[Waverley ARS] RE- ISP bandwidth

[Simon Buxton]

Hi Doug

Both Optus and Telstra tend to be very expensive even with all the 
bundling limitations and especially so when they also include uploads in 
your bandwidth allowance. I wonder why anyone chooses either of these 
suppliers except that they are the biggest and most heavily advertised. 
Also cable is subject to severe slowing at peak times as it is a shared 
resource, unlike ADSL with individual links to the exchange.

The best value today is ADSL2 where the supplier has his own equipment 
in your local exchange.
