I use Optus cable at the moment, with a bundle price of $49 or so from
memory (I have an Optus mobile phone).

I¹ll be moving to Wembley shortly, and the address to which I'm moving
doesn't have access to Optus cable according to the Optus web site, only
DSL. I want to try and avoid DSL because I don't need a landline, so don't
want to pay for something I don't need.

The address has access to Bigpond cable, but not only do Bigpond prices look
expensive, but I've always been anti-Telstra since too many bad experiences
in their monopoly days.

I'm currently on Optus's 'yes' Advantage plan, which has a 7GB monthly
download allowance, plus another 14GB offpeak, which is about right for my
usage.  I prefer to have data speeds choked rather than start paying
extortionate excess usage charges.

I checked Virgin Broadband, but that has only a 2GB download limit without
extra charges, plus requires a home phone.

The other consideration I have is that I'm not sure how long I'll be at the
Wembley address, so I'm not overly keen to get tied into long term
contracts.

Anyone have suggestions for other ISPs I should explore?

Cheers, Steven
