Agreed due to ridiculous contention ratios and certain Dslams not capable of faster. You can have a 50MB connection, but if there is 20,000 sharing it you will still only get 56K lol (guess).

Add to this with only 128K up, the theoretical download speed is only 4.5 Mb on this so called "Unconstrained " service, Unconstrained my ass!.

I realise they will offer a commercial product with faster up, but I can see ISP's advertising 7MB/128K residential plans which of course will be a joke.

Yes. And will all be Telecoms fault. Which is true but off my exchange everyone has rubbish speed. Xtra admitted it, and refund me. Those people with Ihug or other ISPs get nothing.
