This page is for flaming your current [ISP], explaining how much they suck and why you should change. Alternatively, if you've found an [ISP] that doesn't suck, then be sure to let us all know. To any [ISP] owners around, please don't take anything on this page as offense, just venting. :)
Discuss your [ISP] here, and ''please sign your messages''!

:
+ Have one of the better deals around IMHO, phone (VoIP) and internet (Full speed both ways ADSL2) for $69 a month + $1 per Gig traffic.
+ Pluses:
+ VoIP includes all the features that other phone providers charge extra for. lets you redirect voicemail to email, block anonymous calls, etc.
+ They automatically drop calls with invalid ANI, no more Australian Holiday Scams from "0000"
+ Minuses:
+ International bandwidth is very bad at the moment, almost unusable once all the "90G free" leeches get on at night. It wasn't so bad last year though and hopefully they'll sort out a better connection soon.

Good [ISP], a bit of packet loss internationally, no helpdesk, but if your accounts going fine you should never have to talk to them. Havent had any issues. 10[GB] international cap.. speed average.. 13k/sec normally.. but at times slower. have a habit of mentioning every scheduled telecom outage on their webpage, but hard to find out till you read them all where they are. similar to orcon. but peer to peer seems to work ok i guess (as good as peer to peer works). However all [ADSL] has dropped in performance, you never get the 16k/sec constant like you used to.

Bah.. I've had days when I can't stay connected for more than two minutes at a time, times when I'm still connected but can't even ping the [PPP] peer, news-server weirdness (a bunch of the binaries newsgroups have suddenly gone from 800 msgs a day to 150, and 2/3 of those are missing messages! Argh!)
[OTOH] they're cheap. I guess I can live with it :)
