Approximately $70 will grant 3 Gb D/L per month on Optus Broadband cable. That's on a 1.5 year contract & you have to also get their phone on (another 20 per month) for 1.5 years. And - then - after all of this - you get to pay only about $200 installation fee (though this does include the modem).
Optus; they're the friendly ones who don't charge for overthrows on the bandwidth quota.
Telstra - the other major lading / competing provider charges ridicuolous amounts for extra bandwidth.
Our household were the proud owners of a $400 bill the first month they applied the policy.
It's possible we're the most screwed country of the lot on this issue. More bandwidth!

Holy Telstra Suckage.
Let them not become fully privatised.
