I would suggest Ian, overclocking himself, but there is proof that this

leads to electron migration.



Having an Austel limit of -10dBm or -11dBm means nothing (it is just a figure

pulled out of a hat, because some penpusher needs a figure), if Telstra's

equipment (linecards & such) and our modems, are not optimized

(matched, tuned) to peak performance.



 My beef is with Telstra apathy, not seeing a job through.
