[wellylug] depeer

[Michael Dittmer]

/me wishes he could choose another ISP.

The subdivision that I'm in only has TC lines (no Telecom lines at all) so I
can't get DSL. Also no wireless service is available in Trentham either.

/me wonders back off to the corner to sulk...

Hey Tony,

Yeah - true.

Because TelstraClear customers have to go overseas (international traffic) 
to get to a server that's on WIX now y'see.

If you can, I strongly suggest if you're a TelstraClear customer, that you 
change ISPs.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
