Using Optus dialup - want Optus cable but not while I'm renting for 12 months.
No experience with primus.
With Optus my service was good for the first month and then went downhill? Suspicious hey.
I'm on a 120hr per month plan - heaps cheaper than going over hours on the 30 hr per month plan.
I was with Telstra who honestly provided better service than optus - but the cost would be much higher if I was on 120 hours per month over there (download capped rather than time capped).
If you mainly chat, get a download capped account. If you mainly download stuff, surf or play games, get a time capped account.
That's the cheapest way. Chat doesnt take much download and you spend a lot of time doing nothing.

Depending on where you live try Broadband- look at www.whirlpool.com.au
I'm with iinet (www.iinet.net.au)- great service and lots of options. Although I'm on a mid range plan, I have a mate on the cheapest plan who often goes over his limit- but it doesn't matter with iinet as it just drops in speed to 72k with NO SURCHARGE (still way faster than dialup)
iinet is by far the best of the options for broadband IMHO. -I would NEVER go back to dialup...
Have 2 sons at uni and they are very computer savvy- all their mates are with iinet too .
(Iinet should give me a bonus for this!!!)
