  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.

        Yeah i’m 90% done in that process with my ihug acct. It’s not fun.

        Make sure you set gmail or similar secondary backup with your domain registrar

        I’ve been using a shared hosting provider for my email. I’d love to hear how your self host goes. I know there are some loud opinions on the web about how hosting your own email is hard, but also some quieter ones that say it’s working fine for them and isn’t any harder than deploying something like MailInABox.

      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.

        I’m on a semi-static IP. It has never changed (3 years now) but might theoretically. An actual static ip is an extra $5/mon addon last I checked.

        When I signed up I was on CGNAT (default for all new customers). I called them, explained why this didn’t work for me and they changed me to a proper IPV4 address without any hassle.

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