INASNT I live in Berwick and have IINET ADSL 512kbit, 20gig per month for $79.95 per month (not bad at all, good pings as well)

My mate lives in Narre Warren Sth and has Internode 1500mbit unlimited and swears by it, he used to work for Connect in melbourne and knows his sh%t, Senior Tech. He reckons the network is heaps better as well.

A few estates around this area have Optarse cable but not many

[Guest INASNT]

sweet!

thanks for the info denton

[funkymonkey]

optarse is ghey... internode's alright but dart is the bomb.

That house looks exactly like one that my mate lives in (down tot he bar n billiards table) in Dingley Village. I'm guessing it was a predesigned style or sumfin?

[Guest INASNT]

the house aint new, its 3 years old so i guess there will be other similiar design to it around the new areas

[meggala]

looks great inasnt a big house is really good

[Guest INASNT]

Ok i am finially moving at the end of this week.

What modems and filters do you guys recommend for a 512 asdl connection?

[funkymonkey]

anything except an NB1300 or NB1200, stick to D-Link for most things like filters etc, or if you can get your hands on an ASUS hub/modem.

At 512 you won't notice any difference in the equipment you use, only if you start goin to higher speeds. (I've got 512 and tried about 4 different modems with and without routers)

[cooks44]

Stick with D-Link, good price for a decent enough product. Something like a DSL-504 $254.17 (if you've got multiple computers) or a DSL-200 $132.09 for a single connection. Check www.instantit.com.au.

Any type of filter is fine, as long as it's for ADSL. InstantIT is quoting $14.00 for a filter, I'm sure I got them cheaper than that...

I'll have to put in a plug for Internode as well... They've got great service, excellent network speed/pings albeit for a couple of dollars extra than the cheapest of providers (you do get what you pay for in the broadband arena). There must be an echo in here (Whirlpool is your friend!) - they just completed their survey too which gives a pretty good breakdown of the current broadband scene.

[Guest INASNT]

I had a look at whirlpool and did the comparision thing and might be going with dart premium 2000 plan with the dsl 302G. Or should i spend more and get the 504?

Also how long before they can setup the account and have me on the net?

[funkymonkey]

504! 504! usual turnaround time for telstra provisioning team is about a week

not necessarily some larger ISP have boxes at exchanges in metro areas and use this. There's even an ISP in rural adelaide offering ADSL where testra don't by setting up secondhand US boxes (since the US has a shiteload of ADSL and is years ahead of us)

... most of the problems with telstra are their ****ed up authentication and mail servers. While most resell the Telstra bottom layer, there are quite a few out there that have their own servers. THOSE are the ISP you wanna go for. I had ADSL on telstra for like a year and it was constantly ****ed up, couldn't log in, servers were down, ****ing rubbish. THEN after that I switched to Netspace.. not a problem, 10 times better.. and when i switched to my router setup permanently connected it had like an up-time of 3 months! 3 months ON permannetly conneted. Telstra could never match that with their servers.

It depends whether the ISP is a layer2 provider or whatever, most still use the bandwidth of Telstra, but the rest of the system is their own..

anyhow...www.whirlpool.net.au - u can learn everything u ever want to know there..

[Guest INASNT]

Whats involved in the setup?

Do they send you the modem and account details and you install it yourself?

[predator]

With the "self install" yeah.. it's a doddle to install. .plug modem into filter and then phone line, run the install cd, enter account details and done

If you want to get fancy and have laptops or whatever, you might be best off buying a wireless router or wirelesss router/dsl modem of your own - that way you can just wireless throughout the house to get on the net.

[SmoothLine]

:werd: wireless is a must for any home, especially if you use a laptop for work.

[Guest INASNT]

fark wireless. I use a laptop for work but i rarely take the laptop home with me.

[predator]

yeah, but imagine being able to beam stuff straight from your PC to your xbox and through your stereo to stream mp3, wma tracks, downloaded movies and whatever else on demand 3 rooms away Putting a CD phsyically into a CD player is so passe' man

You don't want messy cables running around
