I used a Maestro Woomera for 5-6 years before satellite, and it was nothing short of brilliant. It adjusted itself to the best average speed on the condition of the line, and here the telephone line is little better than a string between two tin cans. It even worked, though at a reduced download speed, after a lightning strike on the line. That was the only time it required any attention, but didn't leave me in the Internet dark while I found one to borrow before I sent it away from repair. The only problem is the cost, it's not cheap, but then I repeat myself.
