It seems infinitely worse than the actual old 56k dialup modem I had. I'm sure the effective speed is much lower than claimed. Yes, you really want to avoid those downgrades to 64k.

It was hideous, LP in particular was virtually unloadable alot of the time.

Anyway, what you can always do with Telstra is save your big downloads til the end of the month as they slow the speeds down til the end of the calendar month when you go over the limit.

Have heard about Bittorent, know what it is, but never investigated. But THIS POST has pushed me in the right direction. It is all your fault LP. ps: I want to be MLP when I grow up. I know my DH would approve too. Esp. if I was MLP as she was on 'The West Wing'. Enough rambling.
