I would not agree. Westnet can be very accommodating and do make a lot of noise while you wait in their 'phone queue about how responsive they are and reliable their service is yet I have been waiting over 2 weeks now for them to get back to me about setting up a personal webspace - a pretty simple thing, supposedly and one that, incidentally they seem to have some conflict about deciding just how much you, as a user are entitled to (stating in one place in relation to the plan I am subscribed to, an allowance of 1GB and in another 20MB).
Recently too, the actual service (ADSL2+) seems to have become rather flakey and I quite often have transient connection problems to their email server, for example; accounts I access on another server will be unaffected at the same time that I have a problem with the Westnet account. Maybe this is related to the exchange somehow but in the first instance it's still a Westnet problem as they are the service provider. Well, maybe not in 'the first instance' - that would be my problem I guess? And when Mail on my MBP is having a hard time doing its job I do have the option of turning off my Wifi connection on the phone and accessing my email through my 3G Telstra account :P Perhaps I'll have another chat to Westnet today … peter meyer 0408 902349 pmo...@westnet.com.au On 15/12/2010, at 9:34 AM, Barb Zahari wrote: > > I'll second that .. no problems at all in 3 years of use, & the service is > great. > Just the fact that phone calls are answered 24/7 by real people here in Perth > makes them vastly superior in my book! > > BarbZ > > > On 15 Dec 2010, at 9:22 AM, Ken Jackson wrote: >> Westnet Adrian, they're owned by IINET and their service is impeccable, >> >> regards, >> >> Ken >> >> >> On 14/12/2010, at 8:11 PM, Peter Martinson wrote: >> >>> >>> Adrian Skehan wrote: >>>> Good evening all, >>>> Having become fed up with Telstra over a billing issue and at the same >>>> time starting to feel like one of their favourite milking cows, I have >>>> decided to move on, but just where to go from here is looking like a more >>>> daunting task than first anticipated.
