Mainstream Providers

Telstra Big Pond (my.bigpond.com) and Telecom Xtra (jetstream.xtra.co.nz)

Other AUS Providers, like Dodo Australia (www.dodo.com.au) has a 70 MB Cap !?!? for $9.90.

While we are compared with UK, USA, etc. , it must be remembered that we really should be compared to Australia. Similar issues are found their, i.e. sparsely spread populations, suburban spaces, smaller market, distance from main internet content providers. There must be similar infrastructure

While we are doing our Telecom bashing, think about our poor souls in Australia who weem to have as bad a deal as us.
