please don't get me wrong here, I really have no problem paying for things .. ( well I go without food for a couple of weeks what's more important ? )
but it's the rotten, bloody rotten monopoly in australia that gets up my nose
and yes, before everyone jumps in .. I know it's a big big big country and 4/5 of it has no infrastructure for IT outside of the 1/5 and I don't mind paying a bit more as long as my bit more goes towards the other 4/5 somewhere, somehow...
not in some bloody CEO's already unbelievable huge salary
sorry </rant>

Unlimited 512k would be even nicer, I get a bit tired of staying up until Midnight just so I can start downloading, then I have to get up before 7am to stop the download otherwise it gets charged at peak time.

Go iiNet http://www.iinet.net.au/
-or- If you live in WA you could also consider
WestNet - http://www.wn.com.au/
Arachnet - http://www.arachnet.net.au
Only problem we have with iiNet atm is frequest disconnections - but this could be a fault at Telstra... which wouldn't suprise me.Luke
oh yeah...

I have a couple of clients with http://www.applecomm.net and they have no complaints.. I'm thinking of switching myself, they have an unlimited package as well, just a little slower on the transfer.
