Valid points, though I’d argue paying higher for a local call centre when you shouldn’t need to call your provider that often seems like odd logic.

Great value find there too. IPoE certainly makes changing easier, especially if you’re like me and miss the fine print that PPPoE is required.

And one of the main reasons is a totally local call centre, and people I can understand. They have a great app that you can use to find faults, lots of tools, or even just reboot your Port. So in my mind, it’s more than just about money.

They also have some sign-up bonuses for the higher tiers.

I also have along memory, and remember when Exetel would kick people off their ADSL for complaining about them. They had been in trouble with ACMA a number of times too. I would never chose them!

Editors note: Exetel appear to have been on the receiving end of various notices from ACMA for alleged non-compliance with various rules. A cursory internet search shows that Aussie Broadband has been as well. It’s hardly a point of differentiation.

So churning requires configuring your credentials (one off). If you churn a lot, easier to go with IPoE providers to reduce downtime. I’m currently with Superloop for $99/month (gigabit!).
