It does appear to be available today at my place. I was originally planning to stay with dodo until my contract ran out, 8 months @ $24/month break fee. Not attractive in the long term, myrepublic.net is much better value for 100/40 unlimited, $60, dodo wants $100 for that. Dodo will allow you to change to the NBN with no contract penalty, but that involves a whole new 2 year contract. Dodo's retention people could only offer me $95/month but were happy to halve the break fee to just $99. I signed up with myreplublic.net, but that froze on the final screen. Rang them, but have now been on hold for 25 mins.
