If you are willing to sign up your home phone with them and you are in
an enabled area, you can get ADSL2+ through iinet, who offer quota
free mirrors (ubuntu are there - probably other linux distros too) and
gaming. If you dont transfer your home phone you get the same package
on ADSL1.

I pay $40 a month for 4Gb on- and 4Gb off-peak, and see 1 megabyte/sec
to the iinet mirror :D Ten dollars more gets you 10Gb/10Gb

I use the iinet branded wireless router from Belkin, which works very
well and has VOIP builtin. No help for you on the baby montor front
though :D
