I beg to differ.

If you buy from Telstra, it doesn't matter HOW much bandwidth you buy -
the bastards charge you the same rate - BTDT. I had almost 5 meg in one
place - same fscking rate.

OzEmail bring their bandwidth in mostly by their own links - ditto Optus
and a few others - but Zip, for example, pays various rates depending
which peering providor/connect point it gets the bandwidth from - and yes,
for its Telstra link, it _is_ 19 cents a meg {well, 12, because they push
through the proxy}. Sure, for the links to other providors, it's less -
but they pay for it all.
