Broadband in Canberra

[MikeW]

Hi,

 

We're moving into our house rental in Curtin, Canberra on the weekend.

 

We have sorted gas and electric. Does anyone have any recommendations on broadband? We don't want to be tied in for longer than 6 months.

 

We are not planning on having a phone as we will be using skype and mobiles.

 

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike.

Hi Mike

 

Congrats on getting your house. At the moment we are using a Telstra mobile modem as we are waiting for our broadband in the house. we are down in Calwell and the connection is fine. All we did was go into a telstra shop - they will advise you if there are any contract conditions and if there is coverage in your area.

As Quoll says, I have heard good things about Internode so will call them. Just hope there's no 24 months tie in.
