I'm sitting here testing a 128K Aster connection and it appears to be better DNS wise than the 1.5MB Codetel DSL I have in the office.
The Aster connection is 128K down, but I have no idea what the up is?
On their site they do not say as far as I can tell.

Various speed tests:
My guess it would be a little quicker in the day time.
8pm is peak time and cable speed drops as more people get on the loop
unlike DSL.
I can pull up the Codetel home page, something I cannot do on my Codetel DSL connection.
Google, Hotmail, MSN, email etc appear to be fine, no problems.
Going by the trace route (below), they still use Codetel as their connection.
