yeh pretty much, but 20km is long wire so you have a lot of options.

Well fark me. Got a "good guy" from transfield to come out and he actually knew what the hell he was doing. The voice quality on my line is still $hite but now the ADSL has magically went up from 64Kbps to umm... 7616Kbps. Just a tad faster. I'm much happier.

Downside is I took telescum / ihug / orcon's advice and got an additional phone line the previous week. Sods law.

haha told you - run away!!
i have no cap as such
but my download server runs about 20 hour days, 7 days a week and the max i have ever done is about 40GB a month.......so yes its slow too

Funny you should mention that. I purchased some Grandstream VOIP analogue gateways a few months back. Must dig them out and get them working with Asterix or whatever the hell it's called.
