Whirlpool is an independent Australian website founded in 1998. Since then, it has grown significantly and has over 907,000 registered accounts. Primarily a discussion forum, some extra functionality such as Broadband Choice was included, although this functionality has been removed from the site. Whirlpool began as a community resource for users of Telstra's BigPond cable Internet service; the name Whirlpool was a parody of BigPond. However, it soon expanded to cover Optus' Optus@Home (now known as OptusNet) cable internet service, ADSL-based services, and other forms of broadband ISPs in Australia as they became available.
