I just moved house too. The $100.00 is a hefty fee, but consider the
stuff that the ADSL provicer has to go through to get you the new ADSL
line...

In my case Netspace got telstra activate the new line within 72 hours of
me faxing the apllication. That is good considering that a mate of mine
moved house just three months ago (stayed with bigpond) and telstra took
14 days have his line activated.

Netspace just sells you the bandwidth and the adsl layer 2 service. They
lease the last mile form Telstra, so telstra gouges them for the
priveledge...
