Thanks for the info. I doubt I'm getting those kind of problems. You
should also be aware there is a large pine tree in the way of the
antenna.

Here's some ping statistics (if packets were being trashed would these
be so low?):

--- www.win.co.nz ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 6.0/6.1/6.7 ms

--- xtra.co.nz ping statistics ---
13 packets transmitted, 13 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 9.9/12.5/19.5 ms

--- www.ihug.co.nz ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 10.0/12.3/14.1 ms

--- idg.co.nz ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 19.9/20.9/23.2 ms

US seems to be about a 350ms roundtrip at the moment.
