Yes. But obviously you get what you pay for. Speeds tend to be low at off-peak for exetel.

I find aaNet quite reliable (and eXeTeL has the same kind of business model). Basically, they don't give you value-add services like filtering or free peering (PIPE/WAIX/VAIX et al). Just a connection to the internet, some webhosting and some (occasionally unreliable) email. They also lack quite a bit in the support department (they have community-based help forums to do this). That's where the costs are trimmed.

So I'd recommend them if you're not the type to call support the moment something breaks (they only work business hours IIRC) and don't need those services offered by other companies.

Well i have exetel and my speeds are perfectly fine on and off peak. There exactly the same... no speed difference..
Yes their reliable, although don't expect great customer service as they are new and still growing

Is there anyone who is with iinet and plays games?
Just wondering how the pings are at night time? ( specifically: bored aussies)
I'm with TPG atm and it's ridiculously slow on BA after 6pm ( can't host, spikes non stop) so just wanted to check what other companies have decent deals but have a good net at night.

[excal]

TPG are very well known for their latency issues with games...

If you want to play games check out internode. They have un-metered steam downloads and host a lot of things on their own mirrors. I'm with iPrimus at the moment but I'm waiting for internode to have the plan I want available in my area.

[Hielly]

For internode, do you have to pay via credit card monthly? is there any other option of payments?
