I never usually feel strongly enough about anything to say I "Rate" it.
However I transferred to the NBN with Internode today and am getting 24.9 Mbps compared with the 4.5 Mbps or so that my previous ADSL2+ plan could deliver at my distance from the exchange.

Clocking in at 82.1 this morning after being 98.6 on July 9 last year.

I had got down in the 82's a couple of times recently but struggled to get under 84 since mid Jan. Got back up to 86.6 around Christmas.

About 178cm, the doctor said a couple of weeks ago that I'm still marginally overweight for my height, I found it a bit rough.

Those who know it properly don't call it BMI, they call it Quetelet's Index. Giving due recognition to the French Sociologist who invented it in the 19th century

it does discriminate against those who are more dense than others..... ;)

I think you'll find it's a measure of people's height and weight, not how well they go at Trivial Pursuit.

I'm happy with 24.9 because I am only paying for the 25Mbps service.
I'll upgrade if I ever decide I need faster...
