Bored. Interested to know who IPXers (and friends) use as their ISP.
I’m with node and have been since I first got ADSL in 2003. Have been very happy with them. Very reliable. You pay a little extra but from the stories I hear from other ISP’s, it can be worth it. Only time I’ve considered changing is now, and that’s just because they’re reasonably priced ADSL2+ can only be used in areas they have their agile dslams. I’m not in one, so am left with the choices:
$40 a month extra for the same plan I’m on now, but with ADSL2+ (uses Telstra’s dslams thus they charge more
Stay on ADSL1 with node
Change ISP’s to either iinet (not cheap) or TPG (cheap, but keep hearing reliability stories…)
Netspace for about 2 years always good but would not give me ADSL 2+ ow btw netspace is now Iinet.
the TPG Speed is always good. the current issues is to do with their RADIUS server not keeping me logged on. i just have to keep hounding them. but this is the same with all ISP’s
in nz, live in a smaller town, slow but stable. as long as the farmer keeps his gate shut it works fine, that dame number 8 fence wire just dosen’t cut it some times.
Node was first, then Westnet had a better deal when I was at my flat. Then I went to Netspace when I first moved here, but swapped out for Node when I couldn’t keep my line stable. Well, I couldn’t keep it stable with Node either until I replaced my modem (swapping an NB6 for another NB6) and suddenly all was fine.
No complaints about any of these ISPs, but I think Internode offers the best extra services (mirrors, streams, iView) and their customer service is pretty good as well.
I’m in a c0untry Area in the sticks and we had 0nly 1 ISP in this Area IHUG way back when and I must admit they paved the way to upgrade
most ph0ne exchanges to ADSL1, but I think we will never see ADSL2 d0wn here EVER
I played quake 0n 400 ping in the day as that was the best U c0uld get and yep I used 2 run ar0und with the axe m0st 0f the time…..
Anyway back t0 ISP’s
I was with IINET and I must admit it was great n0 dr0p 0ut’s and 3FL servers are the best 4 gaming, they still have 100 L4D servers :P
but there plan’s g0t w0rse and w0rse s0 I changed Netspace Is a great place, Unmetered c0ntent is amazing, best c0nnecti0n speeds I have ever seen d0wn here and that’s saying
al0t since I g0 thrU ar0und 8 h0ps t0 m0st game servers, s0 0ut 0f 10 I w0uld give Netspace 9/10 (Price/Service/Content/Speed)
Overall every ISP that is w0rth having is n0w using Pipe
s0 I w0uld 0nly ch00se 1 fr0m this Pipe List
Also remember Upl0ads c0unted can hurt U if U d0n’t kn0w what ya doing….
That just Leaves TPG and If I was in a ADSL2 area the m0st l0gical ch0ice w0uld be t0 save cash and g0 with there Excellent Plans.
and 0n a final n0te
A Current Affair t0night had a st0ry 0n ISP’s and they interviewed the CEO 0f AAPT We d0minate America and we n0w want t0 d0minate here was the feeling U g0t after listening t0 there new strategy AAPT Unlimited Broadband Bundle
Might be w0rth a l00k int0

Chose to stay with ADSL1 and Internode for now.
How about everyone else?

i choose to stay
(plus it feels like I’m on ADSL+3Million since i moved anyway!)
Tried a few
Node was first, then Westnet had a better deal when I was at my flat. Then I went to Netspace when I first moved here, but swapped out for Node when I couldn’t keep my line stable.

just hassel them more
that’s the way to get service out of any provider ;)
