I am looking to get a good broadband ADSL provider in Melbourne Australia. I was told to avoid Telstra because their services is really poor, and I contacted Optus only to be told buy a Windows PC or **** off with my stupid Mac because they would not give me support for dumb ass Apples Macintosh computers or any Apple hardware, which is really funny / stupid because up to one year ago, most of Optus staff ran Macintosh computers before they were bought by some Singaporean Telco that has forced a Windows only policy on them.
I know / believe that if I got my own router with DHCP then I would not need any software from Optus, but if they wish to be f-u-c-k-e-r-s then I will take my business some were else.
So does anyone can recommend a Mac friendly broad band ADSL ISP in Australia and Melbourne.

i've never had any problem with ozemail: for 30 bucks a month you get broadband WITHOUT any excess fees if you d/L over 300mb
http://homesite.service.ozemail.com....and/priceplans
my first month i d/L'd 2Gb of software updates and streaming stuff like NASA & CNN: the others would've charged me heaps after 300Mb but ozemail (apparently) slows to dial-up speed - hasn't slowed for me yet though

Telstra is fine, and are A-OK with Macs. I'm on a 256/128 plan, which gives me 10GB a month (and if I go over, I only get scaled down to 56/128 - no charges for any extra data or any of that junk)
On the site, I think they allude to Macs not being supported for a 4-port router. Ignore that. We had a Telstra guy come to connect us, and he didn't even question the Macs.

i in the middle of China, no Mac support at all here, I couldn't even speak to them in my language if they did provide any tech support.
My ADSL works like a dream.
What do you need support for? its pretty much the same on a Mac as a PC.
