[wellylug] Woosh + VoIP + iTalk

[Chris Harris]

I think I owe Woosh a public apology, I phone them up and told them of
my woes (by this time ping times were up to 20s) now:

That's while checking email and buying a rotary inductor on trademe.

Sorry Woosh.
Thanks Woosh.

It's also worth mentioning that they seem to be one of the pleasanter
ISPs around to deal with.
