Kontiki replied to manicmoon on Bonus $400 Gift Card with $55 (after $10 Monthly Credit) Per Month 80GB Data 1 Year Telstra Plan (Port in or New) @ JB Hi-Fi
Do you need the Telstra network? If Optus will suffice, I find Amaysim very good. Currently paying $30 for 45 GB per month.

I have never used an NBN FTTP or HFC connection. Do you get the sweet low Ms numbers, say 2 Ms? I know it's not relative to bandwidth, we...

That's because it's not relevant. Pumping more data per second in a connection will not make the packets reach the destination any faster.

Indeed, for $75/month you'd expect at least a 50/20 plan.

We've only been with them for 3 years so not sure if it will stay this way, but so far they have brought down the rate twice.
