[plug] Grumble, grumble, Windows strikes again

[Leon Brooks]

I'm currently shopping around for broadband access, and discovered a couple 
of interesting things after talking to iiNet. One of them is that they filter 
``code red,'' or in other words *all* HTTP access to their ADSL clients. 
Thanks for that, Bill.

The other is that iiNet don't actually own any DSLAMs, they're all owned by 
Telstra. So if you buy ADSL through (for example) Indigo, you're getting it 
from a reseller for iiNet who in turn are a reseller for Telstra. The current 
choice in ADSL with affordable download limits is really Telstra or Telstra. 
Not healthy.

One other thing, if you get iiNet's ``unlimited'' ADSL account, it's 
throttled at 10GB/month. The iiNet bloke was unable to tell me how throttled.

Cheers; Leon
