Wed be looking for unlimited or at least 10GB for the right price. Ive looked around - but they all look like theyve gone up about $100 a month!! What have y'all got info on?	Lovelee (6586)

They used to be called rural link (old web site is still running (http:)) but have been re-branded. We connected through the home plan, and at first, the reception was a bit dodgy, but one day a man came over and moved our receiver, since then it has been (mostly) fine. The only times it cuts out now is usually just when there is a storm, but in the middle of January it cut out from about 1-3pm a couple of times on sunny, hot days. Other than that, the connection speed is consistent (when using the internet, we get 55 - 60 kilo bytes per secound, all day, every day (except when on slow servers :()), and the difference from dial up is amazing, would never dream of going back now!	davidmmac (4619)
