Same price as ADSL also I'm guessing, they are ripping us off in Australia  :facepalm:

My ADSL was $60/month (complete rip).
The 100/20 NBN plan is $100/month. Still great value by comparison.

and yeah we get totally ripped on prices of.. almost everything. But internet and mobile phone plans especially.

It's a large modified bike dynamo Notty, each hut has their own, if they're on the rich side of town, else it's still carrier pigeon & smoke signals.   Sir David Barmy has seen it first hand.

That's fantastic Vlad, I'm on fibre (to the box on the street) and my speed is the same as your before box, it was even slower on ADSL.  :facepalm:

Vlad, you need to search better. My NBN, which works perfectly. $75, unlimited data i think or very high. My phone plan is $30 with 30gb and free everything else.
