Hi all,

Just got quick questions. I currently live in hurstville NSW and at the moment using "ADSL 2+ 150GB $40/m". My monthly home phone line rental + bill is approximately $20/m. I find myself always exceeding my 150GB limit. Should I change to the
"ADSL2+ $60/M Unlimited + Home Phone" plan?

it sounds too good to be true, anyone know anymore hidden costs? (ps I know there is a $100 transfer cost from existing ADSL2+ plan customers to ADSL2+ + home phone plan but any other?).
Im also really confused because it says on the website the $60/m bundle is only available to new custoemrs. Im existing customer so how come it lets me transfer? Does this mean I should make a new account and start fresh?

Thanks

    Yeah, faxes and alarm systems might not work properly. That's about it.

    Also, sometimes people calling you will hear a "network is temporarily congested, … this is a free call". They can just call again and after 2-3 minutes it will usually have capacity.

    Also, it's actually a voip line, but the voip is converted at the DSLAM.

    I've had the plan for years without any issues. It is as described, and on the internet side there are no hidden catches.

    As we never use the home phone, I can't comment on that aspect.

    Two of my stepchildren live in South Hurstville. Both are with TPG and they experience no problems. They hardly ever make landline calls. When I am there, I download lots of movies and TV shows without any difficulty.

    how much are you going to spend on the phone calls tho ? more than 10$ a month ?
    if so , might consider just bumping up to the 50$ for 500 gbs + your current phone plan, saves you 100$
    unless you are gonna go over 500gbs and really need unlimited, i have yet to go over 500gbs in 2-3 years, generally do 250-400 myself.

    i think the catch with this plan is that it has no included calls , im not sure, and that 100$ initial cost needs to be taken into account.

    it is a ULL service so there is some down-time involved (2-3 weeks?) while the switch over takes place. you also need to waive your CSG when you sign up. also you need to consider any contractual obligations to your current phone service provider (if any).

    i've used it for around >6 for three properties. adsl + hp unlimited for $59.99 is easily the best bang-for-buck plan on the market.

    The down-time is a bit of a pain but it's cheaper because you are on a TPG DSLAM so the back-haul after the exchange is on TPG's dollar, not Teltra's.You'll see the occasional complaint on Whirlpool, and some areas have had a few problems, but the only time I have had connection trouble, other friends on different providers have had similar around the same time…

    If you use your landline, their is always the $5 free "local" call option.
