> $10 modem rental? Have you priced an M1122 lately?

Nope. I figured they weren't the only option, and that they weren't the
least expensive either. What does an M1122 cost, and how would you figure
the rental cost? Over one year? Two?

Anyway, I doubt Telecom would launch Jetstart if they weren't turning a
decent profit on it, so they could easily afford to absorb a one off cost in
order to get the 3 * jetstart fees I was happy to pay for only twice the
speed. Anyway, it was just a suggestion, so feel free to jump in with your
own ideas on pricing.

Also, I really don't know anything about the economics of internet data...
would Telecoms costs scale evenly with higher bandwidth users (ie: if I went
from 128K to 256K and downloaded twice as much, would they only have to pay
twice as much)? If so, then they would make more profit off the 256k users
at my suggested prices...
