I guess optas net is ok for cable, but in sydney most users of broadband go for other isps.

 

Westnet is at #8 !!!! You are kidding me? They have the best CS anywhere.

There is a few dude (me included). You may wanna checkout http://australianwebmaster.com

 

Dodo have cheap ADSL plans but their customer support is virtually non existant!

 

Yeah, there cable service is actually very stable and good, but i know that it isn't available in all areas, and is very limited in some ... i think

I haven't had any bad experience with Dodo, but my brother is with them at the moment and he says there customer support is crap to.

Go with someone from the first two, I can't say anything about Internode but as I've said, I know iiNet is very good.

Oh and dcristo, thanks for the link to Austalian webmaster.

Cheers,

Heaps of aus ppl about we just all hide in the shadows.

for net, internodes the way to go (has been for me since longer then i can remember).

whirlpool.net.au is good for computer related stuff.

if you looking to buy computer parts
www.itestate.com.au (located near sydney).

and watch "rugby league" not that strange game they play down south. Oh and in the rugby league go for the manly sea eagles its helped me make heaps of friends over the years .

 

Nah league sucks. Espeically Manly !

Sydney FC ! Yeah...now thats a proper team.

 

Are there any boards where you can meet aussies?

 

Im australian.

I think the only downside to being an australian webmaster is that alot of advertising networks dont allow australian webmasters. It is usually USA, Canada and UK. everyone forgets about us aussies
