This is something I'd been meaning to ask - does anyone know a way of
telling if you are on UBS or i-UBS? Purely out of interest from a geek
perspective of course. :) I got changed over to UBS reasonably early
- my DSLAM connect rate is 320k/160k. The first few hops of a
traceroute to www.google.com on my UBS connection reveal the following:

traceroute to www.google.akadns.net (66.102.7.147), 64 hops max, 40 byte

I did a whois on hop 3 and 4 and they appear to be associated with
telecom... from memory this traceroute looks reasonly similar to what I
got when I was on Jetstart with Orcon, however I remember that showing
up some 192.168.* addresses between hop 1 and 2 which don't appear now.
This would make me suspect I am on i-UBS but it really is a guess.
Anyone know for sure? And did you notice any difference if you moved
from i-UBS to UBS?
