Make sure telstra have plugged you in to the correct router at their
end.  They have apparently been accidentally putting customers into the
wrong routers, handicapping the bandwidth while still charging them for
the plan they purchased (may or may not work out around the same cost
anyway).  If they do identify you as one of these people, well at least
for us it was a same-day fix.  Mind you, they don't notify you of
exactly when that day it'll be fixed, and you end up with no internet
connection right when you need it ;)
