[LINK] Wi-Fi

[Richard Chirgwin]

David,

The top speed offered on BigPond cable at the moment is 100M bits/s:
<http://go.bigpond.com/broadband/?ref=Net-Head-Int-Plans-Broadband>

Anyhow, ignoring potential errors in Speednet, YMMV. If Philip is on a 
heavily contested node, or if there's a big torrenter on the same coax 
run, it's quite feasible that he'll be complaining about poor speed from 
a service you're perfectly happy with.

Cheers,
RC
