I looked at Pacific but Internode worked out cheaper for larger downloads.
I've got Internode ADSL at home and at work. Runs like a dream.  :-)

The Ethernet D-Link ones I have work well. The USB ones are supposedly
good too. Personally, I like the Ethernet ones but they are more expensive.
I'm not sure how easy the USB ones are to setup with a static IP address.
