AAISP may appear to cost a little more but it's definitely a case of getting what you paid for. I was tired of dodgy connections, traffic shaping, blocked ports and patronising, dumbed-down service, so I was pleased to find AAISP.
I've been extremely satisfied with the service so far. The line is stable and up 100%. I'm provided with fine-grained information about my line and usage. The static IP and the lack of filtering and traffic-shaping means I feel like I'm actually connected to the Internet, rather than being granted limited permission to access it.
What little customer support I've needed has been prompt and precise. There's a general air of competence about everyone I've come into contact with.
If you want an ISP that treats you like a peer, then AAISP comes very highly recommended.
Also, my welcome pamphlet had a picture of a cat on the front. :D
