My neighbour has Alphalink (Melbourne) and connects mainly evenings
and sometimes gets busy signals but is always able to connect after a
couple of tries. Their service seems to be reliable although
connection speed is often 33.6 kbps or a little lower. Notwithstanding
they are a low cost ISP they have a better news feed than many of the
more expensive ISPs.
