Late follow up I know (New Year etc - have a happy one) but I thought I
should endorse WC/Compass in public after having given them some stick
in the past.

Now I've installed dd-wrt on my Linksys router it's been working very
well for me for both Inet and VoIP.  Excellent pings - under 15ms to
ICONZ (my ISP) and the Italk sipserver - bandwidth is within 5% of
stated and averages out well.  Service costs $69.95 for 1Mbps/256Kbps &
5GBs/mth, if you can't see the Sky Tower they have a number of other
POPs around the Auckland region - I point to the Otahuhu sub-station.

Inet and VoIP services haven't dropped a beat since I changed the router
and I can drop the $45 I pay to Telecom - just don't use a Linksys
router (or at least Linksys firmware).

Regards,
M.
