Well, I guess they have to make the most of the limited resources 
available to them. It was never written anywhere when you signed up for 
iiNet "service" that they had to supply you local mirror sites.

I must admit though, it gave me a little twinge of satisfaction to be 
able to extend my middle finger to them and move all my services across 
to another ISP/self hosting.

I have not had such an error/hassle free continuity of service since 
before Omen was acquired.
