I always have a laugh when I hear people offering the view that BB in Australia is too expensive as we get internet access for ridiculously cheap prices. The reason that the pricing is going up is because the ISP's have realised that the prices they were offering wasn't enough to run a business on.

The other ISP's will follow, don't worry about that...

As for bundling if you choose to bundle VoIP with iiNet, then you can reduce your telstra line rental to $19.95 per month and then use your VoIP line to make calls...then you pay the equivilent of the standard telstra line rental of $30 per month and get the benefit of making seriously cheap phone calls.

Hey all

I know we had the talk a few days ago about broadband and I was chasing
everyones opinions, carrier and which plan they were on.

I'm moving up to Bertram (Around Kwinana, Rockingham etc) and need some ADSL
broadband so I'm chasing ideas and thoughts!

I'm currently with Westnet on their 512 14/14 plan but the price is going up and the download is coming down. Very expensive and they are insisting on the phone being bundled. Not impressed, love the service but the prices are going too high. I know Telstra's wholesale prices are the key factor in the
price rises but hey, Helstra don't run this country? Do they?

I've been looking into 512kb with Internode which seems decent, I looked into iiNet but to pay $50 for only 512/128 with a maximum of 2GB quota give
me a break!

Thanks, David Moyle
