You may find if you are in a regional area or outer suburb, that many internet service providers (ISP’s) are unable to offer ADSL2+ at your property. If you have your heart set on getting ADSL2+ because you’re a heavy internet user, there is still a good chance that Bigpond will be able to offer ADSL2+ in your area even though other providers can’t.
While Telstra Bigpond’s bundle plans are on a 24-month contract, they will also throw in a free Home Network Gateway Modem, no matter what level bundle plan you sign up to. There is also a $9.95 delivery fee for the modem with each plan.
These bundle packages are available either on an ADSL (up to 1500kbps), ADSL2+ (up to 20mbps) or cable (up to 30mbps) connection.
