Have you consider using Ihug blink? As mentioned numerous times before, they're able to offer their own 2mbit plan which is basically the same as the Telecom Jetstream plan (it's not Plus anymore BTW) but $10 cheaper although you must have toll calls with Ihug instead of Telecom. Be aware, I do not use Ihug currently and have no experience with their 2mbit plan so I cannot comment on the cap (I suspect it's vigorously enforced in Ihug's case since else they'll run into big problems with Telecom if their average goes above 10 gb at least with UBS when they eventually move there) or ping.
