I am using Internode with no problems.
Setup dialup modem with pppconfig., Just type sudo pppconfig in a 
terminal and follow the prompts.
You can leave the "provider as is, and connect with  pon   and 
disconnect with   poff

Internode did introduce some new anti spam software that caused a few 
problems that caused some problems with passwords when sending emails, 
but they have all been solved. If that is your problem, let me know and 
I will forward their bulletin to you.
