you must be really close to the "local pillbox":eek2:

you can acually be too close :P mate couldnt get a decent connect no matter what and it turned out he was too close to get good speed. they eventaully supplied him with a modded modem to cope with it, but best he could get was 512....

I should feel good about that right????:blink:

I have finally had 2 way satellite connected after about a 3 month wait, but can still only get 512.
Goes well for downloads, but browsing could be a lot better:(

I'm on bigpond cable - unlimited downloads - dunno what the speed is my sons made me order the speed that cost extra :) easier to just go with the flow when it comes to computers

I have a bigpond cable extreme connection. It is really fast when the server at the other end is fast. I downloaded the beta copy of Office 2007, around 440 meg in around 6 minutes. The extra speed is really only noticeable when downloading large files.
