You probably have a siemens modem/router and hence are on a 10.0.0.0
style subnet.
odds on the router is at 10.0.1.138 or something like that.
anyway, you can probably make that work, but your connection won't do
the same as the other providers. It will be PPPoE, and you will only get
a /30 routed to you if you are on Bigpond Direct (for a massive fee of
course). At this stage, the other providers are looking like the best
bet for the same network config. Of course, it all depends on what you
are actually trying to achive.
