I would think so. You can talk to iinet 24/7, even their sales team.

Think their alleged fastest is 30Mbps... and that's very alleged and on cable only... best down the phone line is 20Mbps which is no better than anyone else...

What is their overall service like?

Mikey
Their service is excellent. You ring em, and generally within a couple of rings, a person, in Perth (you're not going to like that bit!) picks up the phone. No automated menus to navigate. Barely ever had a service outage, compared to Optus where our connection on the same infrastructure was down for several hours a week.

Ah but they can't actually be FROM Perth as they are far to helpful and knowledgeable. Probably from the eastern states or Europe

here in scotland i get both phone and internet for £60 per month and thats for unlimited internet use.

could someone advise on there monthly costs.

Do a search on this:
http://whirlpool.net.au/
as the cost will vary a huge amount ADSL 1 available most city areas or ADSL 2
which is not yet readily available everywhere but is far cheaper
All Aussi ISPs are quoted but the pricing may be out of date (unfortunately
found this out yesterday when looking for a better deal )
