I'm curious, have you used the checker and can you get 8M at your new 
address? I'm with freedom2surf (f2s.com) but can't get 8M yet (although 
the 2M package is pretty good IMHO).

I use a cheap generic adsl modem/router which comes with a built in 4 
port switch. It has a fairly good web control panel, firewall, dmz etc. 
So it's far less hassle than Smoothwall (for me).
