Off-Net Internet Options

lickjimmy1 on 07/06/2018 - 08:39

Hi All,

I live in Camden (outskirts of Sydney), and I am one of the only houses in our suburb that doesn't have NBN, and it doesnt look like it will anytime soon.

I am therefore 'stuck' with adsl 2+ (off-net / telstra wholesalers), but currently paying $65 (dodo unlimited) and $27-ish for the phone line through telstra (that isnt even plugged in) so wondering if there is better options? I have tried searching here and on adsl2exchanges but nothing really pops up.

What isps offer off-net and anyone know of any reasonable deals? or sites that will actually compare the offers? (I know i am going to get ripped either way, but hoping not as bad as I am currently)

Cheers

Internet

    What is the speed of your ADSL now and what do you use it for?

    There are providers that offer wireless internet that might meet your needs.

      Just did a speed test (11.4mb down and .89mb up). That was mid week , middle of the day though. It can get pretty bad at 7pm

      Mainly using it to stream, occasional download and browse.. not much gaming these days …

      My house also doesnt have great reception - vodafone is actually the best , so guessing this would effect the wireless performance?

        depends on the providers and type of technology they are using.
        Optus & Vivid rely on mobile broadbands

        Other suppliers like hyperwave, unity and lightening broadband use other technologies.

        Might be worth googling wireless broadband and seeing which supplier covers your areas.

          do you know if adsl speed affected by peak hrs usage ?

          surely no ? as there ain't CVC whatever bandwidth capping ?
