Bigpond runs their bigpond file service (files.bigpond.com) where you can download your linux ISOs from. They even have an ubuntu repository (excluding multiverse i believe), which you can find more info at http://penguincentral.unixpod.com/node/14
Personally, if you are after value for money in terms of download quotas, steer clear from bigpond, but if you like fast downloads and you're in a cable area, it's pretty good.
