Ive gotten this to work, and it works pretty well. The overall performance
of ADSL in Sydnet isnt that good at the moment to be truefull. Im paying
for 512kbits of bandwidth, and I get an average of 25kb/s downloads and a
max of about 55kb/s from the telstras FTP test site. At the moment, all my
traffic is been routed via VIC. The telstra guy said that will change in
the next few months, when they get the rest of these equipment up and
running fully. The performance dies between MEL<->SYD.
Overall tho, I am happy with it.
