[clug] Telstra ADSL

[Neil Pickford]

I will fourth the recommendation for Internode.
Straight Forward is their motto and that is the way it is.

Telstra really don't care for anyone doing something other than what the 
general morass is doing.
They also obscure extra charges (such as upload fees) in the fine print.
