Internode and Westnet shutdown: TPG moves customers to iiNet - eviltoast

Internode used to be a high quality home internet brand.

My understanding is that loyalty is never rewarded for competitive subscription services (gas, eletricity, water, internet, insurance, etc).

I wonder how long until AussieBB enshitifies?

    The end of an era indeed.

    Internode WOULD NOT move you off a grandfathered plan.

    I rode that until I had to move somewhere without FTTP :-(

      Any recommendations as an alternative? I don’t think I should surf them into the next repurchase?

          You can also add Exetel, which is owned by Superloop and uses their infrastructure (so has a lot of the same benefits).

        For online gaming, Superloop and their reseller Exetel are particularly good as they take the fastest route to Asia. You’ll get significantly lower ping on Tokyo-based servers, which opens up more options if you play competitive PvP games or MMOs. Others like Aussie Broadband only take that route one way so you’ll have higher ping overall.

        I use launtel, I pay a premium i think, but I don’t know because I’ve go no desire to change.
