I could also point out that if I call the iiNet help line, I can do it 24 hours a day, and I speak to a real person within about 4 minutes of making the call, and they actually help you out with your problem! They also have a mailing list, that you can choose to be added to, that lists every single actual and potential technical fault that they are planning to have or find themselves having. You don't need to wonder whether the problem is yours and not theirs. (I get that sent to my work email address, not to my iiNet account. That would be silly!) They send updates on ongoing problems including expected resolution times, and updates when services return, and then closing notices when they have monitored the effected system being stable for a certain amount of time.
