I recently changed from iiNet due to their customer
service. I would be more willing to accept that the
fault was at my end sometimes if they actually took
into account that they could also be at fault at
times.I got my phone line tested, changed all my
settings numerous times, turned my modem speed down,
spent months trying to fix my problems with them and
gave up. 

The best excuse I heard was from a friend who was told
by iiNet that his fridge could be the problem. Of
course everyone needs to go and buy a new fridge when
you get disconnected from the internet...

I'm still hnting a decent ISP, it looks like Westnet
is the next one on my list for trialing.

Good luck,
Kelly
