Re: [OT] NEW DSL Option

The wholesale service from Request goes up to 6mb/640k in ADSL format and
2mb/2mb SDSL, so possibly Netspace are using Request for some services and
Telstra for others. At present Request are only in Syd / Mel / Bris /
Perth, but from what I've been told they are meant to be installing
infrastructure from early next year here in SA. Might be another option for
people, be prepared to pay for a decent service though :)
