Oh but it can be fixed. Does anyone seriously think this isn't an effort
to get all gamers off Jetstart and onto Jetstream 256? I mean, the 256k
service only exists because telecom want to be able to say they support
Microsoft's broadband gaming requirements...

Give it 2 months and you'll start hearing things like "The 256k service
is for gamers, the 128k service is our entry level always on connection
- it's only suitable for web browsing"

I'd love to be proved wrong - but I'm not holding my breath.

Cheers - N.
