I have been using Exetel for ADSL2+ Internet access and mobile telephony. The pricing is very competitive, the service is reliable and I find the downloadable usage widget very handy to keep track of usage. Their range of ancillary services such as email2fax, forums and online SMS is comprehensive and managed through a well-developed portal. I would highly recommend Exetel to anyone looking for a good ISP.

Approximate cost: $75

I use lastminute.com.au regularly when travelling for work or leisure. It's a great way to get the best rates for hotels and motels at short notice. I regularly achieve savings of up to 20% off the advertised room rates. I would highly recommend this site.

I studied a Business Diploma at the Liverpool NSW college. Although this course was considerably more expensive than other options I received commitments from Evocca that I would be able to study at my own pace. Unfortunately Evocca's commitment only lasted two months. I was plagued with a number of mysterious delays, viruses on their computers, work not marked within SLA, deceptive staff, poor communication, questionable marketing techniques and dodgy marking practices. Not good value for money.

Approximate cost: $15000
