Sounds like a provisioning problem. You'd need to look at the server 
that is being hit simultaneously as well as anything Telstra could 
do. Then there's the stupid (?) filters that some (all?) education 
systems have in place. I've seen a network die a dismal death in a 
place whenever a training session was going on in a computer club 
venue without filters. Our SIG met at the same time and we always 
knew when the class had arrived. Dead duck.

If you have more pipe but throttle it with requests, poor servers at 
far ends, or filters, of course they'll still be slow.
