The biggest ripoff yet is the Big(joke)Time plan!! I have had to put up with constant disconnections and woefully slow broadband(cough, thats what Telecom call it!). What a joke I had no issues with the Go large plan it was great but then the switch to Bigtime has been horrendous.

I am currently on their new Big Time plan. However i experience no caps in speed while playing games or using p2p applications. ADSL2+ is not currently installed at my location, however my speeds are now more faster then when i was on a unrestrained plan.
