Have to agree, I gave up on the unwired modem after struggling to get a
reliable service about 18 months back. But things can change over time.

I am very happy with my desktop I-Burst access bridge via a router for 
added security. Had  good experience in both Sydney and
Canberra with a couple of users on the ethernet LAN.  It is shaped, so 
when you use up your quota you can buy more or just put up with a slow 
service until the end of the month - when it is reset.
