AANet

I have had no problems since I changed to them over 12 months ago. excellent service and pricing. Reccomended to anyone who is sick of the big telcos rip off pricing and speeds.

Approximate cost: $40.00 mthly

I have used AANet for nearly 3 years and I am very happy with them as an ISP. I was recommended to use them from a friend, and what I like is that they offer a static ip address with no port blocking on their ADSL connections. This means you can run your own mail server or whatever else takes your fancy.

They are not the cheapest though, but the quality is pretty good. And I very rarely have any outages, even though I am connected via a Telstra DSLAM. I reckon that AANet have reasonably low contention ratios too, as I find that the speed of my service is pretty consistent, even during peak evening times.

I notice on the AANet website that they strongly suggest that you seek support through the forums before calling them. I think this is because their client base is reasonably technical. On the odd occasion that I have called them, they have been very helpful - no Indian call centres!

Approximate cost: $39.95 for 512K
