So I’ve been handed over a link that could have potentially solved all the phone issues I had back in November. Although, it’s very much bundle based and VOIP… I have some reservations about VOIP… yes, free/cheaper calls and the like but it uses your internet connection right? I don’t like that component… you still have to pay line rental for a phone line that you don’t really want… which is why we didn’t opt for VOIP.
Regardless of my reservations I was directed to the website under the promise that gotalk provides cheap broadband plans, home phone & voip services but I don’t know… only 9GB of internet a month? Yikes, no thanks! And their best ADSL2+ plan is only 60GB (the one we decided on is more than 3 times that and only costs $10 more). They do have cheap broadband plans but their plans aren’t much better than better known companies in Australia (not that I’m suggesting anyone ever join up with BigPond… DON’T DO IT! Seriously, choose Gotalk… we love Gotalk lol) although I can’t see that they charge for uploads which is a YAY!
If you want to try a something new though and are interested in VOIP plans then why not give them a shot? If you can get away from the evils of Telstra and Optus why not right? Be aware though that their bundles are much more ‘value for money’ than anything else… line rental is a bit pricey!
All in all, I’d suggest getting Cable with VOIP if I wanted to try it though *sigh* if only I could get Cable internet lol

You guys don't have vonage over there? I thought it had gone beyond the us by now.. strange.
as it stands my normal phone line powers my dialup, it's all i can afford *sniffles*
Ahh I hate the lack of good value broadband in Australia. We're so far behind everyone else in the world right now (soon to be further when they bring that stupid censorship law). I also live in regional Australia at the moment so even when I do find good value broadband they don't have service in my area -stabs telstra, optus, virgin and dodo- lol.
Whoa… I didn't know that people charged for internet based on how much you use… I always just thought it was unlimited. Anyway, good luck getting that settled! Oh, and nice layout!
