Don't live in Australia but my internet got really slow a few days ago for no reason. It went from 1.5mb/s down to 120kb/s. I'm not sure of the cause yet but it seems to be back to normal. I'm thinking it had something to do with the bad weather since we have wireless internet and there was a huge snowstorm.
I'm thinking of plugging my internet straight into the modem. But the modem is downstairs with the main computer (my dads) and my computer and laptop are upstairs. So we can't plug it straight in, any ideas? Wireless is just too annoying for me.
