ADSL services in Austrlia, are amongst the slowest and dearest in the world. This can mainly be attributed to the stranglehold that monopolies have.
Though the three companies do not offer the exact same service, an approximate comparison is made within what each advertises.
Compnay - Data - Speed - Cost
Bigpond - 25 GB - 1500/265 - $109.95
dodo - 30 GB - up to 2000 - $69.95
Optus - 30 GB - up to 20M - $109.99
There are other companies that offer similar services, eg.
40 GB - 1500 - $80
30 GB - 512 - $49.95
24 GB - 1500 - $59.95
Large companies prey on the vulnerability of the user, and over inflate the cost of their services.
When questioned they justify this by saying that they are the biggest and best in the business.
Other companies can offer a similar service that is of cost benefit to the user.
