i set up a lan connected through a debian box acting as the
firewall/gateway to an optus connection. this was on sunday past and i
notice that the connection speeds were painfully slow in the afternoon
of that day. 

yesterday, during the day, the speeds were very good up until about 7pm
at which time things began to crawl again. this morning things are fast
again, so i'm assuming this fluctation is due to heavy use by all optus
user in the area, but being a newcomer to the area, i wanted to check
with others who have used the service longer than i if this is indeed
the case. or perhaps i may need to do some more tweaking of my dhcp set
up?

fwiw i'm up located in auchenflower.

thanks,
