Cheaper Phone and Broadband for Australians

Effective the first of this month I have really cheap home phone and internet! By combining the new Optus Fusion (the $99/mo package) with MyNetFone VoIP, I pay nothing for local/national calls, and the cheapest possible rates for mobiles and internationals. I also get 20Gb/mo cable broadband and a wireless modem thrown in. I’m sure the Japanese do better but this is Australia, and I’m pleased!

The Japanese have 100 mbit fibre optic cable internet. I’d say yeah, they’re doing better - or at least doing whatever they’re doing a lot faster! hehe

While I’m here, I wanted to mention this. After spending a few weeks enjoying many of the Do Follow blogs via the RSS feed, I’m in the process of adding a new section to my blog sidebar with links to my favourite reads. You’re one of them.

Whenever I add someone to my sidebar, I Stumble their blog, add them to my Technorati favourites, and link to the blog in my weekly wrap up which is done on Sundays. I hope the stumble brings you a bit of traffic and a few new readers.

Wow, I thought the telecoms were bad up here in Canada. Those bandwidth caps are atrocious! Plus, prices are pretty insane too - you’re looking at $99 for broadband (20GB/month limit) and VOIP phone only?

Perhaps it’s time I stopped complaining about the situation here in Canada, eh?

@charlie - this is two different products. The $99 covers the broadband plus unlimited local and interstate landline calls (not cell), and the VoIP is another company, which I use for mobile/cell calls and international. So it’s not too bad!
