First one… and it won't be for everyone.
ii has (finally) updated its plans. For existing customers that have their phone bundled, there's an early Christmas (i've gone from 65GB to 120GB for the same price).

Summary between old and new:
Residential plans - http://www.iinet.net.au/products/wp-summary-tables.pdf
Business plans - http://www.iinet.net.au/products/wp-summary-tables-bus.pdf

Upgrade for existing customers - https://toolbox.iinet.net.au/?upgrade_plan=1

It must be said that there are plans out there with other providers that are more GB for your buck… but this is a decent increase in some of the existing plans.

    Well I gain 25 Gig and lose 4 hours of off peak time. This is actually better for us for when I occasionally go over quota it is either a) on off peak time and it is therefore throttled in the mornings when my wife wants to use the internet or b) go over peak limit which has increased by a massive 20 gig!! So that wont be happening again. Only possible downside could be not having enough off peak hours in the day to get stuff I DL but that is pretty unlikely as most of it comes down very quickly and worse case towards the end of the month I can schedule stuff in peak times as well given it has triple in quota!

    Havign said all that and being happy with it, I do agree somewhat that this is not really a bargin as such, just iiNet keeping up with the cheaper and larger DL limits of other ISPs.

    Its a downgrade to me :(

  • slamdunka on 16/12/2009 - 21:31

    Mine went from 25+45 to 60+60 off peak 1am-9am

    Was looking at changing to Exetel to. This might hold it off for a bit. If only they would get rid of uploads counting in their naked plans.

    And shaping. I WISH they would charge me $1.50 a gig when I go over.

  • lo200 on 16/12/2009 - 21:41

    Its an extra 15gig peak and 10gig offpeak for me on the Naked 3 plan so I am happy with this deal.
    And for all those people who say iiNet is more expensive than TPG its all about quality. My cousin is on TPG and only lives two doors down always gets dropouts, it doesn't just annoy him but annoys me too when he drops out in the middle of a game of DoTA we are playing.

    Was good for me.
    Was able to drop from H6 to H5, saving $30/month, but keeping the same d/load amount and doubling the shaping speed.
    … and for some reason they waived the $19 downgrade fee….

    Doesn't seem to work out so well for everyone, but in my case it is good.

    edit - oh, and the peak/off peak change won't really make a difference to me.

  • rockycape on 16/12/2009 - 22:10

    Very happy with iinet, good speed, good service, good quota free downloads

    iiNet are consistently the fastest ISP I have used over here, they may be expensive but you pay for the decent service and spot on tech support (from an english speaking technician).

    +'ve from me

  • WatchDog on 17/12/2009 - 01:48

    The prices just aren't even close to offerings from exetel and tpg.
    The only reason i would use iinet is because of their stance on privacy.
    They may have better support, but this doesn't really bother me.

  • forenzic on 17/12/2009 - 08:11

    no bargain here, move along please

  • Filipe on 17/12/2009 - 11:54

    IInet is worth considering for me, solely because of the free premierleague streams that come with an account (and the fact that they're unmetered). I was thinking about cancelling my foxtel and subscribing to the official fox sport streams for about $20 a month, but I'm throwing up between TPG's 60/60 plan + $20 fox sports subscription or iinet's 60/60 plan.
    Both are $70 a month (provided i bundle with iinet), so there really is very little seperating the two given my personal scenario.

    Any opinions?

    • sloppy on 17/12/2009 - 14:40

      Official fox sports stream for about $20 a month?? I've never heard of that before … do you have any more info??

      • Filipe on 22/12/2009 - 16:03

        Even though I doubt you'll see this, I found the link for you:
        http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/epl/ondemand

        Not all of the games are streamed live, but you can watch the on demand ones around 6 hours after kick off (which isn't too bad IMO).

        • sloppy on 22/12/2009 - 16:43

          You never know, maybe I will …

          Thanks mate :)

    NO COMPLAINTS FROM ME!!!!!!!!

    Old plan home 7
    70 / 90 total 160 ~$130 2am-12noon(like hell id be using offpeak that late lol)

    New plan home 7
    90/90 total 180 same price offpeak starts earlier 1am but ends quicker at 9am
    BUT they have given an extra 20GB in peak to offset it.

    got my phone with them. their shaping speeds is still crap.

