I am currently in a flat with my brother who works for telecom and we get the 'free' internet and phone that being an employee entitles you to. Whilst this is all well and fancy good i have come to despise the telecom internet service and will typically get 1/2 to 1/4 of the advertised line speed and can't update steam ever for some reason. (i presume it has something to do with packet shaping)
All of this has then led me to want to move to another provider and if i must, pay for it all on my own.
What i want to know is:
1. Can i just have an Xnet (or equivalent) BB plan without any phone service whatsoever into the house? We don't use the phone at all and all have our respective cell phones so no phone at all would be fine.
2. I don't want a full upload speed plan as it's not necessary for us so i would like to know if i can get an xnet (or equivalent) river data plan (FLS Down/128 Up) and then at some point in the future (or straight away) get the VOIP service as an extra. Therefore having 20GB of River for $54.43 and then the $12 or whatever it was for the VOIP service later. This seems like a better deal for us than the Fusion plan.
3. If no to above, with the Xnet Fusion plan at $69.95 p/m this does not include any data correct? Just the FLS up/down $1.02/GB fee on top so 20GB of data plus the phone would end up being ~$90 p/m
So fundamentally, can i have a FLS Down/128 Up 20GB plan (with an option to increase data) with no phone line whatsoever in a house that currently has Telecom phone and internet?
Thanks in advance.
