School holidays and Telecom. A vision of service excellence! I keep getting chucked unceremoniously off Xtra at frequent intervals. My Dick Smith modem and my patience are sorely tried by this rejection...

Do they do domain hosting? Are they more reliable than the Evil Empire?

You can use your current phone line, we'll chuck a filter on so you can still use the phone AND connect to the Internet, and you can get one of the cheaper plans, as I would imagine your total traffic volume isn't huge.

Telstra's not much better mate...
What really gets me is they do it deliberately (and a whole bunch of other shit too) to 'encourage you' to got to broadband... Fair pisses me off!

Ferkin Xtra, indeed.
Adjectives fail me, so I will state here a simple description of fact.
Halfway through last month I telephoned the Xtra Jetstream helpdesk and asked to be switched from a 256Kbps plan to a 2Mbps plan.
Three weeks after the start of the '2Mbps' billing cycle, and over a month since I originally spoke to them, several hours of me sitting on hold listening to homicidal-tendency-inducing Christmas music and three (THREE!) separate "yes, sir, we'll call you back at xx o'clock today to confirm the fix" conversations that never eventuated in a call-back later, my connection is still throttled to 256Kbps.
Naturally, I'm being *billed* at the higher rate.

we changed over to orcon a couple of weeks ago on the account Antallica mentioned. The first week there was a lot of stuffing around an a few periods where we had no internet access (aparently telecom's fault), but now it seems to be going well
I'd hate to have to go back to a modem.
Crikey, blakamin, it must be hard staying below the 10GB cap if you do any filesharing...

Had that when I went from 2mbit to 10mbit... took telstra/paradise 20 mins to fix over the phone and rebooting modem.... and I got a discount.... tell xtra to get F**KEDFerkin Xtra, indeed.

Too many of us are relying on good old Telecom wires. I've been with Paradise since their beginning but they, nor their various incarnations since, ever laid a cable in our dear suburb.
My son because of his work has now signed up with Slingshot, but you guessed it, we have to get adsl service through Telecom and they were due to sort it by 24/12 and we are still waiting.
My 56k modem using Paradise by the way has been excellent - never any dumping off or anything like that.
Cheers
