This week the news broke that the ISP owner by SP Telemedia (Soul) will be joining forces with TPG networks.

In the past I have used TPG for my internet access, and while their prices might be alright their service was less than average. over the 6 months I was with TPG for my internet, I had multiple drop outs each day. Their customer service is not full of service, the same as their tech support, due to out sourcing of both,  are the same.

While Soul's prices were higher than TPG, and TPG is one of the fastest providers rolling out ADSL 2+ fast internet access I can't see their merger as anything more than another ISP I won't use or recommend to any one else.
