Many Australian businesses use Telstra bigpond as their Internet provider. In the past there was not a lot of choices and Telstra was the main player when it came to your Internet connection.  The problem is that the nature of the Internet has changed and your average business requires faster Internet and larger download limits than before. Many customers are still stuck with ADSL1 connections that are many times slower than your basic ADSL2 connection.  Telstra do offer the newer and faster ADSL2 connections but usually the price is no where as competitive as the other major providers. Two ISP that offer ADSL2 and provide fast and reliable Internet are iinet and TPG.
