Australia (particularly with bigpond dial-up)

They have some good reviews on site (but then they wouldn't post complaints,
would they) and they list Australia as one of their sales areas. They also
offer a trial download but are there any risks in trying this (I would hate
to make the situation worse)

Any comments/feedback/advice?

TIA
