Cable is a rather different beast to a dial up modem,
By the way, assuming I'll be connecting to Telstra for ADSL is pretty dumb
- because I may not. There _are_ other options, despite your obvious
ignorance of them.
Just on this note when i talked to the telstra guy about getting on the

yeah, yeah. Piss off and rub it in, why don'tcha?
DaZZa - no ADSL in Hornsby. :-(
What? I checked on the telstra site and it would be there for me.
My ph no starts with 9477 if that makes a difference.
BTW, does ADSL stand for Asyncronous or Asymmetric DSL?

Asymmetric. It has a different speed upstream to downstream.

The local cable loop _can_ be a bottleneck, but the pressures that bring

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet since in the ADSL thread
since I've been quickly reading over it but telstra have slashed the bandwidth
on the cable service.
Cable connections will now have max bandwidth of 256k rather than 400k.
