Should it not be getting better than dial-up speed? I am downloading something and it's coming down at around 15kb/s. Would love to know if it's meant to be faster I just got our laptop connected to Next G Wireless Prepaid Broadband.

The NextG network truly is the best Australia has to offer in that particular space – just the plans that suck.

I am currently using Optus and have so-far loaded $140 of credit on in a week, because the service re-directs to a page which says recharge is necessary. All the credit is there, but the service (and my own ignorance)conned me. The "boot" rate (getting disconnected during a session) is similar to early dial-up, and setting the connection up in the first place was time-consuming and frustrating. The Zoo is a zoo!</p> One can only hope Telstra’s service is an improvement on Optus’.
