UPDATE: I went down to a mates house to check on his wireless network but, I thought I would try mine first being that he lives about 35kms away from me. Its working fine. Download took seconds and its currently updating at a nice speed. Do you have any idea perhaps why this is? Perhaps trouble with my local mobile phone tower? I'm a little stumped. Perhps there were issues here in Australia that have now been rectified. I will check tomorrow once I'm home and see how it rolls then.

I cannot thank you enough for all your suggestions and valuable help Jakuk. I really, truly appreciate al the time you have taken to help me out mate! I will place a post up tomorrow after I see how things go at home.

Thanks again
