how much upload are you doing?
im on the 150gb optus plan and only uploaded 4gb so far this month with 65/55gb downloaded
Depends if your sharing or leeching ;)
Uploads won't count for squat unless you share alot of BT. But who uses BT when you can pair this up with unlimited Usenet for some major leeching.
TPG doesn't need any more customers… the contention rate is becoming bad for gaming in my area! bad pings and reduced true bandwidth
sofa
so tempted….but….nah…who needs 500gb…probably suit the massive leechers and hoarders among us net users.
dayum, for most people it's not easy to do 350g consistently month after month on 5hrs a day even if it counts uploads (more like 300g including uploads of actual data after overheads and dodgy counting)
good for a house with 5-6 people sharing internet
right, they always have a lot of things to download..
"Super Fast"??? Dont agree with that. My TPG ADSL2+ is super SLOW.
it depends on how far you are from the nearest exchange….don't worry…soon we'll have fibre to the home and it'll be asif you live right next to the exchange. :P
ofcourse your broadband costs will double….
my one is not stable, like period, come few days a month~~
For Sydney users, I would say ADSL2+ Unlimited 24x7 is better than this one.
AAPT can supply unlimited to any house in Australia, but TPG can only to Sydney, sounds like they dont have such a big network after all.
I think it has more to do with the competition than network. There's no point in giving people more if there's no competition. AAPT unlimited is restricted to 8pm-8am. TPG unlimited is 24/7. They might has the same name but they are very different products.
you need to look again AAPT's is 24/7
Also depends if Telstra is in a nice mood to give them more space in their Exchanges for their equipment (otherwise they are restricted in getting more customers). Great for fair competition in Australia hey?! ;-)
Thats quite a cheap deal, doesnt matter if it counts upload unless you are seeding a load of torrents.
500GB is very generous, so is the shaping! I am so sad i am stuck with my Optus Fusion Plan (20GB +phone calls etc).You might want to contact Optus about that. They have had new deals for a few months that are very good value. I changed from 20/40 to 75/75 (up counted) for $59 a month. I'm pretty sure your contract will just be shoved over to the new deal. More info here.

BTW. This does sound like an impressive deal, but I would be worried about contention at the ISP end.
Thanks bud! Just upgraded from grandfather 12/24 plan
If you can stick with Optus with an improved deal why not? I was with Optus previously and I made the mistake of churning to TPG. I find TPG's level of service inconsistent, with some days/time of the day getting really bad latency, download bandwidth etc and some days are good.
The only bad about Optus is it's normally higher price vs quota and poor phone customer service.
how is option 4 in the flash different
unlimited business $59.
oh, 1mbs after 7pm.
Wow. Just Wow. That's an awesome price.
The only problem I can see is that off-peak is only 3:30am-8:30am. So if you are like me and don't get the fastest speeds, than you may not get to use the full 350GB off peak. But than again, you still have a full 150GB on peak, with 1mbps shaping.
Just wow :)
Be careful, uploads are counted!
6Consists of peak (8:30am - 3:30am) and off peak (3:30am - 8:30am) monthly usage quota. Speed will be shaped to 1Mbps/1Mbps for the period in which the monthly usage quota has been exceeded (peak and/or off peak). Download and Upload counted.So warning people that this plan has uploads counted now consists as negative?
so they're heavily counting on the night owls to soak up any remaining bandwidth in the wee hours huh? 3.30am is way too late for off peak, and you only get 5 hr/day compared to 12hr for most to rack up that 350gb, based on a 30 day month you would have to transfer about 2.3GB every off peak hour all month, but i suppose that's the trade off
I don't think many would stay up to use it….most people just schedule there downloads (utorrent, jdownloader etc….) to switch automatically each night.
schedule in jdownloader or seperate prog?
I scehdule in downloader….it has its own scheduler.
I downloaded 3TB last month on unlimited TPG.
so cooool
Lots of 720p and 1080p stuff I gather?
Yes. 1080p stuff. :) Good on a large TV :D
porn more likely
How many hdds do you have lol
10 all on the one motherboard :D
none in expansion cards.
Wow, TPG is also helping the HDD manufacturers lol (unless you're streaming?).
lol, they should add, sign up for 24 month and get free router AND 1TB NAS
and how mmuch did u spend on 3tb of hdd space?
its pretty cheap at the moment, but i guess what your getting at if you add the price of the hard drives to the Internet costs it goes up quite a bit…but hdd space is reusable..
PS. Your mother rang… ;-)
3000GB in a Month, thatz 100GB per Day or approx 4GB per hour………1.10MBPS……..WOW!!!
Are you in Australia………?
I guess you download through rapidshare?
Torrents.
I tried to download but the max speed i get is 10Kbps. Even then the seed no is about 80 and Leech no is 300……..still couldn't reach more than 10Kbps
Wow! Do you have a SAN at home to cater to all these terabytes of data per month?
Yea I do I have 15TB of storage with more to come ;)
What's with the off peak hours … would be much better to go with unlimited plan IMO
Whats with the Sydney-only love? Where's the love for Melbourne and Brisbane and Perth and Adelaide!
Sydney > *
In exchange for miserable traffic we get good ADSL plans :)
Its a trade off I guess. Anyway, I'm in Melbourne I read in the Age that Sydney trumped Melbourne as the most live-able city in Australia. Sydney is 10th in the world and Melbourne is 18th. I was like 'pffft' when I read the article but after reading this post, I'm :(
Their premier is much more attractive than ours too! It's those little things that are important :-( I'm just sad because TPG can't take any new connections at my Melb exchange.
Yeah and Auckland was rated higher than Sydney, asif.
