Hey mate, i noticed you called telstras NBN "appauling"
You really need to see what us OPTUS customers need to put up with, For 4 months straight, PEAK and off peak, the speeds are average 1 - 5mbps OUT of 100mbps that i pay for..
If you want to laugh, have a look at my speed tests, this is pretty average..

You cant play onlines games, You cant stream movies.. you cant study.. it sucks.
id sell my left nut for pings that you have -.- (not really, but you get the point 
)
Cant wait until i move to telstra, and get away from optus's terrible service
