    Hi Guys looking for advice on the best broadband provider in the Melbourne area. Ive been researching online and the info is very confusing. I'm not looking for bundle just want it for the apartment, no phone required. Im looking for unlimited data as well because I skype home alot and use it for work in the evening as well. I seen TPG have an unlimited deal for $60 a month and a 12 month contract. But I dont want to go into a contract if it ends up being a ****e connection

    Anybody recommend a good provider?

    IINET naked DSL, $70 a month, no line rental & no contract. 100gb a month, no off or on peak time restraints.
    You won't use much bandwidth using Skype all the time.

    Ya skype doesn't use much at all. You'll really only need unlimited if you do a lot of downloading. I'm with iinet on a 100gb a month plan (50 on peak, 50 off) and its $59 per month. No line rental and no contract. The setup costs can be pricey enough. I think I paid something like 150 connection fee and then bought a modem or router (not sure which) for around 100 in JB HI FI. Then if you move theres a transfer fee. Can't remember how much but I think it was around 100. iinet have a very good customer service also.

    Im with TPG unlimited for $60 a month including line rental, on a six month contract.

    The Whirlpool forum has a good site for comparing all the broadband plans available to you including all costs and contract terms. Check it out here

    Buy a pocket wifi from Vodafone and get on one of their caps.

    So long as your not downloading music or watching vids online its great.
