Is BigPond cable (or the equivalent Optus service) available out your
way?
If it is, it's probably a cheaper and more satisfying Internet conduit
than OnRamp.

You should be aware though that while you are permanently on the
Internet
with BigPond cable, you get no right to a fixed IP number. This is,
no doubt by design. After all, if they allowed people to have fixed IP
numbers, those people could do all sorts of useful things for
themselves,
and thereby deny Telstra its legislated right to overcharge us.
