552488 2007-05-23 09:11:00 I currently get 600-800 KB/s or 6.4mb/s download from my IHUG/Telecom copper line connection. NOt saying that it is that good all the time but get enough connections on a good torrent and the minimum is 600KB/s or 4.8mb/s

Upload not so good though with it topping at about 32 KB/s = 256kb/s

Telstraclear Cable, you can get 10mbit plans which actually give you 10mbit speeds. A friend of mine has this connection, and absolutely loves it.

So how much will around 10gb usage + 10mbit plan cost me?

5Mb/s down/up seems to be a good standard. Why is it not possible for them to deliver that here on ADSL?

As for data caps/charges, I won't even go there. Enough has already been said.

Same with me, on Slingshot. I am on a 256/128 plan, not true broadband but its heaven compared with dialup and with 25 Gb monthly cap I am happy.
