Chris receives his broadband via a wireless network.  I've found calls to NZ 
very variable.  I've had two hour calls as good as a PSTN call to the house 
next door but other times there has been horrendous latency, other times 
calls have dropped out. Apparently it gets worse at 'popular' times of  the 
day.  I'm sure that things will improve rather than get worse
