Becabops Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 hi We are just about to move into our new rental in Tapping. I have been trawling through the minefield o fBroadband packages and I cannot see a good value package. Is it possible to get unlimited downloads, telephone and TV package from one company? any advice greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic964 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I would suggest you look at what you really need. Unlimited boradband is nice, but with the copper network, speeds are not great, so that limits you more than capacity. We've got 200GB and don't get close, even though were on line everyday. Phones, we use mobiles, and avoided having a landline, its nice not to get any telesales calls here. Cant comment about TV, we couldnt justify Foxtel, and prefer to spend the money on DVD's etc. We have iinet basic package for around $70/month and thats been good, slow but good. Sorry I cant answer directly, but hope that helps a bit. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becabops Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi Nick, many thanks for the reply, a real help, I understand the no need for landline phone, will take your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbs Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Have a look at VividWireless. Uses the old 4G/WiMax phone network. Speeds are very location dependent, but good for a rental as you don't need a physical cable. Still get a phone number as a phone plugs into the Router. Get to keep your phone number when you move about, and unlimited downloads and free calls to the UK. I pay $89 a month. Then chuck in Foxtel at $130 a month.

verystormy Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 We just have a iPad and mobiles. Having experienced foxtel at work, I wouldn't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becabops Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Many thanks for all the advice. we have just signed a 12 month contract with VIVID. We got a gateway router for $79 + $10 delivery. The months costs are $79 with unlimited download and uploads. We do not get a phone line with this, but I think this is a good deal.

Bibbs Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 If you want a month free, PM me for my email address. We'd both get a month off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
