Fast internet is here, it's just not evenly distributed - in my apt 200 m down the road the numbers are not that impressive

Here at work it's about 3,5 Mb/s down and 0.4 up. At home with the same ISP it's probably more like 30 down and 10 up.

That's my work one.

Mah e-penor is kinda pathetic... Damn you Philip Ruddock!!

Ruddock? Is he holding your connection in detention?

Yeah, living outside the city boundaries, I am limited to the physical maximum of single copper wires used for classic telecomunications: 8 Mbit/s.

The 10 - 20 Mbit/s of modern debundled or fiberoptic conections are quite impressive though. Does anybody here have Virgin's Mother of all Broadbands?
Not sure if dedicated rented lines, used by companies and universities, should count though - when you browse the map for results you can certainly exclude them though

Hmm, it's possible I meant Alston, though I could have sworn Ruddock was communications minister at some point. Guess I might as well just damn the Howard Government root and branch and be done with it.

I think Comms is becoming, rather rapidly and alarmingly, like Defence.

"Look, just 'cause this chalice killed the last fifteen guys who drank from it, doesn't necessarily mean it'll kill you, ok?"

*sigh*

So I have a great ISP, but I'm let down by my physical location...

best,
