Wow that's terrible service, before sales too! If you've included all
the text from both yours and AmNet's emails, that person is clearly
showing they don't want your business. I'd say try with another
employee, maybe this one has a chip on their shoulder or just needs to
learn some more customer-facing skills. You've clearly got an active
phone service with Telstra, so need to check whether your exchange has
other providers' DSLAMs in them - http://adsl2exchanges.com.au/  In
fact, having ADSL2+ with AmNet obviously they have presence in the
exchange!
>From there you can find out if they offer Naked (if that's what you
want) or what other service combinations you might be happy with.

Good luck,
Greg.
