A big trial in Tassy went extremely well from what I read about it.
Ian, it's not recommended to be filtering the crap out of the signal. Every time you filter, you lose data, and there are overheads that filtering causes. Better not to do it.

Most of the US's infrasctructure is poorer than ours believe it or not. It's older, and falling apart in a lot of instances. Our problem is that Telstra owns most of the infrastructure, and because it's now privatised, share holders don't want to 'waste' money fixing problems (less profits). Google CNI faults. Telstra has CNI faults nearing 10 years or even more - without being fixed (and they have no intentions of doing so I might add).

A few things that people don't generally know - in Australia, ISPs can't:

1) complain about other ISPs

2) complain about wholesalers

3) customers (end users) can only complain against their ISP, not their ISPs wholesaler, even if their ISP has done nothing wrong, and it's the wholesalers fault.

makes you think eh?

Dave
