[AuckLUG] Good ISP for Linux Users - part 2

[John Deverall]

I've been a long term Orcon user and there staff have always been very
good. (Similar to woosh) 

They certainly beat hands down an xtra representative insisting that
they must ask and record ALL your details before triping away to ask
their supervisor what a primary or secondary DNS is....

(I've had this experience)

Hello everyone :)

Not too long ago I asked for opinions about a good ISP for Linux users
and,
with your help, I settled on Woosh for my specific situation.  Thank
you!

Now, my situation is about to change.  I found a permanent apartment and
I
want to sign up for a regular ISP for my home.  I'm still in the CBD and
my
new landlord tells me that I'm very close to the telephone company's
Central
Office.  I've been doing my Web searching and I've narrowed it down to
Orcon
and ihug.

I'm a heavy Internet user.  I'm a Web developer and my work requires a
VPN
connection.  I use P2P heavily (only for open-source software and other
legal downloads, of course :)).  Based on what I've read about products
and
packages offered by various ISPs, I think I'll be better off with Orcon.

Can anyone offer any opinions about Orcon, ihug, or any ISP in the area
that
I might've missed?

Thank you,
    Vince Aggrippino
