Cheapest internet + landline?

we are with westnet and pay almost $80 per month.

 

we do 1 call or so per month on the landline, we have it just so we have a phone number.

 

is there a cheaper option?

 

no mobiles or fancy stuff involved.

no no - iinet

 

you can get unlimited internet and voip for $59 a month thru them

 

 

i havent upgarded to that plan - im still paying $59 a month for 50/50 gigs and voip

 

if i upgraded which still costs the same, it would mean a 2 year plan and i'd have to pay a fee if i want to disconnect before then

Hey Joz.

 

It's a thing you plug into your computer port and a phone into that. Of course you need internet service and if it's anything like it is here, most just get a bundled service. Soon I'll be signing up for a service, just under $100 a month...unlimited phone, high speen internet, and cable TV.

 

Close to a 1,000 channels of which I'd filter out 900 of them. 10 Premium channels (no commercials)

Costs vary for the same product depending on your location, so it's hard to compare.

excellent tip jim!

in the vid he said it can be used in other countries other then U.S

if its compatible to oz, i'll definitely look into it

 

he said you need at least a router that must mean a net connection, not sure

See if you can get naked ADSL... it seems you don't need the landline as you only make one call a month. Westnet do naked if you are in the right area. 

 

I am also with Westnet but I don't care that they cost more. People all around go for the cheapest but they have no end of problems. My son has a cheap bundle and now it takes him 4 hours to upload to his youtube channel. My mum is with Telstra and I don't think she has a correct bill for the past 6 months.

Westnet $60 p/m Internet + landline.  (Depending on where you live - sometimes there is a surcharge to telstra).  But they do not give phone discounts to pensioners like telstra does.

I have recently swapped to the Telstra Max bundle

 

so I get

 

unlimited phone calls, local,  national, mobiles,

 

200 GB internet  then slowed

 

Foxtel channels

 

 

 

BUT  

 

I have other charges I know nothing about on my account which I have to investigate, which have doubled my monthly account,   and a mobile phone number i know nothing about on my account, and I was not given any SIM card.

 

Also the Foxtel is not connected yet, partially my fault for not getting onto that, andI have to get onto that, when I get a moment.

 

 

 

and my favourite prepaid mobile number which I took to Telstra, was disconnected as I had not topped up the mobile credit for the required time.  I just had the phone for emergencies and did not use it often at all.

 

Okay, that was my error, but Telstra could have sent an email to me advising me I would lose my number if I did not take the action of topping credit up. But nothing advising me of that which is annoying

 

I lodged a complaint but have been told there is nothing that can be done and the number is lost.   But when I google, some people have posted the number can be brought back but you have to go high enough and find the right person.

and I did like the number as it was very easy to remember and I did not want to lose it.

 

 

 

 

also my old phone company has still been billing my CC so I have to deal with that too
