<p>I presume there are a lot of other PLUG members who use a TPG
group ISP like I do.</p>
<p>It looks like iinet (and all TPG companies) are dropping all
email services (but apparently not dropping prices) and are force
migrating people to a commercial company - free for now but ...</p>
<p>The migration so far looks like a rolling disaster from some TPG
focused forums I read. Like almost everyone I have a google email
address but is there a reasonable Australian ISP in Perth that
still carries email? Telstra and Optus have never been "good" in
my opinion. I also run my home phone through them via asterisk
and have mobiles with them - I am not sure they would consider
them core services either. I do not store any email at iinet -
they provide imap pickup (I run a local mail gateway), a couple of
email aliases, provide virus and spam protection but that's it.<br>
</p>
Its looking like my best option is to stay with iinet (for now) and
migrate away from iinet starting with email.<br>
<p>What are others considering?</p>
