Other than that if you're a regular user, there are capped plans which simply slow your connection once your download limit is up. If John (xstream) sees this thread he can fill in the details.
Yes I use the BogPond Liberty 5GB plan with the Gateway 7.2 Wifi NextG modem in the Caravan with an external GME AE815 aerial. With this setup I get connection where you can't even get reception with your mobile.

Expensive, yes but if you want the coverage you have no option other than Telstra, I must say I've been more than happy with my plan.
Go over your 5GB monthly usage and it's slowed to 64kbps. Normal speed is as quick as ADSL.
