Rubbish.

http://www.ozcableguy.com/alcatel.html for the Alcatel Speed Touch Pro.

Else, The speedtouch home _WILL_ work with MacOS.

Telstra just won't support you with MacOS by the sounds of it.

>(They also told me I'd better of with winblows as mac are really not very good on networks...)

More rubbish, considering MacOS X is built off UNIX -- a networking
operating system, ofcoarse it's going to be very good with networking.

Although I've never used a mac, I wouldn't be surprised if MacOS itself
would be better than Windows at networking.
