olikowalewski Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi just a quick one Can anyone in Sydney or in particular the Sutherland shire area recommend a broadband provider? There's so many to choose from, I don't know who to go with! I know the internet isn't the best in Sydney, feeling we were a bit spoilt in the UK, but I don't want to sign up to a contract if they are really badAny help would be greatly appreciated!If it helps, it's just me and the mrs, and it would mostly be used for streaming movies and music...thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Can you get NBN? If it's broadband then they all use Telstra so although it's more expensive BigPond are usually the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olikowalewski Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 No can't get nbn unfortunately, apparently adsl is all that's available hereSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We're in Sutherland Shire and use Telstra. We don't get very good TV reception where we are for some reason, so we use it to stream Netflix, iTunes movies/TV etc and don't often have any trouble. We are one of the furthest suburbs from the exchange, so if you happen to be closer it would probably be much quicker. Having said that, that is only my experience with it. Are you a member of the 'Everything Sutherland Shire' Facebook page? You could ask on there to see if anyone in your actual suburb could suggest a provider. I think that some of the suburbs in Sutherland Shire are getting NBN from next year. I'm sure I read something about it the other week.

LKC Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 There are a couple of local groups. The other one is 'Everybody's Sutherland Shire', which is smaller but perhaps a bit friendlier than the other. Otherwise there may well be even more local ones, for example there is a Heathcote/Engadine group, and also a 'Sutherland Shire Buy Sell Swap' group.

olikowalewski Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Brilliant thanks for the help we are in Miranda sure if that's closer to the exchange than you?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes, I think the exchange is in Miranda, so you couldn't be much closer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olikowalewski Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Aha! I'm happy with that then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I used TPG for 6 years, never an issue. Unlimited downloads for $60pm and price has remained the same in all that tme. I was in Balmain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
