<div>The race to the bottom is about prices and then inturn services.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>iiNet cater to one part of the market and Internode to another. However, the market's aren't the same. It wasn't meant to dis-respect anyone just that iiNet with shareholders and profits as an unfortunate piroirty one driver and internode seemed more interested in the providing a type of service that wasn't always about shareholders and profits.</div>

<div>I've always seen iiNet as more of a bulk provider whereas Internode has put more effort into customer service and solid delivery. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>That said, when speaking to friends and family I'd generally end up recommending one of them, and I suppose something like this was inevitable with the rise of TPG. Probably a good thing?</div>

<div>I know it's early days, but I'm very apprehensive about this as an internode customer. I honestly hope ACCC takes a hard look at this.<br><br></div>
