tyggerjaiSo, those of you with Internode. I have a couple of things I'm pondering at the moment, since we'll be moving in January, and in the market for an ISP.
1) Our current plan is a Naked plan, $59.90 a month for 150GB. This plan no longer exists. These days, $59.90 a month buys ... 30 GB. How can the internet be getting more expensive, by a factor of 5?
2) I had thought the point of Naked services was to save money by not having an actual phone service. But the bundled service from internode is in fact cheaper. I can pay $79.95 a month for a naked service with 200 GB. Or I can pay $79.90 a month for broadband plus home phone with Internode, and simply never use the phone. Again, wtf?
Is there something I'm missing here? Were the Naked services so popular that Internode basically nerfed them, to render them effectively pointless?
Who would you be buying internet from at the moment? On the one hand, $80 a month is a tad steep. On the other hand, 30GB a month probably isn't enough.

I'm not actually sure what we pay - but its more than $80 - but then we have a business plan and the class-c and a bunch of servers.
You still pay about $30 a month line rental if you have a home phone through telstra/optus whatever - unless its bundled with telstra/optus internet.
