That's true - they know that business customers need ADSL more so they don't 
need to make it as enticing to get them signed up. I would say that there are 
enough of us holding out for a decent ADSL offer that the first ISP to 
actually provide a decent package will probably do quite well.

The current offer from iinet is at least an improvement on the traffic limit. 
Not enough for me to rush out and get ADSL yet. The problem for me is that 
(a) you get a dynamic IP address and (b) you have to sign up for 12 months. 
The problem with signing up for 12 months is that once you've signed up 
they've got no reason to give you a good quality service at a competitive 
rate.

Tell me - why do you want multiple IP addresses - aren't you just being 
greedy? All you really need is one good one that stays put.
