  is the performance of your current tpg service ok? if so stick with them. get the $59.99/month unlimited rather than the $69.99/month. their phone charges are expensive compared to voip.

  I was on Unlimited TPG ADSL2+ with 24000kbps sync speed and easily download at 2500KB/s from the right sources.

  Downgraded my plan to 25GBpeak/25GB off peak through a period of low usage. My usage ramped up and I have discovered TPG are simply not shaping my connection when I exceed the quota. Doing 250GB+ month now. Maybe check for yourself…

  Thanks for the comments guys.

  Matt when you say phone charges are expensive don't you get free local & National calls on the $69.99 plan ?

  We currently pay about $40.00 for line rental to Telstra so I thought that unlimited data with phone bundle of $69.99 was OK (we need a phone cannot only us VOIP)

  Please correct me if I am missing something

  Thanks Again for

    certainly consolidating the phone rental in to thet adsl rental will save a heap of money. as for whether you want to spend $59.99/m for no free calls or $69.99/m unlimited landline/13 calls will depend on your needs.

    also, a minor point is that tpg's phone service is not a full phone service and you have to waive your csg rights when you sign up.

  im with TPG unlimited plan and no complain so far

  Also with TPG unlimited and have found no reason to change at all. I don't have calls included but I have set up VOIP so I don't pay for phone calls through them anyway

  Thanks Matt,

  I think I can risk the phone regarding csg rights. If the phone goes down I don't really care about compensation just getting it going again, always have mobiles as a backup

  Thanks for your great advice

    He asked for unlimited. 500 GB may not be enough for him (it's not for me, otherwise I'd be more likely to get Telstra cable for faster speeds). I have the $59.99 unlimited + home phone plan with TPG and it's fine.

      Yeah I know. But this is OzB and it's a $120/yr saving and 500GB might be enough compared to their current 50GB.

  Fair enough. I forgot I was in OzB for a moment :)

  I am on TPG unlimited with no phone and love it. Had no issues with them speed or service. I have no phone because I have a decent mobile plan and just use that.

  With TPG for years with few problems - and those line/weather related and occurring when a friend some 5 miles away was also experiencing them with a different provider. I went for the phone bundle as, although it is a VOIP service, you can still phone it from time to time to put a wetting current down the line to blow off cockroaches. The phone is also handy as a check, as the 'Net dropped yesterday, and I was able to quickly check the noise on the line, which saved a bit of time fluffing around swapping out modems. [ Storm weather here, first real downtime in 3 years, line sounds like a cat eating potato crips, TPG help called back when I accidently dropped mobile call and arranged Telstra tech fairly quickly].
