[clug] Recommended cabling person?

[Leigh Finch]

Hi Alan,
http://www.adsl2exchanges.com.au gives a reasonable estimate of what
speeds you might expect at your home.

Everyone,
I have the contact details of a good cabler, but I'm not willing to hand
them out in a public forum, contact me off list if you want them.

Cheers
Leigh
