telstra customers charged for paying bills, page-39

While you're at it - check your broadband usage....

After using Telstra for everything (broadband/home phone/mobile) for years, I finally saw the light and ditched them altogether. Found a new provider offering faster broadband, higher download limit, cheaper phone, same line rental - overall saving about $40/month.

The odd thing is, with Telstra I was always coming up against my 12Gb monthly download limit (I run Iress a lot), and having to carefully restrict usage towards the end of each month to avoid throttling back to 64k. With the new provider, same usage pattern, I never get over about 9Gb per month. Very odd.....
