Ok now an off topic rant. Telstra Australia really p*** me off! They have monopolised the ADSL(ADSL+2 is the fastest Internet here in Australia) Internet industry without monopolising it by being in control of all the copper phone lines every company uses. If Telstra goes down they take everyone with them! I've been having problems with my phone and Internet recently and it's through the company iinet who are cheap for a heck of a lot of downloads and they've been avoiding getting a technician out because it's through Telstra and they get the money for the work and iinet gets squat. I am angry at iinet for that admittedly but I know it's not their fault. Telstra Bigpond was in my neighbourhood doing work when my phone and Internet started stuffing up which is coincidental and iinet said that they may have done something wrong but they have to got through all the normal troubleshooting first. What's annoyingly frustrating is I went through this a year ago with Telstra! I even had no Internet for 12 weeks and was charged for it! Pretty much all I'm saying is be careful who you get your Internet with because if it's ADSL it's Telstra and if it's cable it's Optus, all your doing is getting billed by a different company.
