Hi,

I dont know if this is in the right section, but telstra just rang me offering an extreme cable which has a speed of 30mb/s. Will exetel be doing anything like ?

I don't think so.

$80 per month with 12 gigabytes (not including line rental) is pretty expensive; http://my.bigpond.com/internetplans/bro ... efault.jsp

if that was the price they offered me it would have been too expensive, but because i have foxtel etc, on a 60gig limit for the first 9 months its only $44 and $109 for the remaining 16 months.

Im happy with exetel for the time being, but just thought id check. What would be good though, if there was a higher download limit plan as this month ive done way over my limit

As of 1 November, Exetel plans go up to:
* 36Gb peak + 48Gb off peak = 84Gb for Powertel ($95 per month)
* 48Gb peak + 48Gb off peak = 96Gb for Optus with phone ($90 per month + $30 per month for phone)

This Optus price is almost exactly the same cost over 24 months as Telstra's and has a higher limit. For 60Gb per month (the 12Gb peak + 48Gb off-peak plans) cost comparisons are:
* Telstra = 9 months @ $44 + 16 months @ $109 = $2,140
* Exetel (Powertel) = 24 months @ $55 per month = $1,320
* Exetel (Optus) = 24 months @ @40 per month = $960

Also, until there is empirical evidence of the speeds, I doubt that you will be getting anywhere near 30MB/s (just the same as ADSL2 is billed as "up to 24Mb/s"). Will be curious to see real life speed comparisons though

Im currently on plan RX 5T so does that mean from the 1st of november the total download limit will be inreased to 96gb (peak and off peak combined) ?

From this post and from my understanding, yes. All existing and current plans with a 40Gb allowance for off-peak increase to 48Gb off-peak as of 1st November.
