It is not a question of speed, but download volume. A cable broadband service (like I used to have) has strict acceptable use policies which make a download of 3 CD images within one accounting period or even the same day totally impossible. For Optus, your account is summarily closed without notice and cannot ever be reopened. For Telstra the penalty is 25c/megabyte, I think. I have been a customer of lsl in the past.
