1.5Mbit ADSL drops below $120
Dan Warne

Competition is becoming savage in the broadband market, with price leading ISP Netspace releasing a 1.5Mbit ADSL plan with 8GB of data for the jaw-dropping price of $119.

A 'flat rate' version of the plan is available for the same price, allowing customers to continue using their connection at 56Kbit speeds, even if they have reached their 8GB limit.

The aggressive move by Netspace is likely to trigger a price war at the high end of the ADSL market. Other ISPs are already coming close to Netspace's leading price, with plans ranging from 3GB to 10GB of data from $125/mth upwards.

Netspace Managing Director Stuart Marburg told Whirlpool the plan was profitable, but did not include a 'lot of fat', due to Telstra's high pricing for the physical 1.5Mbit connection.

"What we are really trying to do with this plan is provide options for people who want a fast link, but don't necessarily need huge amounts of data -- although 8GB is quite enough for a lot of people," he said.

Netspace has become popular with the file sharing community due to its free peer- to-peer data.

However it only provides one email address with its broadband services. Mr Marburg said this was under active review at Netspace, but that their team had been focusing on getting the new plan out the door first.

The new Netspace plan may be of interest to customers wanting to migrate off cable, especially Optus users who finally lost NetStats in the last 3 months. The new plan offers the closest speeds possible to cable and 5GB more than Optus or Telstra offer.

Internode also recently boosted value at the low end of the market, bumping up its sub $50 plan to match Netspace's 1GB of included data. It also released a 2GB plan for $59.95, providing a welcome intermediary step between its low end plan and its 4.5GB plan. Netspace offers a similarly priced 2GB plan, but with a bonus 2GB of data to be used in off peak times.

Rooms seldom seem to come up right so someone should list the room(s) available. Remember to list them as #room and not room and properly reflect the existence of capitals..

Hope it works.

just tried reconnecting with my other key..
like i had to set it up from scratch
in a new profile...(waste prefrences>profiles>profile manager)

it takes a while to get in there just leave it connect for a while and come back and check on it..every 5 mins or so..but make sure you have every thing set up in preferences...

if you are on a LAN

in(->msinfo32 in the run box) go to
components>network>adapter
that will have
your LAN IPadress
if you are being assigned one by a DHCP
or if you know already

then in waste prefrences>network>ip adresses
put your machines LAN ip in the force incoming ip to: field
i have use access control list checked
with one ip
0.0.0.0/0


in waste prefrences>network>
network name /ID
napsterites <----for eg.(network doesnt exist)
case sensitive ,dont leave a space after it..:) (this seems to catch a few ppl out so beware!)
note:there is a noname network..kicking about if you can find it..:)

i have route traffic checked both when i used dial up and DSL
i have in the listen port section both checked

everything else in preferences ihave left at default...

try as many ppls ips that you know of that are connected.. ..that seemed to help
u can try peoples domain names was well if they have one..

as well as any ips that you have..
in network status
you only need one person to authorise but get as many keys of the people connected to the network as you can

hope that helps any one trying to connect....:)

:PO: I don't really know what the hell I'm doin' but here is my key:
