Just for the record, I'm not particulary anti-Telstra.  In fact, my current 
ISP is BigPond (dialup).  If the idea of being able to get a fixed IP address 
didn't appeal to me I would probably have been using Telstra ADSL for the 
last 6 months or more.

But I can understand why other ISP's are not happy about Telstra's pricing 
policys.
