Internode <3

Best. ISP. Ever.

I signed up on Thursday at 3pm expecting to wait up to a week for my DSL connection because I completely cancelled my service with TPG, as well as my phone line with Telstra. Friday morning 7am I get a text message saying my internet connection is ready to go. I already have a modem ready to go (Dynalink RTA 1320) I’m connected to the infamous OXEN exchange. Some users connected to this exchange are getting very bad speeds because of the massive amount of congestion on this specific exchange so I was expecting to get bad speeds as well, or at least nothing above 8mbps (ADSL1 speed).

To my surprise I’m getting 13mbps which is a huge deal for me. I was always on 1.5mbps so this is great. I’m also getting an upload speed of 1mbps so that is fantastic. The unmetered content that Internode has to offer is also amazing! All the game servers, file mirrors, iView, Tivo etc. I love how I can find my favourite shows like Diggnation on the Internode file mirror and download it without worrying about my usage. I can also download game demos and full games off steam without worrying about the download size.

All in all, Internode is an awesome ISP. Some might not like the prices but it is well worth the money. The customer service is unbelievably good – “It’s like they actually care” so if you’re looking for a change of ISP definitely check out Internode. Their ADSL services are available nationwide, and if you’re lucky you might be able to get ADSL extreme where you live.
