Internode gives you unmetered access to ABC's iView, which we get a lot out
of (this is the only breed of TV we watch).

That said, I was with iinet ADSL 2+ when I lived in Brisbane, and had no
trouble with them, either. They offer unmetered content too, but you would
need to check their site for what it is.

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of
madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the
aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and
aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and
vagaries of the crowd.
