That's just overloading of the local exchange.. TPG are pretty notorious for it as they're kinda cheap about adding new nodes when they overcrowd. According to some people on whirlpool you can try threatening to get the consumer watchdog involved because the service isn't acceptable half the time, and they may shunt you onto a different node with less congestion (no guarantees about how close that would be to you physically, so it may be more stable but slower because of greater distance).

All ADSL plans can (and sometimes do) have similar problems from time to time.

TPG was 59.95 a month, adsl2+ unlimited, VOIP phone which i don't need.

Telstra here is minimum $100.00 lol?

Most are so expensive compared to the 59.95 I was paying bleh.

Internode, I have been with them for 6+ years without a major issue. I realise internode is a part of iinet but their customer service is fantastic. Would recommend.

I am with iinet. I find they constantly DC me and then i come back on a slower (both up and down) connection. I reset the modem and normally that fixes it. Different problem I know, but I have used iinet, telstra and optus and every single one of htem is the same. shit just gets crap during peak periods.
