Comment on Internode and Westnet shutdown: TPG moves customers to iiNet

Internode used to be a high quality home internet brand

Back when Simon ran it, sure. That’s a looooong time ago though. iiNet also used to be a really good home internet provider. Like Internode, they were an ISP built by techies, for techies.

So far, I’m still happy with Aussie BB. But, they’re listed now. That means they have shareholders to keep happy. That said, on my FTTP, they (very quickly) passed on the nbn price cut to me, which was nice.

@DeltaTangoLima @WaterWaiver I've been on internode but thinking I might move to Aussie Broadband. Last time i needed tech support from Internode after my connection was somehow disabled was an unpleasant weeklong saga

@DeltaTangoLima @WaterWaiver Internode was quality when @NewtonMark was running the network...

  Been with Internode for over 20 years, not looking forward to changing provider…

    Just for internet, or something more complicated? Also it looks like they’re nuking their email service if you’re using that.

    Their mail service has been garbage for 6 months or more now. I have a large IMAP account with them and mail is usually delayed anywhere from one to ten hours. I typically get batch delivery of the previous day’s worth of email around midnight to 2am.
    
    So that’s super fun for all those password reset and account signup emails that expire in 60 minutes…
    
    Finally got fed up with it at the end of November. I built my own mail server with my own domain and for the next few months I’ll be slowly migrating my 20 years of signups using my internode email to my new account.

    I have a power plan with static IP (host my own servers) etc.
    
    Will be interesting to see if that gets brought across. If not it looks like Aussie BB can cover those requirements if needed.

  Now there’s a name I haven’t heard since my SAGE-AU days…
