Here in Sydney you can get good and reliable dialup for $20 Australian a
month, and you can be on all day and generally not be kicked off. You can
pay less and more with varying results... What is a tempting budget
conscious strategy is some ADSL for about $29 with 200 MB download limits
and you get slowed down to 56 or even 64 after limit is reached. You get the
huge advantage of being able to use your line again as a phone and are not
otherwise worse off. There are just some up-front costs of about $100 to get
the thing established (often they will throw in a suitable modem).
