TelstraClear's cable network is capable of faster speeds than most current
ADSL connections, and the technology is arguably superior. TCL have
suggested it can scale to 100Mbit/s without requiring a complete network

Why do you say Telstra Cable is way better than ADSL? Telstra have upped

wouldn't want to have another machine running all the time or have to
