Hi Reg
I was in the same boat a while back. I was with TPG and they wanted to do the same thing to my plan as iiNet wants to do with yours. I changed ISPs as a result. Unfortunately I went with iiNet and it seems I'll be back in the same situation when my contract expires.

It seems the old pricing isn't sustainable which is strange as bandwidth should get cheaper with time and increasing volume of users.

Hi All WAMUGGers

There was some discussion on adsl providers several months ago and Andrew Nielsen recommended Internode. (Sorry Andrew but I don't seem to have your current email address to ask you this question directly.)

Finally iinet have written to say they will be reducing my Broadband Light plan from 1500/256 to 512/128 or I can pay $20 more to maintain my current speed. What are your current feelings on Internode, and other adsl providers. I don't want to pay more for 1500/256 and I don't want to go down to 512.

Is it likely that Internode, or other isps will also increase their charges in the near future, as iiNet suggests will happen?
