Hey guys

i need to churn to a new isp and was looking at dodo.......i see alot of bad threads about them in here.

Can any one tell me about the above plan or even the ads2+ speeds/disconnections.i was thinking of getting the 100gb on/100GB off i live in north melbourne so any one near me with experience would be good.

Thanks
tiger

I'm new here, please be nice

I'm on the 100/100 plan with the dead bird and in big trouble now...
Was working fine so far but since last week totally useles for p2p!!
Service is crap – they blame my settings for the problem and after I said that I was able to find ports that work fine with my p2p software they admitted the the slow user down if the are heavy p2p users!!
This nice girl said I should have look into my contract but there is nothing about p2p traffic shaping.
I only can advice : stay away from dodo if you want to use any p2p network!!
There are still ways to bypass the blocked ports but I don't think it will last very long...

Dude, Dodo also counts upload. You should read their T&C properly before you sign up to them.

2 real options are

TPG Internet ADSL2+ Ultimate Super 5 $79.99 /mo 24576/1024 60 GB
(+140 GB) Shaped Free $79.95

Dodo 1.5Mbps Platinum $79.99 /mo 1500/256 100 GB

tpg slighty better than dodo just for quality support !
