I think Leon is referring to the signal he gets from the telstra next G as he does not have a landline. The way to go if you travel because it has a very wide coverage area.
He also uses a secondry Wifi system from the inbuilt router of the modem like I do. My back up system uses uses the Telstra next G with the built in WiFi router and I use it mainly for suppying internet to our group at Wiruna where it is quite effective.
Before telstra was big in the wireless internet we used to have "Unwired" based on the Navini system. It is still availble but is now being superceded by Vivid Wireless. These wireless systems look good on paper but run into trouble with adverse propogation conditions, overload, multiple tower swapping etc and work great for some people but very poor for others.
I had the unwired system from its earliest days, when ADSL was not available in many new areas and we found lots of ways to overcome problems. I am still a moderator on the Unwired forum.
