So what plan are you on ? the 2Mbit Jetstream plus ? If so it looks like
they throttled your downstream speed (second time lucky anyway) but not my
downstream speed... hmm. I'll do a bit of testing tonight to see what
usable speed I actually get...(the quick test I did this morning indicated
a usable downstream speed of less than 2Mbit)
