Brisbane, rather than a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection over the
switched public telephone network.
Dennis could possibly confirm that he has a cable connection and not ADSL2.
If he does have cable, then a comparison to what can be expected with best case
ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ speeds would not be applicable with regards the problem
he experienced.
On the Optus site for the plan in question, I could not spot any quoted data rate,
only that it would be throttled to 250kbps once one exceeded the data quota of 120GB a month.

Hi Gary
Yes – we are plain, vanilla Cable Broadband as far as I know. We have the 'yes' Fusion Broadband + Home Phone Plan with a 120Gb monthly limit and typically use only around 5% per accounting period.
I have also been lurking on the Whirlpool Forum, browsing some recent posts where it seems several Optus customers are experiencing similar problems.
Cheers
Dennis
