Which internet provider will suit you best depensd on what suburb you live in and what your usage rate is like. As someone with a fairly average usage rate (sometimes download movies or a season of Roseanne, but not acquiring huge slabs of stuff at a time) who lives on the west side of town, I find TPG do a great job. We rent a line through Telstra but get our internet through TPG. The price is quite reasonable, and we have never gone over our limit. It is generally very fast and very rarely drops out (and when it does, for no longer than two minutes).
The tech support is quick and friendly too, which is important if something does go wrong. The only criticism I have is that living in a sharehouse it is very difficult to change the names on the bills - seems to be a lot of work involved. That said, I think that applies for most home service providers - electricity, gas and phone. read more
