What can I expect of the ISP' in Australia?

[xen_yasai]

As my wife and I will be moving to Australia I have a question hopefully you aussies here can answer.

I've looked around on the net, and as far as I can see there is no ISP in Oz that do not have a limit cap on the connection. Is that correct? I can only download a certain amount each month?

Why would you want to move down there?

My wife is from Australia and I feel it's time to leave Europe.

Why not?
Any other suggestions? :-)

Is there really such a thing as unlimited in Europe, most come with fair use policys.

My UK ISP doesn't do unlimited, see reasons here http://www.plus.net/unlimited_broadband.

Very few people need unlimitted, I would suggest you look at your monthly downloads and choose an appropriate product.

Be aware that the vortices in all toilets and such spin in the wrong direction. Gravity also works in the opposite direction, which is a good thing, since everything else is upside-down.

Why not move here? Best country in the world!

The best site for ISP related research in Oz is Broadband Choice: http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/.

I have heard of unlimited downloads in Aus. I'm not sure what's currently offered, though.

... and the sun rises in the west here, too.

If you leave the city, just watch out for the Drop Bear - a carnivorous relative of the Koala that also lives in trees and likes to fall on its prey. They're viscious little buggers that'll tear your arm off as soon as look at you. Generally, you won't find this mentioned in holiday brochures as it would scare the tourists. You didn't think all those missing backpackers just skipped on their visas, did you?

what you said was kinda bashing Australia an you wonder why i Jumped

Actually, in Australia, there are always extra lines at Customs and Immigration departure points to cater for the large numbers of people begging to stay. It's a sad sight, but if they don't measure up to standard, we just have no choice but to send them back to where they came from.

[Evil_Bert]

Oh, one more thing xen_yasai ...

You'll find driving easier when you move here, too, since you won't be on the wrong side of the road anymore.

[kona0197]

I wasn't bashing anybody. It's funny how we bash everything here yet mention one country and people flip.

Relax.

[Demz]
