Broadband

Hi,
Just wondering what you would recommend for broadband - i think i have narrowed it down to Netspace and Internode.
Netspace for a limited time is no set-up fee and a b/b wireless modem for $100.00, this is for a 24 month contract on a 512k/128k plan with 2GB download limit then it shapes out to dial up speed - this is $39.95 per month.
Internode costs about $380.00 for wireless modem and set-up and is $39.95 per month is a 8GB shaped plan - this is no contract but a $65 fee applies if you cancel in the first 6 months.
I am possibly thinking Netspace as i dont see that i will be downloading HEAPS anyway.
Anyones suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks

also as for the wireless modems etc if they are free or cheap get them through the provider, but u do know you can buy them at like any computer store and $380 will get you like the best (home use) wireless modem like a N series etc.

yeah and check out the above link especially beofore you sign to a long contract. as you arnt into downloading now but who knows in 5months..... i wasnt then we got broadband and i have now 100's of movies etc that i have downloaded .... i mean um legal trialers that are full length lol:P lol

good luck man

Looks like netspace will be the lucky one - i'll go and have a further chat to the dude where i got my laptop from at lunch to get the 'fine print'.
J

*EDIT* Yeah Skitz, i need wireless as i will have my lappy in my room and the modem out next to the desktop.
I will also make sure i make it secure - dont want anyone doin what i did to my neighbour - reason i am gettin it is theirs is now password protected so i cant get in!

As you are in tassie take special care to check who has good reports for throughput as tassie is known for having problems with that.

so you need a wireless router then, not a wireless connection?

will be a lot cheaper
