Just change home network to TPG adsl2+. Configuration is simple. The speed is good (~850KB/s), comparing my previous one’s 150KM/s (at maximum). Happy with it.
In order to send out email, need to update mail configuration.
TPG use
mail.tpg.com.au as pop3 server
mail.tpg.com.au as smtp server
I use mutt as mailer to receive mails and ssmtp as a sendmail agent.
mutt is easy, just update the “From ” tag at ~/.muttrc
ssmtp configuration took a bit time to sort. Two spots to upgrade
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
update this line
mailhub=mail.tpg.com.au
/etc/ssmtp/revaliases
change line alike this
local_user:tpg_user@tpg.com.au:mail.tpg.com.au
to check if the smtp server is responding
$ telnet mail.tpg.com.au 25
Trying 203.12.160.34…
Connected to mail.tpg.com.au.
Escape character is ”.
220 mail7.tpgi.com.au ESMTP Sendmail ready.

Connection closed by foreign host.
My argument is to use “x.y.z” where “x.y.z” resolves to your IP address instead of using “tpg.com.au” or something made up. Using just “tpg.com.au” will result in mail not being accepted by more strict mail servers. E.g. Exim’s “helo_try_verify_hosts” option:
