We have to be the absolutely worst country for internet connections! expensive and slow!!! As a result i'm stuck on dial-up because i can not get adsl and live in a blackspot for wireless internet!!! desperately waiting for the NBN rollout to my area until then what do? Migrate to another country for fast cheap internet? I'm so sick of this sh**!!

When I was in a rural setting it took the community to put a petition in to get adsl,. I must say that now I live in a regional centre (Ballarat) things are much better, still somewhat expensive 100gig at 30mbs for $60 The ISP can supply 100mbs but that gets darned expensive. But look on the bright side in a couple of years time we will all have a top rate service provided the mad monk does not pull the nbn when in gets in.
