With the move to my new place, and the unavailability of ADSL, I have fallen back on the Unwired service. It's a wireless network over Sydney, very easy if you're roaming or need a backup plan. Only the traffic paths are euhm... relatively strange...

From the Unwired network to the BarNet service network:

traceroute to 202.83.176.1 (202.83.176.1), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1 r220-101-28-1.gwy.unwired.net.au (220.101.28.1)  
 2 v1676-cr1.equ.syd.bbn.unwired.net.au (220.101.190.105) 
 3 ge-2-2.br2.equ.syd.bbn.unwired.net.au (220.101.190.206) 
 4 202.167.228.16 (202.167.228.16) 
 5 syd010.pacific.net.au (61.8.0.20) 
 6 FastEthernet0-0-0.syd005.pacific.net.au (61.8.2.253) 
 7 fe0-22.ross-glb.comindico.com.au (210.23.140.214) 
 8 ge4-0.wsr03-kent-syd.comindico.com.au (203.194.29.244) 
 9 ns1.barnet.com.au (202.83.176.1)  

From the Unwired network to the BarNet VoIP network:

traceroute to 202.83.178.1 (202.83.178.1)
 1 r220-101-28-1.gwy.unwired.net.au (220.101.28.1)  
 2 v1676-cr1.equ.syd.bbn.unwired.net.au (220.101.190.105)  
 3 ge-2-2.br2.equ.syd.bbn.unwired.net.au (220.101.190.206)  
 4 203.94.172.37 (203.94.172.37)  
 5 AS24228.sydney.pipenetworks.com (218.100.2.31)  
 6 voip-equipment-1.barnet.com.au (202.83.178.1)  

From the BarNet network to the Unwired network:

traceroute to 220.101.29.114 (220.101.29.114)
 1  AS9837.sydney.pipenetworks.com (218.100.2.41)  
 2  aggr-rtrsw01-vlan2.powertel.net.au (202.92.64.129)  
 3  210.87.9.230 (210.87.9.230)  
 4  ge-2-2.cr1.equ.syd.bbn.unwired.net.au (220.101.190.205)  
 5  v1676-ar1.hur.syd.bbn.unwired.net.au (220.101.190.107)  
 6  r220-101-29-114.cpe.unwired.net.au (220.101.29.114)  

As you see, a lot of different paths...
