Re: internet / phone
Depends.....
Internet is expensive here.
Foxtel (Sky) is about the same with live EPL.
Search wen for Telstra, Optus, iinet, Westnet for phone internet companies to name a few and look at their plans.
check www.foxtel.com.au for satlleite TV

Re: internet / phone
Internet is expensive and has limits.
My internet plan is $140 a month (fastest in Australia – but slow compare to what I had in Ireland) and my plan that i'm on has a 25 gig download limit (think that's the higest telstra do, most companies offer average month limit of 5 gig - for a lot cheaper).
To have the internet I need a phone line (yes in 2008 Australian broadband still needs a phoneline), the line rental is $20 a month. I don’t use the phone, so only get a line rental.
That’s all with Telstra.
I’ve just gotten Foxtel IQ and pay $60 a month for all the channels, and I’ve found out that I can get cable broadband with that – which is faster and cheaper, plus it means I can get rid of the current phone line.
So look into the option with Foxtel and Telstra of combining it all and getting cable broadband.

I got away from them and now am with Internode.
8meg line, 40gb pm allowance, uploads not included in allowance, $99pm
About as good as it gets unless you can get ADSL2.

Go naked if you can live without a landline. I really like the VOIP.

Re: internet / phone
That sounds excellent, what's the speed though? At the moment I'm on 54.0Mbps – I only went with Telstra before anyone would give me internet I needed a phone line installed and only Telstra could do that, so I ended up just getting the whole lot with it. Plus they where the fasted speed I could find.

Re: internet / phone
Another vote for iinet. Anyone who signs up with Telstra and professes they are the best in Australia has clearly not done any research

Re: internet / phone
Telstra are a terrible company, they just have the fastest available broadband speed - which compared to overseas, is still slow. lol
