Assuming they're following that same setup (and that this isnt some sick joke - bit stoked about 160GB), should have it in a month or two.

1268099 2012-04-03 00:15:00 Be nice if they doubled the speed, not doubled the data cap. Halve the price of their over-charged plans if they really want to make an impact.

Not much point, for me, for example.

I'm on ADSL2+ as fast as my line and the equipment can allow. Without changing some technology there is no way to increase speed. Getting Annex M for up to 3Mbit upstream would be nice but I don't think the stuff here supports that.

I'm happy with more data. It's about time this country started getting something comparable to other places...

No point in doubling the speed without increasing the cap - otherwise you'll just hit your cap quicker!

1268102 2012-04-03 02:25:00 Wish they'd just give a discount.
They already doubled it once, and I still only use about 3GB a month.

So just downgrade the plan to match your usage - if there's a suitable option for cheaper of course. I'm sure many people will do this...

1268104 2012-04-03 02:46:00 Awesome. Nice one, telecom. :D

Now they just need to stop the ADSL at home from disconnecting twice a day...

1268105 2012-04-03 02:56:00 What modem have you got wratterus? If you have the Thomson POS 585 v7, ring and complain and get then to replace it with the new 582n. Made a huge difference at my place. johcar (6283)
1268106 2012-04-03 03:13:00 So how does this compare with the new Telstra plan which gives 80Gb for $75 still seems telecom are over charging compared to other companies. Still I can't complain our BB and phone are free but don't know for how much longer gary67 (56)