    So for me this works out fine :D

    damn how i miss japan….1Gbps to home fibreoptic cable, no transfer limits, $70 a month :(

  • jordanface on 17/12/2009 - 17:03

    This was quite good for me since I bundle my phone with iiNet. Went from 25/40GB to 60/60GB. :) And I like that off peak starts an hour earlier now too!

  • benaiah on 17/12/2009 - 17:38

    I have been with iinet for 15years. They have had their ups and downs. I have had line problems and have waited for 15mins plus for an operator to help but they really shook up the market with their bliink plans and shaping. But sadly are now big and fat with their market share and are just like telstra.

    If ping wasn't so important to me I might have changed ages ago. Know heaps of customers giving TPG a go. Yes they have some network issues but for everything except gaming / mission critical servers they are brilliant. oh and static ip's for free!

    If this is the best iinet can offer, I think in the new year I will sadly be departing in search of a better deal.

  • techagile on 18/12/2009 - 13:42

    Thanks Mate, it a good deal. I saved $10 and my data download limit is doubled.

    Cheers,

  • Bill Sneddon on 19/12/2009 - 01:53

    Really poor value. Naked 5 business remains the same whats the point? You can get unlimited Telstra Business ADSL 2 for $299/mth + 20 for line rental same difference. I've also been affected by slow speeds as listed on their network status page since September and they have no bloody idea how to fix it.

    They are the new Telstra

  • nani on 19/12/2009 - 14:29

    Has any current iinet clients received an email informing them of these changes? I sure haven't, rather poor form on their part?

    • sloppy on 19/12/2009 - 18:58

      Actually, yes … I just got an email from them an hour or so after you posted this.

      Said I could "upgrade" immediately by clicking a link, or my account would automatically upgrade in around 30 days. Looked long and hard for some kind of "opt out of the upgrade" link, but to no avail ;)

    • pais on 23/12/2009 - 03:24

      Yep - got slapped with a forced upgrade! I'm not too phased, an extra 3GB peak, reduced offpeak (for those bitching, get a scheduler, seriously) and slightly better shaping.

      I'm annoyed that they didn't just grandfather all of the plans, but I guess their new deals are more focussed towards bundles and also (especially) naked customers. Definitely something I'm going to have to look into.

  • okay on 20/12/2009 - 16:38

    My dad is currently on this iinet plan:
    Broadband

    Monthly charge for Home 5 service
    for the period 27/12/2009 to 27/01/2010. $69.95

    Phone

    Phone 1 Residential service ** **** **** calls until
    11/12/2009 $3.78
    089xxxxxx: Home Access Monthly charge for the period
    27/12/2009 to 27/01/2010 $29.95
    089xxxxxx: Silent number Monthly charge for the period
    27/12/2009 to 27/01/2010 $2.93

    VoIP

    Monthly charge for iiTalkpack service ** **** **** for the
    period 27/12/2009 to 27/01/2010. $20.00
    iiTalkpack service ** **** **** calls until 11/12/2009 $4.35

    Total New Charges $130.96

    The phone charges seem very expensive, is there anything that's better value out there? I don't even understand what half those phone charges are for. I know he's paying $70/month for 60/60 plan which is only $50 a month with TPG, but we can't get TPG in our area so I think we'll stick with iiNet for broadband.

    Mod - removed phone number.

              @POWERevolution: PRev removed these extra lines - BTW best way to alert us is to use the report button (under each post/comment) that way we get flagged, rather than I just saw this wandering thru some recent posts

              Thanks from the Mods - I guess also from their dad ;-)

  • imp on 22/12/2009 - 22:11

    -1 for TPG customer service.
    My parents have been with TPG for 7years on ADSL 1 plan - paying $29 a month for only 1Gb at 256. They just got emails saying they would be upgraded to ADSL2 and offering to sell them ADSL2 modems etc. I went and bought them a new Netgear modem/wireless router in preparation when they got an email from TPG saying ADSL2 would be connected in 3-5 days. Weeks later and they are still at 256 and after several phone calls, they have been told they can not get ADSL2 as they are on a substation. They have been arguing with TPG ever since - suggesting TPG should at least offer them an upgrade in speed and limit to match the ADSL2 plan they were supposed to be on.

    +1 for Iinet.
    Never had any issues in 8 years with them. Tech support is great if you need it. regular upgrades in limits. Dont like these new changes however. limit increase is nice, but the offpeak times are barely worth having.
