Wayne,
good point.  this list gets so much dribble and slanging  between industry
sparring partners....  it used to be worthwhile, but lately...   it is a sad
indictment on the industry.

Anyway, we use Enetica.  can't recommend them highly enough.  They seem to
practice what  others may preach.  extremely  good service, reasonable
pricing.

As for melbourne IT,  in my opinion,  they have gone so low lately -  still
sending out renewals way in advance just like the other shonky operators.
they confuse the market they spent so much time patronising.  sad really.

cheers
richard
