better than internode? Anyone who tells you there is such a thing is
lying ;)

It depends on the model.  I personally like Billion kit.  Internode can
sell you a preconfigured Billion "it does everything" modem+router, with
an extended warranty or you can buy one more cheaply and configure it
yourself - use staticice.com.au for pricing info once you have picked a
model.
