I was thinking about the same thing recently. I currently have:

- iiNet ADSL2 Medium (the old plans) $49.95 month
- iiPhone (which was originally $29.95) $33.34,
- ... and free iiNetPhone (I signed up for their VoIP when it was 
completely free).

It still adds up to $83 bucks, which is fucking expensive when you think 
about it.

I was going to change plans, up then I'd have to accept the stupid iiNet 
increased line rental ($34.95), and fucking PAY for VoIP now. So that 
would be $49.95 + $34.95 + $9.95 = $94.85 = Fucking RipOff.

I'm thinking in order to save a few bucks, change to Telstra Homeline 
Budget (then Telstra get shafted $10 or so bucks) $19.95, and then I'll 
have to pay for VoIP $9.95, but hopefully make more savings with 15cent 
Australia wide calls.

All-In-All I'll still would have to by a VoIP adaptor, and in my case 
I'd want it to pass-thru PSTN calls:

Take two years+ for it to actually pay it off, given low call volumes. 
It's the fixed component I want to reduce anyway.

Meh.
