In a previous post I had a bit of a combined whinge about MS downloads and bandwidth limits in Australia. Today I read a new article at SMH that made me even more angry.
Living in Australia has a Downside
This may come as a surprise, but living in Australia can have it downsides 
Right now I can only think of one, and that's (part of) the reason for this post.
We may have constant sunshine, lovely beaches and a lifestyle to die for, but our broadband just sucks. That's a fairly sweeping statement, so let me clarify a little more.
Broadband plans in this country are extremely poor value. The service that you receive for the amount you pay is substandard. It's that simple. Those of you in places like the UK, USA and Hong Kong may find it obscure to consider that a country exists where you can't get an unlimited data connection for DSL. You may also find it difficult to believe that some connection speeds are cut to that of a dial-up connection if you download too much. But that's exactly what happens here.
