edit - did a quick search ....... TPG owns merged with Voda & owns iinet.


Who bought out Vodafone?
Vodafone Australia became a subsidiary of TPG Telecom after the merger between Vodafone Hutchison Australia Limited and TPG Corporation Limited, in July 2020.

They will contact you eventually with a great Vodaphone deal, just did it a few months back, was happily with iinet for the last 10 years, but more for less with Voda is a better deal including phones.

Does anyone use ISP email addresses anyway? Down side is you lose portability. If you have a generic email account, such as Gmail or Yahoo, you can swap and change ISPs to your hearts content without having to update your email address all the time. Pain in the bum process that is!

Been with iinet since they bought out Adam internet, whenever that was. Many moons ago.

Can't remember the last time I needed to contact my isp, other than to renew/change plans.

Zero issues.

Same.
In fact I think I started with picknowl (?). Cant recall now, was that bought up by Adam?


I have signed up with the free Messaging Service.
I received an email to tell me registration has been received but no contact since.

The transition from iinet to the Messaging Service appears to have occurred seamlessly.
