I suppose i can say that there is a lot more to internet performance than the last connection in the street.

Not when you are the last connection in the street as we are. Our neighbours, 2nd last, also have issues.

We have had an ongoing drama with the net for yonks, ombudsman included and still only get service
from, on average, 0500h - 0700h and 1730h to pulling up stumps.

I'm thinking that T are not going to spend their money on us when we are pencilled in for NBN (Wireless) around May next year.
