I've only needed help once in the 18 months I've been with my ISP, and 
that was right back when I first connected through them.  This weekend 
just gone they were down for several hours, ostencibly due to some other 
3rd party being down.  That's it in 18 months!  I have a 
1.5m/256k/unlimited traffic (shaped after 20g) account for just 
$50.00/month and the bandwidth seems fine (downloads typically 150 to 
170 kps).  As I said already, I've only needed their help once, and that 
was fine.  I could say more if the service wasn't as good as it seems to 
be so far.  For that price you don't get a fixed IP, but that doesn't 
worry me, as a home user.  Have a look at tpg.com.au  :-)

Btw, I dont work for them, never have worked for them and I don't know 
anyone who does - good service needs a plug (no pun intended)
