Australia, New Zealand & the South Pacific - Wireless broadband internet service provider in Australia?

Hi, ;)

I'm looking for a wireless hotspot operater in Australia that offers monthly plan with unlimited use. When I went to Australia last time, T-mobile, U.S. company, served free wireless internet roaming connection by Telstra's hotspots, but the free roaming service was terminated on last June 1st, one day before my departure. Now T-Mobile charges roaming fee for Telstra's hotspots, and the charge is very costly. Thus, I'm searching for a wireless hotspot operator that provides monthly plan with unlimited use. However it seems to me that none of Australian companys offers such plan. I really have no idea what to do at this moment, and I do need to use the internet a lot during my stay in Australia. It would be nice if any member can give me useful information. BTW, is there any place in Melbourne or Sydney where I can use the internet free for a long time? I've looked some universities websites, and it's required to have a student ID and password to access their wireless access points, like I expected. Maybe landlines are available for LAN connections?

I appreciate for your reply in advance. :)

It sounds to me that you want an Iburst (http://www.iburst.com.au) account. Unfortunately none of the iBurst providers allow truly unlimited, but some provide very reasonable download limits.

I don't really have the info you require however the following link is a comparison of ALL ISP's in Australia so should be of help. I personally use Netspace and find them good for regular ADSL however I don't know with regard to your question.
