Jethro,

How is the performance on you TC cable connection.  I  have one at work
(10Mbit cable) and it's performance is very poor.  Connections to
ftp.nz.debian.org is only at about 160kB/s where as my home maxnet ADSL
does 400 - 700kb/s.  I find that I can't seem to get anything at all
above 400kB/s.  I am actually considering dropping it altogether and
going to another maxnet ADSL as it seems to be more reliable and heaps
faster for NZ based traffic.
