Slow internet is now a thing of the past. Nobody talks of kb anymore with a minimum download being in MB’s and GB’s. Offer a potential subscriber a dialup plan or a speed less than 256KBPS and he scoffs at you especially with the usual speed range in Australia at a minimum 512KBPS. Most people prefer to choose their mobile internet or home broadband plan online.

The internet world has fast changed from the dialup internet to the DSL or digital subscriber line. DSL is also commonly known as home broadband and comes to you, as the subscriber through your existing telephone line, and is way faster than the traditional dial-up. The existing telephone line is split into two using a small device called a splitter. One end goes into your telephone and the other end goes into a special DSL modem that permits home broadband usage on the telephone line. This way you can use the internet and the phone together, unlike Dialup internet that engaged your phone while internet was used. DSL is also available as Naked DSL or internet on your phone line without the telephone facility.

Aside from Home broadband, a fast catching up facility being provided by many providers is mobile internet. Under this a device plugs into the USB port of the computer and allows the computer to access internet. The internet connectivity is provided through this device or even through a mobile phone that can connect to the pc using Bluetooth or USB. Many a providers like 3,tpg and Vodafone provide such facilities.

Keeping in mind the difficulties consumers face while choosing an appropriate internet plan in Australia, http://www.internetchoice.com.au was set up in 2006 to simplify choices and provide comparisons between providers and services alike. VOIP comparisons are available too.
