Hey guys, an Aussie here, : )
Saying that you must already be thinking that I am screwed, and you're probably right. On a good day, my ADSL2+ Broadband download speed is somewhere around about 150 kbps.
However, I am downloading part of the Humble Indie Bundle at the moment and I am at 65.7 kbps
For Gaming, on COD4 my ping never drops below 100... just as an example.
I pay $99 a month, but I get the home phone line rental for free, and all calls to other landlines in Australia are free too, although not international or mobile calls...
My Data allowance caps out at 20 GB each month, and if I go over I am charged 15c per megabyte I use. Happy Days eh? : )
Oh, I just thought I should add this: In the time it took me to write this, my download in the background had dropped from the speed I mentioned before to just 32 kbps. I am the only one using the internet at the moment...
Did I mention I live about half an hour from the center of Adelaide? That's the Capital City of South Australia.
