... Does Google not have any data centers in Australia? (Granted, it isn't a given that Stadia might run out of those DCs, but with Borg, I don't see why they couldn't.)
- baroffoos 7y agoThat won't help. The connection to your house in Australia is using ancient copper lines that is all rotted out and stops working in the rain. In absolute best case conditions you could use this service but most of the country would struggle to stream 1080p reliably. The internet upgrade in Australia (NBN) is well known as the biggest government fuck up in the last 20 years.
- FridgeSeal 7y ago> and stops working in the rain For anyone who thinks this is hyperbole, I assure you it's not, my internet quite literally grinds to a halt when it rains too much.
- ClassyJacket 7y agoThis is not a joke or an exaggeration, thanks to the NBN being switched from fibre to copper, my parents now have no internet when it rains, is windy, or there is lightning in the area. All to upgrade them from 13Mbps to 17Mbps. Yes, I'm being serious.
- topkeks 7y agoThey have one in Sydney. Only European and North American countries were listed in the launch announcement. I'd expect Australia and Asian countries, where Google have data centers, to follow some time later.
