Telstra is Greedy.

You pay an obscene amount of money for limited everything on Telstra, but on almost exactly the same plan on iPrimus, you pay 20-30 bux a month.

At my mums, she uses iPrimus and has 250gig downloads (cheap way of giving virtually unlimited downloads unless you are some kind of hyper internet eating monstrosity... No offense to those out there), fast speed (cannot remember) at $49 a month in a combined phone bill... But wait! There's more! ALL local calls are absolutely FREE.

NEVER... EVER go with Bigpond.

512kbits. Slow I know, but I have other sources for my digital needs.

Damn their monopoly. At your mums, speed is likely to be ADSL2+ (because of combined phone).

250GB may be virtually unlimited in Australia, but probably not in Korea, where a lot of people use the internet as a second television.

I wish I could use the net as a TV. I don't even get reception where I live.

Choose a different service provider?

There are many more than just BigPond or Zoo.

or... you could ask a really good friend that hates telstra and has a death wish to blow him/herself up at their main office... that usually works, except your friends' parent wont be too happy.

But it depends on your location... Telstra covers most of Australia including the outback very well....

Well, I don't know what the Internet is like over in Korea (I've never been there) but Australian Internet can be just awful at times; I mean, my connection at home can sometimes just grind to a absolute standstill (I mean, "takes several minutes to load a webpage" standstill).

It was no different when I try to play online games through it. Last time I played Warcraft III online, every time I told someone to do something it would take them a couple of seconds before they started doing it.:mad1:

Anyone else had a problem like that?

It's not, it's ADSL; it's really fast at times, and in others it just slows right down for some reason.:mad1:
