The backbone operation works quite well, except that they insist on assigning one of their IP addresses to your gateway, and they assign a silly name to go with it. The service has been pretty good in the 7 odd months I've been connected. Check out http://www.telstra.net/. Don't confuse this with their toy network at http://www.bigpond.com, which is very bad.
