The rest of the world is fast moving towards 1000mb/s internet meanwhile I'm sitting here in Sydney with my 'Ultra-fast' 6mbps ADSL. I can't even watch HD youtube properly and these amazing advances are going on well beyond my reach. Australia is quickly lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of technology and it needs to make serious roads toward correcting that if it wants to be taken seriously on a global stage. /rant
- Veratyr 11y agoI think it's even worse that we _started_ moving towards gigabit (the NBN was going to announce gigabit service just after the last election) and then elected a government that's moving us _back_ to cable.

My area is already 'serviced' by cable according to NBN Co. and isn't due for a rollout until after the end of 2016 and even then the current cable where available is overloaded as is. Even if I can get hooked up to it it will likely not be an improvement.
