Yah, but I bet they don't charge anything like 17c a meg!

Eftel charge 2c a meg for WAIX traffic, which IMHO is either a ripoff or they 
don't understand what they're getting from WAIX. Nevertheless, a policy like 
that would be an improvement on full price.

Well... if your ADSL drops carrier once a month or less and for a minute or 
so only, a short (five-minutes or thereabouts) timeout on the DNS records 
makes this a reasonable proposition.
