History
Whirlpool started as a pun on the name of Telstra's BigPond cable Internet service. However, it soon expanded to cover Optus' Optus@Home cable Internet service (now known as OptusNet), ADSL based services, and other forms of broadband in Australia as they became available.
The website undergoes occasional re-designs; the most recent re-design included a new logo and was implemented on 3 April 2008.
