I'm pretty green when it comes to ISP's.  Only been a nettie for 6 months,
with strictly one ISP.  But for what it's worth, I've been very happy with
Vicnet (yeah, I know - no help if you live interstate ...).  Apart from
anything else, I reckon the aim is worth getting behind (Vicnet aims to
make the net accessible to all victorians regardless of means etc.).  But
in any case, I haven't heard of too many with better value-
   - $20/ month for 20 hrs/ month ( discounted to a mere 83�/ hr, if
you're prepared to pay annually)
   - support seems great to me - no limits on access either by phone or email.
   - very flexible about storage space, etc.
