Ye mighty Samsung note phablet is on its way and it's also time, accordingly, to look at slashing my current home phone and internet bundle. I currently have a Telstra ADSL2 and home phone package for $99
Optus doesn't service Bribie Island (you would think that the second biggest carrier would piss all over the likes of IINET and Dodo but apparently they can't get access to Telstra copper wire) so I'm not able to get their $50 ove-fifties bundle they keep, insultingly, advertising on my tv.
That would pay for the phablet but no go. So I'm considering going naked DSL with one of the other companies and getting a VOIP phone. I really don't use the home phone all that much.
Anyone have that setup? Do you need an engineering degree to set it up or is it all pretty much plug and play? Any ideas on costs?
I note that Telstra trialled naked DSL a couple of years ago but didn't proceed. Is this because the system isn't too good or is it just that T are evil? B)
