I have "upgraded" to Telecom's flate rate plan (256kbs) so I normally get up
to about 36kB/sec download speed but with jetstreamgames I have always had
speeds sometimes over 500kB/sec.

I think i must be a long way from the exchange in lyttelton, and don't
get brilliant speed. It does 128 fine, but unthrottled is not majorly
fast, about 3-4 times the 128 speed.
