Internode used to be a high quality home internet brand.

My understanding is that loyalty is never rewarded for competitive subscription services (gas, eletricity, water, internet, insurance, etc).

I wonder how long until AussieBB enshitifies?

      I was a part of the project team that assimilated ihug into iiNet. Honestly, they were on the verge of falling apart. All their gear was old and it was a lot of work to just keep everything online. The profitable part of the business was the mobile phones, and iiNet absorbing ihug started them on the path of being a contender in the mobile space.

      Had ihug not been bought when they were, their Internet service would have collapsed within a year.

      Still, it was really nice to be stationed in Sydney during the Rugby World Cup. Was that really 20 years ago?
