I have to change ISPs and it's increasingly difficult to find one in my

Does Optus provide for your area?


Why yes they do. Is that a recommendation?

They are very reliable on the technical side, as big a nightmare
as any other big company to communicate with, the former quality
making the latter less of a problem. Yes, sure. My service has
been rock solid and there seem endless amounts of newsgroups
available (hopelessly wasted on me, I look at about 3 groups!
This may or may not surprise you).

But Blinkey knows all about this stuff and given you are in the
country and there's no water and nothing to do, you might need
something more comprehensive re usenet and follow his advice? <g>
