I had been with iinet for many years but recently had to change my
phone number, they made it almost impossible to do this without great
expense (I won't go into the details)
The other person whom I had to change my number with was with aapt,
so I changed to them. I must admit, since changing I have realised
just how bad iinet was!
aapt are quick, efficient, courteous and to my surprise, cheaper. Or
at least a better deal.
On my experience I cannot commend them higher.
I have no relationship with them or axe to grind, just pleasantly
surprised.

Bill, I used to be with Optus until I wanted broadband at home.
Optus told

exactly the same experience you've described. It seems Macs just
aren't on
the radar, however iPrimus are otherwise pretty good.

Subject: Optus broadband
Just got signed up with Optus for a broad band connection. After a
deal of mucking around collecting the hardware from the airport
base of the
courier I start to read the instructions.
Dire warning. "You MUST run the enclosed installation CD-ROM
BEFORE you connect any of the hardware......"
OK, chuck the CD in the lap top. Note that system requirements are
Windoze this and Windoze that.
NO result. The CD is Windoze only.
Ring Optus, do the usual "in a few words tell us why you are calling"
routine. Grumble........"i'm sorry did you say X or Y? ". etc
etc
A real person ( in India) eventually says - "you do not need to run
the CD. Just plug in the modem."
I hope that's the only problem I ever get with Optus!
