Don't know about AU but here this issue can and does vary by state and by who supplies your phone service. If you're looking for low cost cable might be a better deal. Find out who supplies cable in your area and see what deals they are making. Many have 6 month setups for low cost. In general cable is faster but more expensive after the intros run out.

How long will you be there?

Where in Pittsburgh? I lived there for 7 years. There are 143 cities/towns in the county. Top of each ridge is a boundary left over from 200 years ago. Buy a good map or GPS. It IS a maze. :)
