lolol. tpg on telstra DSLAM = fail
TPG on TPG DSLAM = win
also I ripped out all the old shitty wiring in my house and laid down fresh Cat6 cable and got telstra to come change the cable from the post to my house to a new one as well before I ditched them for TPG.
result... getting 1.5Mb - 1.8Mb (megabytes, not bits) per second on torrents.
Don't bother with customer service though, it goes to Phillipines and sucks donkey balls. Also the phone is changed to a VOIP line if you switch to a TPG DSLAM, which can suck if you're dependent on that sorta shit liek with an alarm or sending faxes like a povo kent.
