Are you sure about that? The way I read it, ADSL covers the cost of
broadband access + the cost of one phone line.
BPC Freedom = about $60/month.
Phone line = about $20/month.
ADSL Freedom = $78/month (less than $60 + $20).
I'd switch over if the BPC shared access was the bottleneck and not the Big
Pond Direct connection out of Australia.
