Forgot to add about my internet - we're on the Optus $74.95 (something like that) deal which gives us 24g (12 peak, 12 off peak) and we average abotu a sixth of that every month. No charge for going over, just shaped down. The best thing about this deal is that we get it for half price, from a promo two years ago. When Optus changes us over to Optus Direct, we'll pay a couple of dollars less for the same thing.
I think that if we always used under 4 gig, we'd switch to the Virgin deal - 4g, shaped down after that (but not charged), free local and STD calls with no line rental all for $60 a month,so you need to bundle with them. More perks if you have a mobile with them. I've checked our usage and we hover around 4 gig - if we were a bit more careful it would be a good deal, but sometimes I have to download heaps of articles for school work and I can't be bothered keeping track of that!
Also, these bundled deals INCLUDE uploads in their limits, so be wary of that
The Optus Direct packages look really good, if you're shopping around.
Gotta have a shower with a stinky @rse boy!
