Telstra's ADSL service runs really well. I'm on the trial and have had no
problems. It runs up to about 900Kbit a second (based on 12 12K/byte a
second gozilla downloads running at once, and the speed was constant),
from US sites. 

I havbe friends on bigpond cable and they dont complain about the service.

So i'm not sure what all fo the griping is about, bigpond advance runs
well.
