Hiya Ponders, have you decided on an isp yet? I'm currently with iinet (don't ask me what deal it is, my fiance tells me it's a good value plan with a very, very large download limit and a very fast adsl connection). I like how we don't get charged when we go over the limit and instead, the download speed is just capped. We have had a few hiccups though regarding connection stability but 99% of the time, we have a reliable service. The CS team at iinet are superb and are always so helpful and friendly to help us out. Some of the time, the trouble has actually been with telstra, but I won't start on that...
With regards to your list of providers on the whirlpool link, I've heard internode are also very good. Their connection is better than iinet supposedly but I don't think they are cheaper (it's probably not much of a difference I don't think).
I'm very happy with iinet. You should shop around though like Ice said, because there are some great deals to be had with some of the smaller isp's. Give them a chance. Good luck with your search!
