Think yourself lucky you're not here in the UK. BT was privatised
with an even more useless and toothless regulator than Australia.
There's a 3-6 month lead time on DSL, if you're lucky. When it
finally arrives, it's apparently incredibly unreliable. It's also 60
quid/month for the consumer version. Starts at 100 quid for
"business" (ethernet rather than USB). 100 quid ~= AU$280
