Hey,

This was always coming, Optus sold off Dingoblue to some Gas company and
they couldn't stand waiting several years to make a single dollar out of
Dingoblue. 

This is because it is $27.50 a month for the service and a usual ISP has
charges like, Onramp 30 rentals which are the lines, costs of
cisco's/tigris'/ascend's, support costs, data costs. It all add's up and
for $27.50 I can't see how they would really EVER make a dollar out of
that service continuing unlimited.

May have always been the case to go out sell unlimited, get customers
and then enforce limit's and lose maybe 30% of it's customers.

The only real option is *gasp* Telstra ADSL if you want unlimited
everything, but be careful of the AUP.
