    Default Cheap/reliable Internet Plan

    Hey Guys, I am after a cheap internet plan for my missus' shop, she currently has dialup which is about to expire. Was hoping to get her broadband? if not cheap dialup will do. She only checks Email and a little surfing, so she doesnt need much. Her phone is with telstra if that makes a difference. I have looked at Whirlpool, but was hoping for somepersonal experience.
    Cheers

    I think the plan is good but they don't look afer thier customers like the previous owners. They seem to change plans and up the price all the time now. If you go with them use me as a referer lol I get 5 bucks off my plan!

    I've been with them for 4 yrs and they had a major mail server failure a couple of years ago and lost a lot of mail. They did an upgrade a couple of months ago and I thought the same thing happened again but it was all restored after 3-4 days. I don't think thier upgrade went as smoothly as it could. Moral to the story, don't leave mail on the server - download it regularly.
