Swiftel plan on delivering thier service to the NT in Feb. That's another good isp to keep an eye on.

100 bucks per month for 1500/256 12gig plan!!!. Uploads free, only $6 per excess gig. To put that into perspective, that Westnet charge $60 for each excess gig. Which is about the norm for most isp's.
edit - Shit, after doing some more reading about swiftel they would have to be the best adsl isp in OZ atm :shock: . The only thing they lack is free game servers and d/l mirrors. In the next 6 months though they plan on making all thier game servers free plus setting up more servers for games and adding in d/l mirrors. Also, P2P within your state is free which prolly aint that great for NT :/. Go to Whirlpool forums as well and you'd be hard pressed to find one bad thing said about Swiftel. Come Feb I think I might change from internode to swiftel...they look pretty sweet.

hmm it'd be tempting to change.. depends on 'setup' or 'connection' fee for me... i've only just got over the "39 from internode last month :D

I think if Internode support churn then with swiftel it's a connection fee of $50. Just transfers you over to swiftel instead of doing the whole installation thing again.
Not sure if Internode support churn.
I don't have any complaints with internode, they rock. Although for what im paying with internode I could get a 1500/256 connection speed and an extra 4gig a month with swiftel. Plus, swiftel have EXTREMELY low excess usage charges. Not that I would probably go over 12gig a month but just nice to know that if I do want to go over by alittle it'll only cost a couple bucks not 20+ bucks. That kind of stuff makes it tempting to make the change even though I have no complaints with internode.

Swiftel were a joke when they first started IIRC.
may have cleaned up their act though.
