You're correct. It's in calafornia.
Also check out the ihug re-sellers page
http://www.ihug.com.au/ultrawholesale/
Basically because of so many people around australia who have not got access
to a broad band solution, Ihug are now offering ultra through other ISP's.
So basically your ISP has to assign you a static IP (owned by ihug) and then
any outbound traffic still goes to you're dail up through u're previous ISP
and downloads go through the satelite.
Get in contact with u're ISP about this. It's not hard to setup on their
end. Basically all they have to do is assign you an IP address and also make
sure they don't block packets in their network for that IP address.
If anyone would like any more info about this please email me and I can
arrange if for you.
