ozemail is owned and run by IInet and yes there customer service is crap, for the last week i have been calling 2 times a day and on hold for more than 35 mins and still no answer, and this is only to get through to the accounts / admin not faults. this is one of the reason i am changing

Has anyone heard of or uses ISP "curl" http://curl.com.au/dsl/ there 256/64 plans sounds good and you get 15gig not 10 gig

I second that comment on iinet.

Speed is good but customer service is shite. Went through some major hassles just to relocate when I moved house.

Also, check your invoices - they'd been charging me for things I didn't have for over 6 months. After 2 phone calls and numerous emails I think they may have got it sorted.

I even tried to give them constructive feedback about the hassels I'd had with them over the last few months, but unfortunately only got a fairly defensive reply..

Hey dude,

I'm with iinet to, and i have to agree with all the previous comments about them...

If you want customer service, the only company to go with is Westnet... the only prob is that they are a little more expensive, but the service is 110%!

dunno if you know the whirlpool forums, but they are all about australian broadband and there is heaps of info about all the providers there :)

hope that helps :)

lol westnet lol

You can not get better internet in perth then iinet on an iislam.

nuff said.

If you dont want service dont go iinet go Amnet much better not as fast but you dont have to get iiphone (Phone makes ALOT more money than broadband hence they bundle). Amnet is really good for the price and quick.

Also with iinet you need to consider the speeds offer are a MAXIMUM.This is dependant on factors such as SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), Attenuation, Cable distane (which really influences the other two), Modem brand, model and make (Different chipsets work better and worse than others) and your in house cabling / devices (that may or may not worsen the quality).

Anyways.

Service - Westnet

Speed - IInet

Speed / Price - Amnet

Hope it helps!

*P.S. im sure most companies will be offering VOIP very soon, I wouldnt let this influence your decision. VOIP will be common very soon, in the end I prefer home phone and my mobile cap plan. I use home phone for when people call me and mobile to call people. Works the easiest as I dont need to be at home and on the internet to make a call!

Unless iinet can garuntee tha you'll be on an iislam I'd go westnet. If you're not on one of their dslams you'll end up paying alot for 1500/128.

My personal story involves 4 weeks of f**king around with telstra and iinet trying to get them to talk to each other to fix THEIR own problems (invalid database entry) until I said f**k it and rang westnet, was all sorted within a few hours.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
