Well, I’ve finally decided to go ahead and upgrade to ADSL2+. I originally planned to do it the second my exchange was enabled. That happened in June, but various things got in the way so it took me until now to get round to it.
That means ditching Netspace as an ISP after about 3.5 years. Netspace aren’t a bad ISP, but they really haven’t offered anything special over their competitors for a couple of years now, and they still don’t offer ADSL2+ yet. Though they at least have it on the roadmap now instead of sticking their fingers in their ears and saying “lalalalalala”.
In any case, I canceled my Netspace account – and have signed up with TPG, which means that until the process is complete I have to make do with my 3 NetConnect card at 384kps with a 200Meg quota.
It could be worse I guess, I could be on dialup.
However, TPG have been sending me a flurry of status updates all day so it shouldn’t be too much longer before I’m up and running with ridiculous amounts of downstream bandwidth, and most importantly 1Mb of upstream – maybe more if TPG support Annex-M.
