Im not saying that adsl isnt reliable, just that there is no guarantee
within aus, as you would already know. If the service goes out, it could
be out for many days as it gets a lower priority than voice, frame, atm,
isdn, emergency, gprs, gsm etc etc. Ive also had uptimes on my home adsl
of 60+ days, but i dont, and wouldnt run a mail server on it, even
though i chose the current adsl provider because they set thier rdns in
a suitable manner for the static ip customers.
