Thanks for this link. I've just today questioned iiNet about my
account and received a (fortunately) positive reply from Adrian. I
was worried that my downloads were slow. Using your weblink I did a
test and found that my 1500/256 iiNet adsl is functioning at 1352 /
228.. Is that Ok?
Copied at the end of this email is an extract from Adrian's email for
interest. I think I have a much better (redundant) plan now than that
is currently offered for $59.95/month by iiNet.
Westnet has a good one: the premium 1.5Mb 5G + 5G plan at $59.95

iiNet's current equivalent is 512/128 @ $59.95 http://

There's no savings here in Gero by going to phone packages as iiPhone
is not set up here. BTW my Engin voip phone connection is saving us
heaps. I should post an update to my earlier missive on the subject.
Adrian iiNet's Email
Hi Reg,
Thank you for your email.
When iiNet first released newer plans early last year, we refered
to any new plan as 'broadband2', irrespective if your service is
connected to the iiDSLAM equipment or the Telstra equipment at your
local exchange.
In order to make it easier to determine who is on what equipment,
we now refer to anyone on Telstra equipment as 'broadband1' and
iiDSLAM as 'broadband2'.
As you are connected to the Telstra equipment at your local
exchange, your service is refered to as a 'broadband1' account.
However the speed has not changed nor has the download quota. It is
the same account that you have had since you joined with iiNet.
Only the name has changed. Your speed is 1536/256, your quota is
5Gb peak and 5Gb off peak.
Please note though the Light plan has been made redundant so if you
upgrade or downgrade the service you will not be able to return to
the same plan.
Sincerely,
Adrian
Thanks Ronni (How's Cloe?)
Reg
