since last June I've been on broadband, it costs 40 quid or 108dollars to u aussie guys for unlimited download/upload transfers and a permanent connection @ 576'000 kbps but its being reduced on April 1st to 81 dollars so u guys would be a lot better off if u had BT Openworld available Laughing

damn...well i could switch to Netspace ADSL with 1.5mbit dl's
10gb dl limit

not too bad
but the isp im with atm overcharges..thats why my bill was like that
tho i still did go a few gigs over the limit..prolly coz of Ag.as soon as i get on there ppl getting live sets off me coz i got about 20gb

gees $81 for ulimited download upload at 576,000kbps, that bloody good! the other problem in Oz is that not every one has access to the cable so alot of us still have to use dial up. And ADSL isn't very wide spread either. The ISPs and tellcos need to get their acts together down here.

Well, i am a bit of a klutz and a little silly at times, but when i want to get the songs/tracks/live sets i need. I just ring my bf and ask him to look for them. As you can see... it helps if you know someone who can download up to 3-5g in a month with fast connection. Smile

The Klutz got it easy when the Velour is still downloading! :p

And those who download 80g a month??? gimme your number lets be friends... what's behind all that hard drive space i wonder?? Razz

what gets me is that over here for 56k modems & dial-up access, u want 15 quid a month or 40 dollars, slow speed, cut-off every 2 hours, using up the phoneline... or u can pay twice that, but get unlimited downloads, a fast-as connection and a better web experience... some ppl dont see the benefits of this

my friends on NTL and they made them have their phone tv and everything with them as the contract, it took them 2 months to install it, and it keeps cutting her off, so I'm happy paying more cos I know this service is good

getting back to u ppl wondering bout 80gb/month Wink

ever heard of FxP boards?
this friend of mine gets a shitload of stuff on FxP boards (pub ftp's)
he dl's full length divx movies all the time
now depending on wether the movie is 1 or 2 cd's....thats 650mb to over 1gb for one movie

so it'd obviously add up to a fair bit if u keep up that habbit..

Above&Beyond · **Posted:** Sat Mar 16, 2002 1:57 pm

Oh i see! i guess he just burns them onto a DVD disk after that yeah? I can see how he managed to collect 80gigs now!!! Laughing

((-&E-)) · **Posted:** Sat Mar 16, 2002 7:14 pm

id sooo love to be able to d/l 80gb a month Laughing

.. ive been d/l stuff for just over 2yrs and i probally havnt d/l more than 10gb... Mad

Ami · **Posted:** Sat Mar 16, 2002 9:13 pm

hmm, when you mention that, with all the downloading of movies, i know a friend who probably does the same, although he doesnt use fxp, rather another well known software board, and you know what i reckon he downloads all that material for, just because he is bored and it gives him sumthing to do his pc!!!, oh and he burns them to cds, a box of 10 verbatim 80 minutes is roughly 7gb, and im sure hes got plenty of boxes dun already!!

andy, arent you in huddersfield, im pretty sure thats ntl hq for the area, and you should be able to get cable, unless they stoped just short of cabling your street, idiots Mad
