ADSL2+ with home phone in Cranbourne Vic.

Lnick111 on 05/09/2013 - 10:21

Hello all

I would like to get some advice on some affordable adsl2+ with a home phone plans in Cranbourne VIC. I have done a bit of research and most of the plans are costing around $80-$90 (plus call costs for landline)as Cranbourne is falling under Zone 2 or regional area.

Appreciate if anyone can share some information about any plans that are around $50 - $60 (including home phone rental).

I was looking for about 10-20GB of data. Prefer local landline calls to be free, low cost national and mobile calls would be a bonus.

Flexible with contract term, set up fees and modem.

I thought of just adsl2+ but i believe i would need an active phone line to get that service. Unfortunately naked dsl is not available in the area.

Thanks for any assistance.

      Hi there

      No unfortunately. They provide broadband off net plans which doesn't come with a home phone.

    Most regional plans will cost more. Have you considered Dodo?
    ADSL2+ $29.90 line rental + $44.90 for 20GB (5GB OnPeak / 15GB OffPeak)
    =$74.80 monthly plan on a 24 months contract.

    OR

    ADSL1.5 for $59.80 on same plan as above.

    If I refer you, you can get a $25 sign-up bonus. PM for the code.

      Hi there

      I did look at Dodo but thought 5 GB is quite low considering I will be paying $74.80 for 24 months.

      Thanks

    Great question! I am also living in Cranbourne and have not been very impressed with the phone/internet plans here either. We are not using a home phone at all. I am still using an old 3 (now Vodafone) plan that costs $20 per month (22c for 10 minute calls to landlines ANYWHERE in Aus). Included with the $20 minimum call spend is 300 minutes of free V to V calls, 100 sms and 1GB data. A home phone just cannot match that here; weird I know. Family all using Vodafone (one $10 plan also included on my bill with same call rate 22c/10 mins), and a prepaid Vodafone mobile with unlimited V to V calls on the International plan $20 per month. For internet we currently use Virgin wifi which is having some problems with upgrading of towers (Optus?) so wouldn't recommend them. $39 for 12GB, which we find quite sufficient for our needs at present. Until our landline call rates get lower I just cannot justify getting a home phone. One thing I can say is that if I have any problems with Vodafone they have been quick to deal with it; promptly credited any errors, even on our part. Good luck with your search; shall check back later to see how you get on.

      Hi JediJan

      Yeah it does not look promising to get a reasonable broadband bundle in cranbourne at this stage. Still trying to browse through every provider to find a good deal.

      Thanks
