I always maintain that the cost of a ADSL router/modem is a very small part of the total deal of several years service you usually get out of a ISP - don't let it sway your opinion!!

511459 2007-01-01 08:55:00 Reword, In April 2007, if its optional for you to have a landline such as if you have Telstra cable or Woosh wireless, you can cancal that phone line and keep the number when you go on VOIP. You can also cancel Telecom and go to Telstra Phone and keep the phone number, the same applies to cellphone but don't take my word for it, but I doubt it for cellular.

If you are on ADSL the phoneline will still be compulsory even if you don't use it but it may be changing however slowly.

511461 2007-01-02 02:06:00 So it seems like Xnet is a provider that I should be seriously considering ;)! zahmad (8963)
511462 2007-01-02 02:27:00 Yes I just looked at xNets plans, and they look great!
Also note this feature: free dial up when you are not @ home (yes dialup is crappy but it could come in handy...) :)

511463 2007-01-02 02:47:00 Ah .. yes you get a dialup account as well when BB is down.
10MB for web space and 100MB for email.
I just dropped mine to 6GB as I don't use much. Last week I did 1.4GB which 1GB was demo's :D 6GB for FS/128k puts me to $39.95 which if I don't use 6GB they won't even bill me all that $39.95.

When you connect let's say you had 3 weeks of January. If you are on a River Plan FS/128k that is $33.95 (I think) they will charge you 3/4 of that and then the GB or MB you use. If you use 1GB exact, the bill be around 75% of $33.95 and the 1GB which is around $1.

I just joined Xnet last week, had it for like 10 days. :)
