BigPond slows me again :-(
A big month of traffic has pushed me over my 10gb monthly limit on my cable account. My traffic is now shaped to 64kpbs, which is sure to cause me some issues!
Interestingly enough, recently BigPond has released a Wireless account (quite expensive) which will give me internet where-ever I am, work/home/friends place/car/cafe. It also differs back to CDMA for country access. Accounts are about $50 a month with only 200mb downloads. You can get 1000mb downloads from $79.95.
Hopefully though there will be more activity from resellers of iBurst and the like to help us get onto the Wireless Broadband wagon. I don’t want to pay for a cable to be installed in my appartment, and I don’t want to pay for a phone line for ADSL/2.
I have noticed my BigPond connection has been dropping more than usual.
Talking about new services have you checked out that new “Soul” ISP Cam? Supposedly 100% Australian owned, unfortunately there plans are pretty low at the moment i.e. 5 Gb. If, or should I say “when” Telstra become privatised I think i’ll be looking at something like Soul. Bugger sending more jobs and money overseas…
