Dudley and muggers
I have found the same, having been connected to cable since last monday
arvo. What a HUGE difference. The only thing I did when telstra rang to
confirm the booking on the saturday, was to tell them I was using a mac
with 10.3 installed. The techie who came out, was reasonably familiar
with macs, and the Cable login software works well with ten three. I
just need to be able to do the same on my powerbook as I arrived home
slightly late to catch the full instal procedure.
Highly recommended
No worries about updating system software now at up to 300kb/sec!!

Thanks to those wamuggers who provided pointers - am now up and
running with a Netgear FVS318 Router/Firewall running Panther on a
network of 3 macs and 2 ethernet printers.
Whirlpool was not quite up to date as the Netgear routers they
recommend are no longer available. But a very helpful bod at Fulton in
Sydney www.fulton.net.au/ pointed me to the FVS318 which cost $286 and
which also has VPN capabilities thrown in.
But the main thing is that it has the built-in BigPond client and I
just connected up, entered my login details and away we went and
haven't missed a beat.
It seems to me that a lot of the angst about BigPond cable on macs
could be just ancient history. I really couldn't have found it more
straightforward.
