Agreed. Unless you're intending to use multiple VoIP providers (Which  
does has its advantages) the Billion 7401VG would be more  
appropriate. If you're after wireless, then you may want to take a  
look at the 7401VGPM. In addition, the "M" supports Annex +M which  
allows up to 2Mbit upstream. However, your ISP also needs to support  
and enable this on your connection (It's more common for businesses  
to take advantage of this).

Okay, I realise I'm going off on a tangent here. In short, get the  
Billion. I highly recommend Warcom, they're Victorian based and  
deliver Australia wide.

<--- They have the 7401VP in stock for $150.

Good luck,
