unlimited dialup for me (albeit at 28.8k max), on a bloody RIM so can't get dsl connected at my new house :( and to make matters worse it's non integrated, hence the slow dialup

TPG 256 Unlimited.

I didn't upgrade to 1.5 in time, so now I'm stuck with my 256 if I want unlimited as they don't offer it anymore. Damn it!

Oh well, at least I can still do 20gb+ a month and not worry about extra fees :

I'm still stuck on Dial Up. I hate it.
I'd love to get rid of the house phone all together and go with cable internet but when I mentioned disconnecting the phone to the Mrs she started to hyperventilate and go funny colours so I guess I won't be getting that!

Crappy dialup, crappy connection, get booted several times a night. Sometimes I wonder if it's telstra's way of saying "get on broadband ya tossers"

$74 per 3 months unlimited everything...but as soon as funds allow i think broadband will be the go, the g/f's family is in qld and both want the phone line at once!

ADSL 256/64 6 GB a month. I hardly use 2 GB per month.

Wish I could find a plan for ADSL 512/128 3 GB limit for $40.00 a month max. Anyone know of any?
