If there is one thing I really hate it’s really poor internet service. There isn’t anything worse as a web junkie than waiting whilst pages don’t load properly or don’t load at all. Now when you are paying a few bucks for dialup internet that’s to be expected but not when you are paying a fair amount of money for an internet service which is no where near what you would expect.

Enter the pathetic Unwired wireless broadband here in Australia. My girlfriend is using their internet service and when I’m there it drives me crazy because it’s so damn slow. Now this is supposed to be broadband but it’s not much better than dialup and I think it’s absolutely pathetic is also useless unless all you do is get a couple of text emails.

Now here are the plans.

Now the plan my girlfriend is on is the highest available priced at $109.95 and called the Unleashed Plan. Maybe they should think about unleashing it sometime. Since it is so bad I thought I would test to see just how fast a connection we were getting so I jumped on to speedtest.net.

The results speak for themselves. That is absolutely pathetic for a $100+ internet plan. What happened to the 1024kbps? I wouldn’t expect to be peaking the service but anything under 50% is just not good enough.

Unwired… You get the SpinDigg big Thumbs Down and a lost customer. If you want unwired broadband in Australia then I wouldn’t recommend Unwired.
