I have been restarting my modem every morning for the last week now, and today I can see ADSL2+ is here!

So restart your modems everyone!

UPDATE: Looks like we are going to be completely switched on the 8th. Hang on tight!

But I'm still getting 7.6mbps...

Is there still something?

I'm using the Gen I DSL-504T (generic, NZ firmware V3.00B02.NZ.20060711). Does the restriction I've been hearing affect my one as well (I thought it only affected _TX Telecom ones)

Here are some shots of my Jailbroken iPod Touch running 1.1.3 after using the iJailbreak method I posted about the other day.

• Summerboard is now working
• Installer 'Main script execution failed' problem has been solved by doing this in SSH

  cd /
  cd Applications/
  wget http://repository.apptapp.com/packages/System/Installer.zip
  rm -rf Installer.app
  unzip Installer.zip
  chmod +s Installer.app/Installer
  chown -R root:wheel Installer.app
  rm Installer.zip

  This downloads the latest installer.app. I fixed mine another way, by setting the correct permissions via ssh then updating installer within installer.
• Runs very well.
• Maps, Mail, Webclips, lyrics, Weather...etc All run perfectly

For a while reeltime.tv seemed like the only alternative for legal movie downloads in Australia and New Zealand.

Except that if you visit the site you will find there's a very little catalogue available - with movies that I wouldn't hire for a Tuesday soirée.

The Reeltime Media ASX page says:

Principal activities: Broadband TV Content aggregator and operator - direct from hollywood licensee for movie downloads - both rental and own. Company provides content & operations to ISP, retail and media partners. Company has aggregated content suitable for PC and Set Top Box IPTV delivery. Company also retails games and music via its online website

I don't see a decent on-line movie delivery in New Zealand anytime soon. Do you?
