This company is one of the top 5 motherfuckers out there. These guys, on the basis that they OWN the Australian backbone, pitiful as it is, continue to rip and extort poor consumers as is the nature of large evil corporations.

Of course, the fair trading act has now forced them to allow any commercial organisation to make use of the backbone, but this hasn't stopped them from continuing to attempt to extort Australians till we bleed money from our ears.

They charge 25 cents for a local phone call, which isn't too shabby. However their broadband service is insane. Only recently due to the first appearance of competition they abolished their 100 meg per month limit on cable service.

However they still see it fit to cap the download limit to 50 kilobytes per second, the upload at 16, and force us to buy old technology - cable modems that don't work on any other service and are brought over from America because you they're to old to be of use anymore.

In essence, they are the equivalent of AOL, except too damn stupid to follow their tracks
