Looks like we've hit the limit of HN's indented conversations. I've brought too many topics into one thread - sorry.

Thanks for the info.

The RIP was for Internode (high-end, first to roll out IPv6 in Australia, actual tech support), which is now owned by TPG (budget, over-subscribed).

I grew up outside Adelaide, so I know who they are, or were it seems.

I thought iiNet bought Internode a few years ago?

iiNet bought Internode (after buying Westnet and TransACT), then TPG bought iiNet. They own a scary number of Australian ISPs and infrastructure now.
