I have Telstraclear's version of JS+ ( I suspect it *IS* still JS+, just
rebranded as Highspeed4 Flatout ) and the results are similar but not
quite as bad as Nathan's.
International ( tested at http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ is
593.3 Kbits/s ( 74KBytes/s )
National ( tested at http://www.jetstreamgames.co.nz/speed/ is
1987.3Kbit/s (248KBytes/s )
So the problem is not just with ihug.........
