hmmmm, not sure, but since their fixes and the return of my northcliff speed's, I find the need to ping the shiat out of stuff to get a connection going, not nessacary anymore.
I still have to run a continuous background ping, according to "Smitty" @ WBS the OTA-firmware should have fixed that and everything else that went wrong with WBS iBUrst (except RWIN which he said everyone must set to 17136 ).
