Switching to iinet for my ISP. Eventually had to do it unfortunately. TPG was promising to upgrade the Liverpool Exchange to ADSL2+ since March, however they dropped it from their DSLAM Rollout without any notice or explanation (Cheers TPG).

You may think that my ISP transfer might be solely based on getting a better speed, while this is partially correct, it isn’t completely right. You see, I use to be on TPG’s 1.5Mbit Plan with 20GB a month for a measly fifty dollars a month, true it was a plan too good to be true, but it lasted a while, I was on it for a little over a year. When they dropped it, purporting to Telstra’s price-hike on wholesale prices to ISPs, they had Liverpool on their Rollout, and I thought “Hey, I only have to be on another of their plans for a month or two and then I can get ADSL2+! For cheaper too!” So with that I choose TPG’s 1.5Mbit, 25GB, for $69.95.

The Plan was fine, but when the sole reason I was on it disappeared without a trace then I swore that I would switch ISPs unless it somehow miraculously appeared again. So here I am about to switch to iinet for $60 with VoIP, waiting for TPG to drop me as it was due to be cancelled on the 10th, so iinet can pick me up. (Really a shame that you can’t churn to ADSL2+).

I probably would have gone with Internode had they serviced my area, but ah well, beggars can’t be choosers. As someone currently in tune with the ISP community, I can honestly say that iinet offer the best packages out there at the moment.

I mean, for $60 you get:

* Up to 24Mbit Speed.
* 21 GB (7GB onpeak / 14 off)
* VoIP
* 30MB web space (Beats TPG’s 10MB)
* Back up dialup account (Something alot of ISPs Lack)

My Ex-Plan was:

* 1.5Mbit Speed
* 20 GB
* 10MB Web Space

A significant difference. Well worth the price, it has my approval.
