[LINK] Surprise from Internode - upgrade speed

[Jan Whitaker]

Linkers,
I received a nice Easter present yesterday from Internode: an upgrade 
from 1.5 to 8M on my ADSL1 line, no extra charge. I am one of those 
holdovers as I've said before where the DSLAM for ADSL2+ wasn't 
possible for me. So this is a nice bonus in lieu. (Thanks, Simon!!) 
I've tested it out with the file download from the Internode cache 
and I'm getting between 5 and 6, which is probably realistic given my 
distance from the switch.

The funny thing is I downloaded a software upgrade and watched the 
higher speed BEFORE I got the notice of the upgrade. I thought, what 
is going on?! Did someone flip a switch? I guess they had!

Benefits: MUCH smoother video. I've noticed that downloads from the 
US still aren't great, though, but they are steady. That was for a 
couple podcasts I tried out. But local stuff is great.
