I should have done some comparisons on ADSL whilst it was still up, tests with the fibre show that pacific islands and the sydney side of aussie are good with latency around 60-80ms and speeds 20+mbit, once you get to the other side of aussie though things get bad fast, 150ms+ latency, speeds drop to less than 15mbit. US is the same speed wise, although latency is high (200-300) with europe being the worst (350+) speeds all remain above 8mbit though which is good. We really need that dedicated link to the US, would cut latency hugely. Especially as most services are hosted in the US it would improve the Internet experience greatly. Our unit shipped with 1423 F/W in place. I'm excited for DDWRT (if it happens) or another custom firmware. The genius itself seems a very competent piece of hardware, lots of features (NAS, 3G redundancy if fibre is out etc etc) By far the BEST ISP issued gear I have met.	The Error Guy (14052)
