fl.com.au connects (basically) directly to wallangar.syd.connect.com.au,
so...

----wallangar.syd.connect.com.au PING Statistics----
20 packets transmitted, 20 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 119/214/321

----fl.com.au PING Statistics----
20 packets transmitted, 16 packets received, 20% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 154/280/514

I think it's about time people (in particular some ISP operators) realised
they can't just blame Telstra for all of their network problems - especially
when they aren't even (directly at least) a customer of TIS!!

It's not _the_ national gateway, it's _A_ national gateway. There are at
least three networks involved here, there's fl.com.au, connect.com.au, and
Telstra. From the pings above it would seem the problems lies with the
first of these.

Depends... when do you intend to upgrade your connection to connect.com ??
