Sorry for the long delay in reply, I havn't been at work for awhile, I do
use another ISP, I use iTel at home, but unfortunatly here at work(We are a
network games/internet lounge) we have to use telstra due to their unmetered
access to the Gamearena service(We use 15-20 gig a month of bandwidth even
with the data to Gamearena being free), so unfortunatly all we can do is sit
around and accept the Corporate Cockshafting that Telstra feeds to us every
day, if I tallied up the money that Telstra had lost for us over the two
years we have been open it would be in the Hundreds of Thousands of dollars,
being able to download my linux Distro's for servers for free was the last
bit of value that remained for us.  As a side note, iTel are a brilliant
ISP, and I wouldnt hesistate to recommend them to anyone, although if you
want low ping, dont use them(But Nevewinter doesnt, so i'm happy :) Average
Quake 3 Ping on iTel network = 100-250.