The study was done based on some random living condition that did not factor in oportunities to earn a livable wage and things to do and entertain. Like come on Geneva was ranked first or something, it's like Canbera, the only good thing about Geneva are "cheap flights to london" (quote SMH)@Trance N Dance: And what's wrong with Canberra? All the amenities of a big city with small town traffic.
Yeah. What can you do when the road is bumper to bumper outside? Downloading on the Internet!
Ahem, Australia's CAPITAL city anyone?
What's the speed and stability of the service like? How well does support deal with issues? Any hidden caveats and catches?
The last Whirlpool broadband survey suggests pretty poor reliability and customer service (but a big thumbs up for pricing).
Some people still only have 160GB or 250GB HDDs so it would be quite a lot of download to chew through and then store. Awesome deal though.
good grief can they sell anymore of the already slow network???
I am just about ready to move to someone else, been with TPG for 2 years and its been good at the start but the last 10 months its been shocking, everytime they sell more deals the speed gets worse and worse. I cant even browse at th emoment its just useless.
No problems with speeds here in Syd…..easily max out my connection with Rapidshare Premium at 1.8MB/s …. any time of the day.
Now just to wait for this deal to be offered to Naked ADSL Customers.
At least in Brisbane speeds are fast, pings are great, nothing more you could ask for.
The people that do have problems often have problems with their modem or phone line
For those who up more than 50GB a month, the old 130GB (uploads not counted) for $49.95 is still available.
too bad is not naked….
Whats the point of downloading so much stuff each month you won't have time to watch even 10% of it if you are downloading 3Tb a month. Funny thing is that these guys think it's cool to download this much stuff just for the sake of it. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Actually recent research shows a direct link between "coolness" and "amount downloaded". Who would have thought?!
Just because you don't download that much doesn't mean that other people don't. They have their own reasons.
To the people who are making a big deal about uploads, YOU ARE STUPID. What's 10gb of uploads when you have 140gb to download?3TB a month tho? Sorry but any1 downloading that much stuff month in and month out needs to ask themselves why. Buying storage space just so you can download more stuff that you will most likely never even use. Sure its up to them what they do but Im just pointing out how futile it is.
understand but still, i think its cool…
movie server… multiple people in the house or sharing to a large amount of people in the local area…. high definition… i doubt the 3TB will be sustained.
I am very jealous. I want TPG to enable my exchange now :) I am still stuck with the $79 25GB, 8000kbps in this day and age which is expensive and not enough, is that clear??? TPG!!!
I only did that much the first month. Just to test it out.
I'm sync'ed at 22Mbit/1Mbit and always get 1.8-2.0 MB/s download (so pretty much my max speed).This month so far in 3 weeks Ive only downloaded 1.3TB. hehe
You get over it after a while.
You mean you run out of hard drive space very quickly. ;)
No, forget the hard drive space, you run of things that you want to watch if you go at 3TB/mth.
woot another New plan by TPG :D
Because of this plan, I churned from iiNet today!!! (Which I had been using since 2003)
good stuff iinet is a rip off ISP
not totally true, there service and ratios are better than TPG, its just that TPG is extreamly cheap… IINET also has a law suit to pay for dont you know… if it werent for iinet standing up to the big movie studios we'd already have everything we download monitored to the n'th level!
its finally here, would upgrade but way exceeds my needs, 130gb plan is good for me, up u go TPG!
way too much - don't have the time to do all the downloads
click click and load and it auto downloads. ;)
How on earth does one download 500gb in a month??
I remember the days of the humble 200mb/month ADSL.
500gb a month boggles you? Turd went 3TB/mth as a test phase. It's scary to imagine the quota he'll meet if he's on a mission.
I must be a n00b to this interweb thingy. Only did 4GB last month, upload included! 500GB?! Gee…
How do you manage to beam someone up at only 4GB a month? :P
Just some quantum computing and compression algorithm at warp10.
What's the deal with everyone complaining about counting uploads for a 500GB plan?
Let's say you upload 24 hours a day @100kB/s, for 30 days. that's 250-260GB uploaded.
You have another 240-250GB to use on download?
And then how many of us upload 24 hours a day, for 30 days..And then how many of us upload 24 hours a day, for 30 days..
ddxsamx, you have described a personality trait of our friendly, well-known and supportive "seeders" of the internet community.
God bless them!
Haha, that wasn't really the point of my post but okay. xD
With a measly 1mbps upload. :D
Not really true. Most of that upload will be in peak time.
So really you would be trying to upload 200GB in peak time and as such be over your limit and capped at 1Mb.
the problem is that its a move to support closer counting of data when we should be moving away from counting data at all, move towards unlimited plans!
I agree, people dont realise that most of your u/ling will be done in peak time since thats about 19 hours of each day…. That would mean your peak time amount will get capped way before the month was up.
I know most of the upload will be in peak, but then you still have another 250GB of pure download to use? Still spells out to be more than the 70/60 plan guys..
And then when you're capped before the month is up you still have 19hours a day to download at 1mbps? lol.
nah dude, the problem as i see it is, you only get 150gb of data during peak time. IF you were seeding / uploading during peak time, you will use that amount up very quickly and thats without even including any d\ls / surfing you do during peak time….In other words peak will only be used for u/l and all your d\ls will have to be done in off peak. Even still your peak ratio will get capped at which point it will 1mpbs, which is not bad but to me it will feel like i am just getting a 1mps connection since i will only be awake / do my browsing during peak times.
If you dont u/l or seed totally different story. And very worthwhile for you, but i find it annoying enough keeping track of my d\ls, i would hate having to keep track of my u/ls as well. Trust me you can u/l alot if you do seed. Saying all that, its irrelevant for me since i am on TPGs unlimited plan.
