But if you want a cheaper option (depending on how thirsty your download appetite is), as Phil C said, he's been using Ultra for three years now on Linux. I think their rates start at $35 p/mth (Disclaimer: I use three ISPs, so am not pushing IHug). > Their transmitter is on Mt Sugarloaf (Port Hills). I live in West > Melton.

If you've waited this long, maybe wait a bit longer (don't know how much longer though) for the Walker|Vodafone deal to rock into town. With their new Wireless Broadband trials, speeds achieved were (apparently) up to 3Mbps download and 1Mbps upload. And you don't need line of sight to a transmission tower to use it. Not needing a phone line either is an added bonus!
