Believe me that bigpond isn't getting preferential treatment as I usually
download from microsoft.com files and huge speeds and last night I required
DirectX8.0 SDK and it was coming down at 5KB/s which I may as well switched
to my 56K modem...

hang on. telstra the backbone provider needs to be differentiated from
bigpond. bigpond and any ISP that connects to telstra's backbone is
feeling the effects of this. bigpond itself can't avail itself of extra
satellite capacity, it should be lining up with every other ISP on
telstra's backbone for the a slice of the reduced capacity. if bigpond is
getting preferential treatment, all the other ISPs should be kicking up a
fuss...
later
