I'm with iiNet and I pay $50/month for 10gb/10gb and it's ADSL 2+ which is nice and fast.

Lots of people bag iiNet's support line but I've been with them for about two years now and have only had to call them once.

Go figure?

i'm with iinet and i'm not happy.

when i check on their site it saids my line is capable of running adsl2+ then when i signed up thru the phone, the tech person said its fine too, then after i signed a 24 months contract, they said i couldn't support adsl2+ because i'm actually running off a subexchange. not happy, but fine. so i'm on 1.5Mbps for 24 months. for $50 10/10 Gb per month

however, half way thru my contract, now they're jacking up the price and said if i wanna stay on 1.5Mbps, then i have to pay $20 more/ month which is $70/month for 1.5Mbps 10/10 Gb per month. and i refused to pay extra, so now they set me back to 512KBps.

=(

iinet used to be good. 24MBit is awesome. but lately they had issues with international traffic. so slow lah.

currently with telstra and its so stable compared to iinet.

saying that i'd give amnet a go.

Amnet.. shit customer service but well priced with good speeds.

I think there are a few threads about it.. but basically if your just starting out & might need some tech support go Westnet. If your feeling a bit more adventures & want to save some dosh check out the others.

Whirlpools also a great place to get info on providers.
