Hi Greg,
  Universal Telecom
http://www.uvtc.com.au/residential/residential_internet_broadband.asp
is offering a similar deal, except they start limiting the speed after
12G rather than 500M and you can pay your bills at the Post Office,
however, I do not know if they support Linux. From personal experience
I know that iPrimus does not; in order to read your e-mail directly
using their website you need a doze box :-(  No probs with Mozilla or
kmail as a client, tho....
TPG http://www.tpg.com.au/ came up with 1.5Mb / 64 plan for some $50 a
month but there might be a catch to it...
