Thanks Paul, That's cheered me up no end!! I live in Dunsborough and we are currently with Westnet and get max speed of 425 KB/s, most of the time because we are 3km from the nearest exchange we run at only 250 KB/s..... takes 35 to 45 minutes minimum to download one episode of House! But it is the best service around here... or so I am told. Customer service with Westnet is the best I have experienced with any provider bar none.

Getting a Belkin N1 modem/router made a big improvement. I never have dropouts any more, whereas with the original iConnect 624 supplied by Westnet, dropouts were common and the speed was slower.
