It's okay, soon we'll have a new monopoly to whinge about: NBN Co. ;) The real problem here is the quotas on broadband connections, although that is in part due to the cost of hauling almost all the data half-way around the globe. The even more horrendous problem, which is so pervasive it affects everyone, is the insistence on asymmetric connections. Even when Australia does get this fabled fibre-to-the-home, it still won't be symmetric. *sigh* Regards, Ben -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
