i was there today and had a looksy for trent, id say its on bigponds end, hes only syncing at 800kbps not the 20000 or so he should be. he said the exchange is on the same block as him so there is no way he should be loosing so much in his sync. and to who ever suggested that the rain/water weve been having might affect it, id say that this is whats causing it, a fair few exchanges got f**ked up over the last week thnx to the heavy rain weve been having... told him to give bigpond a buzz and get them to see wtf is going on
