10GB, 50GB etc is how much you can download per month and as Mono said can include your uploads..ie when youre downloading a movie with bittorent it also shares(uploads) what yoive downloaded sp far of tjat file to other people downloading. Unlimites obviously means there are no limits on downloads. An average unlimites ADSL2+ plan with TPG will set you bavk about $50 a month.baristaa wrote:How exactly does broadband work? Like i know its fast and all that stuff. But when they say you get 10gb broadband what does that mean? does it mean you can download 10gb worth of stuff or what? I only have dial up and am thinking of switching to broadband.
If all you do is surf the web email facebook amd a few youtube videos 20-50gb is ample.
If you download tv shows and movies, or plan to Id advise more data allowance..50gb may be plenty..but then you'll discover you can download entire seasons, even entire series and they can range anywhere from 1-2gb to 30+ gb. Depends how well you can control your self.
Telstra also offer ADSL2+ with a guaranteed minimum speed but Im not sure if thats fpr all AFSL2+ plans or if its only in selected areas.
If you can get.cable internet and can afford it get it. Only Telstra offer it in some areas, and I think Optus maybe.
We probably wont have a decent NBN before the next election or the one after that and the ome after...
Think about what you need tge Internet for before making a decision and what you are likwly to use it for especially since youll be on a faster connection and more things will be easily accessible(ie load faster). That way you womt get conned into some bundled.plan you dont need for 2 years.
Also do not sign up to anything from door to door sales people claiming to be from Telstra or anywhere else.
They operate independently of Telsra and Optus as resellers and will try screw you as hard.as they can. I had a few friends who I fix their pcs for who fell for it and when they ran into problems with their mobiles, home.phones etc they called Optus and.Optus basically said we cant help ypu bevause you didmt sign up directly. Lets just say one bloke who sold the services to one mate of mine fled for his life back to Mumbai before my mate got hold.of him.
