You pay a fair bit for high speeds down here
I'm current with optus cable and leaving them for DSL (moving out and can't keep my cable
) But I'll be paying $100 a month for a 1500/512 speed. You have to still pay a fair bit down here for speeds
Check out
http://www.whirlpool.net.au/ that is an Australian Broadband News website. You can check out what ISP's will provide what service from the website. It doesn't have all of them but has a fair few there.
That should help you find something faster then a 56k.
P.S 56k is still one better then I am right now, my DSL doesn't get connected untill next week
and my firewall still setup at my old home for my dad to use until I cancel the service. Yeah I left a Cable connection connected for my old man to surf the net
