iinet bought out AAPT, should I go with iinet?

Unread postby Gotrek1966 » 1 Jun 12, 6:03 pm

As title says.

Been waiting for contract with AAPT to finish as we are over the complete **** up they did with the original contract. Question is, is iinet any good? Had a look at their site and going VOIP seems a bit steep with everything else bundled in.

Or is that just me?

Yes, Node has better Tech support from what I have read, but other than that node and iinet are on par with each other (they must be doing something right with so many of the executives from Node joining the iinet board :P ).

Either Node or iinet would be who I would suggest, so just look at the plans both dsl and VoIP from those 2 providers and see who suits you better :wink:

I doubt the ACCC would let them buy either, just as I doubt they would let TPG buy iinet ( even though TPG have significant shares in iinet). It would be far too anti-competitive for either of the top 4 players to purchase one of the other companies imho.

Had to call them this arvo. Got a call back under an hour later. 5min phone call and they found the issue and are sending Telstra to the exchange tomorrow apparently. I'm on the 400gb naked plan with VoIP for $90. 100gb plan at $70 last time I checked. It was a lot cheaper than node last time I checked...

Knew they were going to do it, only got the letter yesterday saying they were going to cross us over to iinet in the next few days.

(to be honest I totally forgot about the whole iinet/aapt thing) :lol:

So how long until the secret handshake with Telstra to maintain **** prices?

Wait, maybe that already happened.
