iiNet DSL
iiNet DSL is somewhat limited in the area it covers, but light to medium users can expect fairly good value in terms of data allowance compared to price. Heavier users may find better value elsewhere, though, as the plans for iiNet DSL that provide larger data allowances are quite costly compared to the offerings of some other DSL providers.
The best value on iiNet DSL is definitely found on bundled plans for ADSL2+ services, which is quite common amongst DSL providers. These plans count only downloads against allowances, provide a reasonable amount of data for the price, and the bundled plans offer much better value compared to similarly priced unbundled plans. This is much better than what can be found for Naked iiNet DSL, which counts both uploads and downloads against allowances.
Naked Business iiNet DSL offers a large range of plans to cater to the needs of many businesses. While obviously more costly than home packages, Naked Business iiNet DSL offers much higher data allowances on some plans while also providing a static IP address. Uploaded data is counted along with downloaded data, though, so if your business does a lot of uploading it may be worth looking for a plan that does not charge uploads.
The shaping policy of iiNet DSL may rub some users the wrong way. Rather than shaping either peak or offpeak periods according to which has reached its limit, iiNet DSL shapes your total time once the limit of either period has been reached. This could mean some interesting balancing near the end of the month to avoid going over the data allowance of any period. On the upside, iiNet DSL offers a range of things that are not shaped, even when you exceed your monthly limit. These include iiNet DSL game servers, Free News and the iiNet DSL FTP server. For gamers especially, this could be good news, as long as iiNet DSL provides a server for some appropriate games.
Light and medium users of ADSL2+ iiNet DSL who are willing to bundle are the most likely to find the best value in choosing iiNet DSL.
