It all depends on your usage, doesnt it. :)
I have JS600 and find it fine for day-to-day usage. I dont do a lot of
downloading, I *do* use irc/icq/web browsing / the odd utility download. I
only used 530 meg in the month of june.

I value full speed, less waiting around. If i was doing higher traffic, id
probably be on Jetstart, bear in mind that the max download speed on
jetstart is 15-16 k/second, where on Jetstream or cable its more likely to
be 100k/s+.

Mark.
