I live in australia for a couple years. They'll probably give that kind of speed to the home. Then give you a ridiculous bandwidth cap with very high cost when you go over that limit.
Yeah, pretty much. I'm in Sydney right now, and they are fucking insane on the caps, prices and overage fees.

It's basically a big joke. Needless to say I now use surf the channel exclusively to download all my shows and I only download at itet cafes.
Which is why you shouldn't use Bigpond full stop, they count uploads and downloads as one. Not that I'm nick picking. As for an updated network, we are still awaiting digital TV and ADSL2+ where I'm at, and I can't see any change in the near future. 8 billion or not, most of it hits the big cities, and draft meetings at the local 5 star.
