Inphinity: Funny, AWS is one of my main issues as well. I am using my Telecom mobile as a wifi access point so I can connect and get work done.

Steam is probably a bit bandwidth intensive to do this.. Maybe if it was Telecom because at least they give out credit when they stuff up.. credit from TCL (other than refunding what they overcharged) was like blood from a stone. Something that Telecom did MUCH better than TCL, haven't had to tilt my lance at Vodafone on such an issue yet so be interesting to see how they compare.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

I'll believe that when it's been stable for a few days :P We've had issues since early Tuesday, albeit yesterday evening through to today has been the worst period of it.
