[MLB-WIRELESS] Internet Access, was: New node, very interesting stumbles.

[Brenton D.]

So you guys actually follow your isp's AUP?

Quote from an optusnet user, i do not know this user i found this via a 
google search

" Because XXXX are running Optusnet cable internet...Speeds will vary 
because Optusnet are tight arse bastards who cap upload speeds at 16k/sec. 
What? You don't want clients running servers with their internet? Well my 
parents don't pay $70.00 a month for me not to run services."

Thanks Brenton
