DSL. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 141412 | 2003-05-05 09:11:00 | Hi Cable used to have a 128 option but axed it earlier this year with a resultant price increase for the service, of course. If/when Xtra do the same the price will go up comparatively. I have the Saturn TV/Sky TV/Telstra line option but chose to not go with the cable bundle and instead opted for the Paradise Jetstart 128K 10GB cap because I didn't like the 256K 5GB capped + $17-/mth on top to lease their modem (compulsory), they do that to manage the settings and connections. So now I have one Testra Saturn line and one Telecom one and the cable within .5m of my home office if I want to change. Still not sure if I did the right thing tho. People I have talked to swear by cable. Cheers Murray P |
