Australia is pretty dodgy for internet (Oz word for crap) speaking as someone who moved from the US. I pay $140 a month for 80GB download per month via ADSL. That gets me 80GB anytime of day and only downloads are counted against the quota. Most deals down here are half the price but you get only a tiny fraction say 20GB during the day and during the wee hours of the AM for maybe a 4-6 hour block when you can't possibly use it, you get the rest of your quota say 60GB.
Speed was promised 20-24Mbit range, I'm getting only about 5-6Mbit range. In the US I paid $39 for about 7-10Mbit over cable for unlimited usage anytime. I was doing average 150GB data per month but the service crapped out during big rain storms that flooded the cable boxes which are underground out on the front eavesment area. Don't get me started about mobile service here, 1GB on my phone account is $79, but for the next 1GB of data transfer the fine details on the paperwork means its $20,000.00 for the next GB. I upped my mobile phone contract to $100 per month to get 5GB data and make sure I stay under that. Voice you get $520 worth of calls but they bill each minute out at .80 cents. Yes its disgusting compared to what we are used to in the US. Network access within Australia is fast, once you go overseas it slows down quite a bit but is still useable for most web browsing, not as nice as staying local for data transfers though. Still, what can you do, the people down here don't complain and if they do thats where it ends, hardly ever does it mean any action, and never anything like a class action lawsuit.
