I'm with TelstraClear at home on Telecom's wholesale network. TelstraClear cable service is very fast!

I'm in the burbs of Porirua with nothing better than ADSL - download hits the 5's sometimes but not tonight. Why is the upload so much slower than the download? Is that typical?

Yup...... not a bad night tonight either, only disconnecting every so often.
I have been very tempted to go and rip the exchange out of the ground so it gets up graded and we get broadband, but the neighbors would prolly take a pretty dim view of that though

TelstraClear cable. Four computers (one a web server) using the connection at the moment.

Yep. Almost always.

bit slow tonight for some reason

Upload is slower than download because you don't need a fast upload. All you need to do is send packet acknowledgements (sliding window)

I'm just on the cheapie 4mbit/s 5Mb per month totally clueless... I mean telstra clear plan.
