Australian Cable is pissweak compared to cable in the states though. That must be said. I live in Brisbane too, and i'm on Telstra's 3 gig plan.
Oh yes, the cable here is capped at ridiculous limits. I think the highest plan is 10 gig a month, and that's somewhere in the vacinity of AU$200/month. Oh, and don't forget something like 13 cents per MEGABYTE for any excess!
And to top it off, the usage meter is innacurate, and they claim no responsibility if you follow it, assuming you have another 2 gig to spare, and in actual fact are 5 gig over the limit. Assholes! Bwahaha. I only did go over once though, by about 10 meg. Was still kinda worrying though, 'casue the fuckign meter said i was 500 meg under the limit!
Anyways, besides the crappy assed internet connections, Australia ain't so bad. I've been here for seven years now, and i've enjoyed it.
