Pretty damn good from TPG:
http://www.tpg.com.au/products_services/.../homephone
Is 150+350GB on/off peak (latter is only like 5 hours or so of the day, so you'll probably need to schedule).  Can pay an additional $10/mo for 500GB any time.
The fact that it includes line rental makes it win.  1Mbps shaping even better.

Downside is that it's only available to some places, but if you're lucky...

...I can't get it though - sucks.

Service area limitations For the loss.

I felt 10MB >> 3MB = No Download-related Multi-tasking. (YouTube is still spoon anyway)

You're on 3Mbps?

ADSL2+ is rated at 24Mbps, but no-one gets that fast.  10Mbps is probably a more practical speed, some people get less.
A lot of more rural areas in Australia can't get anything better than dialup or satellite.

1.5mbps, 12GB cap, counts both up and down.  Capped speed is 64kbps.

I'm pretty close to the exchange, so I should be able to get decent speeds.

:O

Ask other family member?


In other (personal) news, this made me look at what other plans are available, given the sh*t speeds I get a night here.  Seems that Exetel have removed their phone bundling requirement for ADSL1?  Might churn over to the $40/mo plan (1.5Mbps 15GB peak + 120GB off-peak) and see how it goes.  Currently on a $40/mo TPG plan (512Kbps 30GB peak + 30GB off-peak; family rarely uses more than 3GB/mo for general browsing; off-peak is 5hrs/day for TPG and 6hrs/day for Exetel).
