    It is such a big thing here that I assume Australia would have one of their own, but I cant find it for the life of me.

    I'd suggest asking on Australian websites in that case. Australia doesn't really exist to the rest of the world ;)

    Whirlpool is kind of similar.

    It's a bit more techie related but it does have TV / News / Sports forums in it though.

    Australia is missing a Daft-type site as well (Gumtree is sh!te for searching, no drilldown searching at all).

    I know several people back home with unlimited access. Maybe you are not looking hard enough.

    Helps if you spell internet right when doing your searches too.

    I had an Unlimited account for ages through ECN, $75 per month, but then I went with a 3G USB Stick from Optus instead, makes more sense to me, thats 80GB for $40 a month, thats enough for me so far, and I watch a lot of movies and TV online.

    I also have an Unlimited account for my Satellite connection at the Farm, so not that hard to get at all.
