Don't hold your breath -- "coming soon" from the phone company means "maybe
in two years". I hate to think of what "reviewing their plans" means.

Well, I'd think twice anyway. Telstra's basic plan (256/64KB, max 250MB) is $85
per month, a bit less if you use them for long distance voice. You can get
better speed & prices using cable.

That's assuming cable is available in your area and useful in your residence - my
apt only has ONE cable outlet in the front room, I'd have to rip up the carpet to
run cable back to the bedrooms - no thanks.  I have phone jacks in every room,
though.

And basic no frills cable is over $30/mo around here, I'd hate to think what it
would cost including net access.
