Hi Guys, as the tittle sugests, i want to change ISP, can anyone sugest good ISP, want DSL 256/64 10 gig download at lowest posisible cost. heheheheh me a tight ass

at the moment im with ozemail and am not happy

thanks

Im with iiNET 12335/1024 10GB on peak and 10GB off peak.

Downloads at 1265k per second but costs $49.95 + you need to get your home phone with them thats $29.95 per month.

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 :)

Im with westnet atm at home and they are excellent customer service rocks because i never have to ring them about anything thier service is flawless thats why they win customer satisfaction awards every year. And im a gamer so thier speed is excellent aswell im on 1.5/256 at home

thanks guys, i am planning on moving to westnet but im having real trouble getting in contact with ozemail to cancel my connection. i was on hold for near on 1 hour today again and still didnt get through, i sent 2 emails to them today to call me, no call and no reply to my email.

ARRGGHHHHHHH !!!!!

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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
