We have been using Vicnet for the past 10 months and have found the service, speed, reliability, modem to customer ratio, and support excellent. For $200 a year for 20 hours a month ($5 after that) it is good value. Melbpc is also good value at $120 per year, and is great for "seat-of your-pants" type learning. It can be a bit "klunky" at times but it is definitely worth a look in. Also I like the way Ozemail run things. You pay as you go ($5 per hour day - $2.50 midnight to 7am) and you get 5mb for a website for just $25 connection fee. If you're in Melbourne give Vicnet a try - they are part State Library, part RMIT and have good content - trying for an Australian focus.
