I use a TPG ADSL plan for my business email and web server, the plan I 
have has a static ip. I have only experienced one major outage so far, 
which was something like 11 hours, but that was due to someone severing 
their main link. I have no complaints otherwise, although I have heard 
that there have been disgruntled people (check 
http://www.whirlpool.net.au which is also a good place in general to 
look for broadband options and opions). However at the moment, I only 
use this for email and hosting a relatively unvisited website, I don't 
surf the web with this link, I currently am using cable for that 
(Bigpond, lots of outages, but telstra is now giving discounts on bad 
months, and its so much faster than adsl, i.e I can get distros from the 
free telstra dowload site at 21 mins per cd ; ) , 565KB/s is the best I 
have ever achieved ) .

cheers
