Signed up with Bigpond ADSL. Was on an unlimited plan for $59.90 per month. Bandwidth was pathetically slow. Connection was constantly going down which caused so much frustration. Even when working the speed was almost comparable to dial up. Even though unlimited usage there was a cap your speed when you reached a certain level of usage so how is this unlimited? Changed as soon as I could to a better provider for the same price but the fastest speed available - AAPT. Will never sue Bigpond again - total ripoff's.

Approximate cost: $2,000.00

Puchased a Dimension 5150 with a multifunction printer. All worked well until after about three months computer crashed because the soundcard software conflicted with computer. The other thing that goes against the printer is the cost of the ink cartridges and that you have to buy them Dell and they are not available anywhere else.

Approximate cost: $2,500.00

Buying paving materials for a project at home. They had everything I needed including being able to match some extra paving tiles I needed to the ones I already had. Staff I dealt with were very helpful and allowed to be go and out of the shop without having to wait.

Approximate cost: $150.00
