hrm bigpond is not worth your money.
i have unlimited, pay 60 a month and when it reaches 12gb it gets capped,
whilst TPG (ADSL) you pay 60 and when it reacher 50GB then it gets capped !

I should change to TPG,... hrmm, but still checking iprimius and aapt

i used to have bigpond then i switched because optus offered more downloads. now optus is really shit(slow speeds). i was going to switch to TPG as well but i heard you always disconnect with TPG.

Their speeds and downloads are impressive. However quality can be an issue depending on where you leave, on my exchange it was fine, on my friends it wasn't.

I now have optus however, due to dad wanting the phone bundle, which is mad because I'm a phone junkie as well.  =]

imo  TPG is really good value. but in some areas you can d/c a fair bit. But if your willing to deal with that should it happen, TPG is by far the winner.

iPrimus used to be good value for me, because they forgot to divide data into on/off peak. After they remembered (Like, a year later) it seems pretty crap value. It's pretty slow for me, because the exchange is ages away

Some larger companies provide free mirrors for downloads that don't count towards your monthly quota, or extras such as IPTV (TPG I think) and game servers that once again don't count towards monthly quota. If you use those things you can probably take it into consideration as well. If you use torrents you have to take into account the fact some companies count uploads towards your monthly quota
