Cable is great, but I can't afford a 100 kilometer extension cord. :eek:

What about carrier pidgeon??
Would that be any quicker????

Gumby, how did you get that deal from Telstra?


This is from their website.
Also, the speed is crippled once you get over 10mb.

I'm with Optus DSL with home phone and mobile with a 12mb limit + 24mb at this time of night - haven't gone close yet even with 3 teenagers playing online games.

$70/month + one in 3 months free and my mobile bill has gone from $50 to $ 30. Not sure if this is good but I and the teens are happy with the performance if you've got the ram and processor speed to enjoy it.
