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 …

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!

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. I am a low end user but have become used to the speed of ADSL 2. I have had the internet, home phone and mobiles bundled for the last couple of years which consider is excessively expensive considering what I use it for. Is there anything out there other than BigPond, Optus and iiNet worth looking at?
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Have you had a look at http://www.whirlpool.net.au/
Type in your phone number and it will list hundreds of available providers.
My neighbours get a good fast bundled service from Internode.
AAPT ?
