[clug] NextG results from the Bush

[Keith Goggin]

To those people who expressed an interest in my Bigpond 7.2 Home Network 
Gateway at the November meeting.

I downloaded openSUSE11.1-DVD-x86_64.iso overnight (4.33GB) from a bigpond 
repository in 4Hours 46Minutes. I think thats about 2 mbps, not bad for the 
bush.

I have a 14.5db Yagi on the roof and I'm 28kms from the tower at Coutts 
Crossing on the North Coast of NSW.

I think I seriously understated my ping times, the following is probably 
typical but it varies quite a bit at different time of the day.
