No net makes Paul go somethingsomething…
While the apartment we have moved into is fantastic, the lack of a net connection isn't so great. Both of us are going crazy, its just simple things like "What's the number for the dentist?" that trip us up. At least today (19/12) we got a phonebook from the post office.
The Good
- The exchange is only 500m away
- The apartment/complex is capable of ADSL
- There are several ISP's in the exchange with their own DSLAM for ADSL2/+
The Bad
- Optus DSLAM is out of ports, meaning no Exetel, Netspace, or a few others that had good value plans (we were knocked back already)
- Only ADSL2+ providers in the area are out of our price range/poor value/money.
- This means..ugh..line rental
The Ugly (Reality)
- We'll go for 1.5mbit connection through Exetel (TELJ plan). It has a good amount of quota, for a pretty low price.
- Natalie had been already been using that plan at her parents place, so we'll just move locations….there is a $100 'moving-inside-contract' fee if we do it sooner than 25/12 (Christmas day), so we're toughing it out without the 'net.
