Your options are fairly limited in speed. Unless you're living within a short distance of one of the exchanges which have been upgraded to ADSL2+, you're not going to get 3 meg on an average ADSL connection. You *might* get lucky with a business grade connection if you're not on an exchange which isn't ADSL2+ - but if you did you'd be up for at least $1000 a month.

[SLUG] Kernel Panic since USN-199-1
Hi All,
Some may have seen my Breezy upgrade success story (on the Kubuntu list). The
reality seems that the stability issue under Hoary that prompted the upgrade
in the first place is still there. I've narrowed down the start of the
problem to the kernel update made in response to USN-199-1 (Ubuntu Security
Notice).
I'm running an AMD64 3000+ on an Asus K8VSE Deluxe with 1GB of RAM with the
latest 2.6.10-5.?-amd64-k8 kernel. I've reliably recreated the fault with
the following:
1. Boot normally.
2. Load enough programs to *almost* fill ram (ie, programs + cache + buffer is
almost 1GB) with no swap in use.
3. Load something else large enough to prompt the kernel to try and free some
buffer/cache or swap out to disk.
4. Kernel will throw a bunch of Unable to handle paging request at
0x0? (the address varies but seems to always be in the range that is
only buffer/cache) into /var/log/kern.log. The remaining details in the
log refer to {page_clear +7} or other paging requests with
all the usual register contents etc.
5. At this point, what ever I loaded in #3 will stop with a Killed message.
6. Either soon after 5, or immediately, the kernel will panic and it's
Goodnight Irene for the system.
I've upgraded from Hoary-Breezy thinking maybe Breezy's kernel wasn't
affected, but it suffers the same problem on my hardware.
I ran memtest86 all night (over 10 hours) and no errors were found. I'm
running the latest BIOS for my board (1007.002 IIRC) and all memory timings
are default - ie, no over-clocking. The system has been rock solid since I
installed Hoary earlier this year. This problem only appeared after the
kernel update in USN-199-1. My other machine (a Centrino laptop) running
Hoary also installed the problematic kernel *version*, but it is a 686 kernel
not an amd64-k8, is not affected with this paging error. Maybe this is
something screwy with the AMD64-K8 code/kernel?
Anyone else seeing this behaviour?? Should I raise a bug??
Cheers,
James

Only if you're on an iinet DSLAM enabled exchange - which is the same as internode - if you're lucky enough to be on one of the exchanges, then you're laughing. And the speed is only 12 meg down, not 20. According to their webpage, anyway. iinet have a _lot_ more exchanges in the planning stage that internode do, though.

In fact it is an ad hominem attack on Dave Miller. I thought it was hilarious. It never occurred to me think that it was meant in a mean way, or that Dave Miller took at as such. After seeing Bryan's talk last night I'm even more sure that this was the case! A great, humourous presenter who really knows his stuff. Rather than reply to Dave's detailed points, he attempts to ridicule him. I saw it as an _acknowledgement_ that Dave had excellent points by admitting he had no substantive comeback.
