Dam dial up whoops i mean whireless sticks just as bad

Mate at least dialup was pretty consistent. I never used acoustic couplers on a 300 baud line but I did have a 1200 baud modem 25 years ago and upgraded many times until the last one I used was 19200 baud and for each one the majority of times it would connect at itâ€s maximum speed without much trouble.

I also use a wireless stick at the moment and itâ€s a bit of a lottery as to what speed and protocol connection your going to get, anything from 56K GPRS to 7M HSDPA depending on the time of day, cloud cover, position of local metal objects etc. Currently I run with Virgin broadband which apparently use the Optus infrastructure, I have heard that the Telstra NextG network is better but without proof I hate to give any money to those bastards.
