Curious George: Best Internet? I had had SO much trouble with trying to keep up an internet connection lately. I mean HOURS, total days even trying to get Verizon dsl to work a simple (I won't even mention, Netgear - may their router AND their "switcher" cum "ladder" become crushed, and then ground into dust, before being burned...) But we don't even HAVE cable TV right now. They do make curious offers. I would love some kind of advice! Should I switch?

Yes, you can promise too much - Australia is still without a government, but the conservative leader has not had a good week. Aside from getting burned for offering A$1B for a new hospital in Hobart, turns out there is about A$7B worth of issues with their proposed budget. Something for the politics junkies out there.
