You have my sympathy! High speed broadband? Here we have fibre to the node and then 1.2Km of ancient copper which is terminated in a pit at our gate... a pit that fills with water every time it rains. A joke indeed; they only pulled in one bundle for the whole suburb, so when all the schoolkids come home the already pitiful speed plummets. We still don't have broadband and likely never will because they didn't drag in enough fibre to connect everybody. The assumption by companies like Xara and Magix that everybody is connected is a fallacy and basing products on a fallacy is doomed to failure.
