Here's a good start http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/

Having said that, cable is the way to go for gaming.  Better latency and on average, better speed.

I get pings of 10-20ms on ADSL2, and the only outages I've had have been modem issues.

Speeds are only around 1-1.5MB/second though.

Hey, more details, what does your modem do... after lightning, not turn on.... fails to connect, uncontactable  by ethernet connection... as a simply UPS may fix all and any future issue's.....
