True that though, they do route through melbourne, although NSW I believe is
now on the migration to state based routing. Newsgroups etc are full of
people especially in Perth whining about having to hop to Melbourne then
back for local sites. I found it myself as well, to get to a box 200m up the
road I routed thru Melb then back again.

As for speed, I didn't really have a problem with it, but we only kept it
for 3 months, when the cap debacle started.
