Have a look at whirlpool, compare plans and costs:

I'm using aanet 512K/128K 8Gb plan for $34.90...although you cannot get that plan now.
This you need to know:
Watch out for plans that make you bundle your phone with plans.
Don't sign up for too long..it locks you in.
Don't get a small download limit like 200Mb or 2Gb....get something like 5Gb and more.
Don't get a plan that has high excess charges like Telstra $3 Mb etc. Mine has $3 Gb extra at pro-rata rate...which is reasonable.
Get a provider that has some good support for a 1st time ADSL user...like internode.
Get at minimum a 512K speed plan.
Lastly...toss the DSL-200 modem and buy a wireless capable 4 port LAN modem like Netgear or Billion.
I had the DSL200. It sucks system resources and has lots of issues like dropouts, slow speeds loss of sync
. The longest up time I got was 2-4 days. My LAN modem has up times of months!:
