That's looking half reasonable. Only a couple of years ago Telstra were
charging 2.2c per kilobyte (a whopping $22 per meg). In many cases it
would have been cheaper to dial with a GSM modem and pay timed call
charges.

I just checked and it seems those are still the current rates for pay as
you go. :-\ The highest volume account costs $85 per month and includes a
'generous' 10Mb download allowance. It looks like Telstra haven't quite
caught up yet...
