Hi Leon,
iinet's new Explorer ADSL $79.95pcm Traffic 3000M(1000M Peak, 2000M 
Offpeak) seems much the same as Telstra with T chosen as a phone service 
provider except T doesn't care when you download, and I think T reduce it a 
further $5pcm when your contract expires.   Would I be right in guessing 
you are looking at the more expensive options?

Interesting what you say about iinet not having their own DSLAMS.  I wonder 
if the service would have the same 'reliability' or 'uptime' associated 
with Telstra?

Cheers,
Daniel.
