I've checked with 3 others in my area with ICE and they say the very same thing is happening to them so its not just me.

Just want to check here are other Ice users having problems.

Has anyone noticed ICE is also one of the most expensive wireless broadband in the country too at this stage. Since all the other ISPs have increased their speeds Ice have not. Another provider came knocking on the door last week who are going to start up in my area. I'm just waiting on a price list so i can compare.
