Not only that, but it appears support calls are now handled by AINS rather then Supernerd staff (this is good, because their staff really sucked). So given that sudden large network changes may give rise to unusual problems like the one mentioned in this post, I'm going to give the "new and different" Supernerd a bit of time and then reassess whether I still need to change. Given that there is no well known provider offering unlimited plans, it might be much of a muchness if I was to change to another unknown provider.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've done some statistics, and found that my average monthly useage is about 20Gb. So a plan shaped at say 30Gb at the same speed (512/128) would probably be adequate. Too bad most providers seem to cap at 20Gb for plans at the $60 pricepoint.Justin Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995847102962013980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11278247.post-50273506520258322422007-02-19T22:23:00.000+11:002007-02-19T22:23:00.000+11:00Why don't you give internode a whirl.:-DI think yo...Why don't you give internode a whirl.<BR/>:-D<BR/>I think you'll like it!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136684382071154641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11278247.post-81209403506586527122007-02-16T23:58:00.000+11:002007-02-16T23:58:00.000+11:00Briefly viewing iiNet's plans and pricing etc, the...Briefly viewing iiNet's plans and pricing etc, they seem awfully expensive without providing much in the way of bandwidth...mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336161794247063945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11278247.post-60943296622956775952007-02-14T13:41:00.000+11:002007-02-14T13:41:00.000+11:00Working from home is considered to be somewhat of ...Working from home is considered to be somewhat of a privillage, and thus if I want to continue doing that, I need to provide my own broadband access.<BR/><BR/>As for cost, I'm currently paying $60 a month for true unlimited 512kbps ADSL.

Mine does. And so, in that case, you can sweat a little less blood about paying $50 instead of $19.95 per month for it.
