I recently left Internode ($110 with 100/20 mb and static IP), as it 
seemed they're shutting Internode down with no migration plan.I started 
looking around and settled on Exetel, so far so good. I have only been 
with Extel for about 2 weeks.

100/40 mbit plan for $75 for first 6 months then $89 onwards. You also 
get 5 speed boosts a month, yet to test this out. I belive it boost's up 
to 250Mbps. What hooked me was the free static IP.

I can send you a referal code if you're interested.
