[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 138016, member: 4430"] What the young fella says regarding ADSL may impact your options and performance via a bundled package, but generally speaking that seems to be the best bang for your buck. If you are limited to ADSL then this will impact the make download speed and if several are sharing at the same time, then this may impact each others performance. Several years ago I chose Optus for my home bundle as it represented good value at the time and still seems reasonable, as I get 120gb of data per month and my home phone service for $90/month. But as I have fibre access in the neighbourhood, my service is not as speed restricted as it would be under ADSL. But I don't need the 120gb/month and would rarely use more than 12-15gb, but at the time it seems a reasonable deal. Also if the family visits, then I am covered and am unlikely to exceed my monthly allowance. For mobile operation I too use a USB modem (Telstra 4G - prepaid) and it is much faster than my home service, but at an enormous cost versus what I get for it. I chose Telstra for this service as their mobile coverage was better than the others, but it still doesn't cover all the remote spots that you may go prospecting (like in WA or FNQ). Rob [/QUOTE]
