I love the way that if you don't use your download limit then bad luck, but as soon as you go over they throttle your speed or sting you with fees...

Their all the same basically, don't know the meaning of customer service, they would be right up there with real estate agents on the unpopular list...

it's a contract dude, no one is forcing u to join it. take it or leave it.
in life u pay for what u get. if u don't use it, no one will offer u a fkn refund (read that bit again). if you want to dl more, then pay more? it's pretty simple.

I've seen Telstra billing fuck ups like this, but you need to get your story straight son. Either you were using it and they overbilled you like crazy, in which case you should read the fine print further in future, or you weren't using it and they billed you due to an accounting fuck up, in which case you shouldn't have paid two red cents.

I despise Telstra services, probably twice as much as the next guy as I get to enjoy their fuck ups on far more levels than the average Joe, but c'mon, just get your story right buddy.

Short answer, no single ISP in Australia today offers real, unlimited broadband. Maybe in another five or six years... maybe, but doubtful.

Call Telstra and apparently once you hit the 10g limit they slow you to 56k (dial up speed). Unbelievable. Anyone tried surfing at 56k lately? Its painful.
I think most of ISP need to go back to prep school and learn the definition of the word, "Unlimited". Don't think any ISP actually provides the true meaning of unlimited download.

I'm using iinet with unlimited 256 and when I exceed the limit, the speed drops to maybe 7kb/s or something. Basically in short, I can't surf for shit !

Im with Amnet $47.50 for 8Mbit/1Mbit 10GB Limit 96Kbit Throttle after 10GB. But they dont cap me. So I am effetively on Unlimited 8Mbit for less than $50 per month.

It kicks ass... but, I have run out of Ideas on what to download. (Dont say Porn). I have already filled up 1.5TeraBytes of HDD Space

iinet has the worst customer service i have ever come across in my entire life. even the dumb f*ks in indonesia where i'm from are better. takes a good 40-45 minutes for someone to answer your call when you call their support number, and the guy answering the phone doesn't know anything, and transfers you over to someone else which takes god knows how long. i hung up after 10 mins.
