America isn't that bad. Australia costs more and has caps.

I pay $99.95 a month for 400gb data 24mbit ADSL2 , which syncs at 15mbit anyway.

i pay 70 for 50 gb and 20 mbps but i end up with 4mbps. And i got an new adsl2 rounter. An new adsl2 filter but i am still losing that 16 mbps. I dont even reach the 10 mbps average. Well i live in an old suburb 

I'm with TPG and get 500gig for $60, connection usually around 15mbps and they have better deals than this now if you are a new customer.  Worth checking out if you are in a position to change contracts.

BTW the latest news on the National Broadband Network is that now it will be a 1Gbps service, with ~95% of the population expected to have connection speeds of >100mbps.  Here's to hoping.
