I wish to remain with my current telephone provider but wish to upgrade to broadband. 15 GB seems to be more than I require and do you have a plan for Mobile Broadband, at what monthly cost? Thank you

From the phone number you provided, it looks as though you could access a range of good value, light use ADSL2+ plans in your area. If you only want to use your broadband at home, I would suggest signing up to an ADSL2+ plan rather than mobile broadband, as a connection through your home phone line is more stable and faster.
If you are determined to stay with your current telephone provider, you won't get the best deals as broadband providers offer big discounts to customers who bundle both services. In most cases you can keep your old phone number and you may find calls are cheaper.
However, signing up to a bundle deal takes longer, so if you only want to sign up to a broadband deal, you need to look for standalone, or broadband only plans, rather than a bundle.
TPG has a 15GB ADSL2+ plan (5GB on peak, 10GB off peak) for $29.99 a month, on an 18-month contract. Give TPG a call on 1300 106 571.
Alternatively, iiNet has 20GB available for $39.95 a month, with 10GB on peak and 10GB off peak. You can call iiNet on 1300 137 765.
iPrimus also has some good value plans, and if you think you will need more than 10GB during the daytime, you could consider a 40GB plan (20GB on peak, 20GB off peak). At $39.95 a month, this plan would provide you with more than enough data. Give iPrimus a call on 1300 137 794.
