Earlier I had standard 8/1 ADSL wich costs 299 SEK (aprox 45 USD) a month.
To that comes the fixed cost for the phone, a total of aprox 66 USD a
month.

The new "30-60 Mb up" and "up to 12 Mb" down costs 599 SEK (aprox 90
USD a month), butt that also includes the phone as such (IP-phone).

My measured speeds from my laptop are aprox 59.5 Mb down and 11.5 Mb up.
My office is aprox 400 m from the exchange. (At home we are 1.5 km from
te excange and are "limited" to the current 24 Mb down/2 Mb up line.)

The office does not need the higher down-link speed realy, this was
mostly to get a higher speed for my servered (PDF) documents.

Well, it is setup to simply "work". :-)
Sometimes you just need to rely on it.

Found out that DynDNS only uses AUTH, so plain TCPIP/Services doesn't
work anyway... A well...

You need an agreement with them to use that, right ?
They need to know your IP-adress, not ?
