I am in the market for changing ISP provider and potentially changing from wireless to ADSL. We usually have two laptops running off the one wireless modem/router (Apple and PC based) at the same time. As we don't have a landline (and are renting where we live) I am considering whether it's better to go for a naked DSL plan, a bundled plan, wireless or standalone internet and phone line rental (what do people think is the best method?)
Also, can anyone recommend a standalone phone line provider if that's the better option?
Also, are any of these ISPs to be avoided due to poor service?
I have done the usual whirlpool search, but thought that Ozbargain may have a better idea for the budget minded.

I wanted unlimited so I went with Clubtelco $40/m and connected my land line with telstra under the budget line which is 21.95/m. I don't make calls from it, but if there is a problem with the line I'd prefer to deal with telstra directly.
