Just read this one:

Julia Gillard says "Residents in the Tasmanian towns with access to the fibre were paying introductory prices from $29.95 a month for 25Mbs to $59.95 a month for 100Mbs through three internet providers"

I'm guessing she means 25Mbps and 100Mbps is line speed rather than download limit? and if that's intro price it'll be interesting to see what the price is when the honeymoon period is over.
