Thom Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 You're pretty limited for gas and electricity ACTEWAGL have it pretty much sewn up here. http://www.actewagl.com.au/ For broadband I highly recommend Internode. http://www.internode.on.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bazinga Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 We are in Dunlop and could only get Telstra. Depending on where you are might depend who you go with. Heard good things abt dodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish.01 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Enter your number into this site: http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/ Plenty of good advice on there about Australia's best ISP's/plans etc. For example see the "what our members use" lists down the right hand side and look in the extremely extensive forums.

Jurls Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Location is a big factor. I would check out availability of services in the location you are moving to. In fact, I would check out availability of services prior to signing any rental contracts but that's because I insist on having a relatively decent internet connection and on that basis there are certain suburbs I wouldn't move to. Whirlpool forum is also a good source of information. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pntaylor Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Went with iiNet myself with their Naked DSL option so we don't pay line rental for the phone and took out Bob2 rental which included a VOIP phone. Bob2 is essentially iiNet's proprietary ADSL modem and so far, so good. Our connection is good enough for their FetchTV service which is a mix of Free-to-Air and IPTV services so get quite a decent package. We get a 400GB cap with some services allowed for free like XBox Live, iTunes that don't count towards our cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pntaylor Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Are they all capped? Thats crap if so. Most providers cap, there are "unlimited" services like Dodo but I've not used them so not sure whether they're any good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
