I changed to Westnet for my broadband service. I am very satisfied. I also let them have my mobile phone billing in exchange for having the Telstra ADSL setup fee waived. We have just authorised them to have our entire phone account instead of Telstra. We estimate we will save about $20 a month with Westnet.
With our broadband hookup which took place before Christmas, I used the iConnect modem and phone line filters that Westnet offered. They arrived here by courier almost the next day. They were cheaper than anything I have seen in shops and worked perfectly from the instant they were connected. I have since hooked in a couple of Belkin switches from Harvey Norman to handle traffic from my kid's computers. All these work flawlessly too. When we started with Westnet we had the $30 Lite plus account with a half a gig of full speed downloads per month before it throttled back. This was inadequate for our family's nine terminals. I changed it to the $40 Premium service which provides 10 gb. This has proved to be ample. Occasionally I have had to switch the modem off briefly to allow it to reconnect to the Westnet server. Such interruptions are rare. Maybe once or twice a month. Apparently they are due to events beyond this house - such as server maintenance in the wee small hours. Hope this helps.
