Here is the update.... And its not good news...
I am moving to Canberra on Monday the 22nd.
Unfortunately the unit I'm moving into will not allow an ADSL connection, the entire block is on a Pair Gain phone system, so that means even dial up is slower, like 2.5KBps.
As a result I may try ISDN but the chances are slim that this type of Pair Gain system will allow ISDN type connections. That will give me 7KBps and will be enough for a decent ping.
It a blessing in desgise really, I need to get away from this pc and the internet in general, I spend toooo much of my time leeching and playing games. Me is getting a life!
I will still go to lans in Canberra and Sydeny (SGL rocks), but this black duck will only be playing in zero fun nights when I can find a lan cafe and its not frezzing cold in the ACT.
So, that the score, maybe in 8-12 months I may try to move in the ACT or back to Sydney, I really dont know, but life is going to be strange without a high speed broadband connection.
