Hi Brian,

If you have no problem connecting to iTunes Store & App Store on another 
Network the problem indicates to be your Network connection at home.
My Telstra OLD copper wiring is so bad and the noise on the line makes using my 
house phone nearly impossible. And since the NBN did all their work at the box 
on my verge my Network Speed is hopeless, I have to use a friend's Network when 
I have large downloads to do.
Using Personal Hotspot my MBP using my cellular data on my iPhone is faster 
than my ADSL :(
The bright sign on the horizon is getting NBN -my NBN Fibre Application was 
approved on the day NBN went live in my area (in early Feb.) will be installed 
on 21 May '14... that was the earliest available date :(( ... but at least it 
is going to happen!

The only thing I would suggest you check when you get home to your Network that 
you are not using a Proxy Server.  System Preferences > Network > Advanced > 
Proxies.

Best of luck with Telstra.

Cheers,
Ronni
