i can only recommend internode SOHO 1.5mbit, but it has it's 
inconvenient times, i believe the flatrate plan has gone, but i might be 
wrong.  otherwise, i was quite happy with it. funnily enough moving from 
1500/256 DSL  to 512/256 DSL, its soul-crushing at times. (i can't put 
my finger on it, the 80% data throughput is one thing., paying 3x more 
than the US does for DSL, is another.)

accurately, here's a list of 1500/256 "unlimited" plans with 
static/dynamic  IP addresses, sorted by price.

a few ISP's offer discounts if you sign up your home phone, but TPG is 
the cheapest @ $99/Month,so that may or may not play into your decision 
making. $150 - $200 seems to be the status quo, there isnt a lot of 
difference or allowance for each ISP in the list, some have cheaper 
256/64 plans, and more expensive 1500/256 plans.
