also sometimes see d/l speeds in excess of this (150 KB/s) but this may be

due to engineering work etc?

Upload speeds are not particularly good - can vary a lot but average seems

Latency is an issue - so not so good for games / vid conf / serious FTP

oking for good d/l speeds but don't mind about latency issues.

Cost is somewhere around =A370 per month IIRC - BT will connect second
