I've just changed over from "free' university student dialup via the proxy server which was hopelessly unstable (would regularly drop out a dozen tmes in less minutes .... each time you reconnect .... another phone call ..... was costing me a fortune in local phone calls) to BigPond ADSL (I was told I couldn 't get ADSL+2 here) with unlimited downloads.
It came with one of those USB wireless adapters , was DOA , so they sent me PC Card wireless adapter (it arrived bent , the idiots shipped it to me in an unpadded envelope and it must have got squashed.
Compaigned but since it still worked , they weren't going to replace , so I pulled it out and bent it some more and then rang them again and told them it had died , got a new PC card wireless adapter.
I find ADSL which is not supposed to drop out , does drop out , very regularly. I think the problem is the hardware in the exchange .
The only reason I went with BigPond is be because I already had a long standing landline phone account witn them and I didn't want to change phone providers to get broadband - you can't get separate broadband only.
