I signed up with Chariot about 2 months ago. Everything is fine expect every now and then it seems to drop out. But it could be the line or my computer.

But when its working its fine. Its $60 per month for 12GB o a 512k line.

If you bundle your home phone, mobile and cable. Optus is the way to go $65 per month, 12 gig and 4 months free per year.

Netspace, 1.5Mbp/s 10 Gig Limit though.. $70 per month.

They took just under a week to connect though, which really annoyed me. But the service people seemed to know what they were talking about.

Definatly check out internode. We have them at home and couldn't be happier. The company I work for is changing over all its internet connections to internode as well.
