Aside from the quota, that's pretty standard.

I don't have much experience with Telstra's BigPond, but from what I've heard of friends' experiences, the service is pretty dodgy and unreliable.

From your perspective, Chris...

Here ISDN was the only really option to get flat rate. As too many people subscribed they axed that flat rate offer again after 2 months (around 40 euro IIRC).
ADSL got a cap of 1 or 2 GB/month for 70 euro cost or so.
Cable also more likely has a cap than not.
I am fortunate enough to be with a small cable provider that does fair use for less then the adsl cost ) , but that is pure luck (had to wait 2 more years OTOH till he finally got it right and it still isn't exactly very stable. Using my 56k modem often enough as a backup).

Here it's something like $100 a channel (so $100 for single channel, $200 for dual) for ISDN a month... It's been $40 a month for DSL and Cable for years.

above prices in Canadian dollars

$40 Canadian for Cable/DSL is really cheap.

Yeah it's great... and you can get it anywhere that's slightly populated.

Bah, you slow little snails with your inferior kiddie cables! I got a Cray 167mega-gagillion-morethanScroogeMcDuck-thousand with a Tesla antenna on my roof!! If you think that's scary, look at what the US Department of Defense has.
