[plug] [OT] iiNet, ADSL, & Westnet

[Ben Jensz]

One thing to note about iiNet is that I think its as of the 12th of July 
that they will no longer be supporting fast churn.

So if you join iiNet for ADSL and want to change to another provider... 
you're going to be hit with any disconnection charges iiNet might hit 
you with... and then a complete new ADSL installation fee from your new 
ISP (typically $99).  That would also likely leave you without an ADSL 
connection for at least a few days... or possibly longer.
