Looking for Better Phone and Internet Plans
I want to shop around for better plans and possibly a new provider, but I want to make an informed decision before I jump ship. To do so, I want to know what networks are reliable in our area.
For mobile, I am with Optus. They charge me $60/m for unlimited calls/texts and 60GB of data. I barely use my phone and only need data when I am out of the house, or when my home internet is under maintenance and I use my phone as a hotspot.
This current plan is more than what I need, but I have been informed that it is the cheapest option, aside from prepaid. I have been given a $15 discount for the next few months, but am curious about some $25/m plans that I have seen online, such as the Dodo mobile service. Does anyone have insight into this?
For internet, I am with Exetel. I pay a currently discounted price of $80/m for a 50/20 NBN plan, which I feel is absurd. The price is almost double from when I joined. This is a legacy account, so if I move away from this, there's no going back.
I see that Exetel also offer a "Exetel One Plan" for $80/m for 500/40. They say that the trade off with this is that it's a prepaid plan with no over the phone support, etc. Personally, the only time I ever call is to discuss pricing, so I don't know that I would be suffering from this.
Is there anyone who moved from their legacy plan and regrets it, or has a better deal elsewhere?
Looking forward to some good opinions.
