rumours are of woolies (safeway) and internode entering the market via
optus also (cites IT sections in various editions of Financial Review)

I have Telstra/Bigpond after having tried Virgin and Soul (Optus
rebadged). Originally it worked under Linux fine but the modem got
flaky and needs replacement, now it requires a fair bit of jiggling to
get working. The replacement center is in Prestons and I haven't made
it out there to get a replacement (they did send me a prepaid post
baggie to use but I'd rather take it in myself).
It's expensive but gives me the best coverage. My coverage
requirements are more than most, I need it to work out on the harbour
as well as up at the Hawkesbury and at least a reasonable distance off
shore. Neither Virgin nor Optus made it out that far. The coverage
is rock solid and the speed is good but you have to pay for it. I
have the 10GB non-capped plan, I didn't realise they did a
capped/shaped plan.
The telstra plans are here:
