I am out of AU now on an extended trip and I tell you boy do I love the internet abroad. Many Australians seem unaware of exactly how much we get ripped. :roll: It is literally the bane of my existence. Australian internet service drives me to drink.

Apart from Telstra's pricing structure, which controls the market and prevents healthy competition, ISP's are going to charge for the services that will allow for speed and more download limits. They will be offering TV shows and movies etc for download but at an extra price. <br/><br/>Optus has now joined those who are including upload limits in download limits. I imagine a time when photo and video uploads are only possible if you subscribe to a paid service with your ISP.<br/><br/>The excuse given is too much bandwidth being used for illicit downloads but I reckon they are trying to restrict us now only so they can charge for services in the not too distant future.

Regardless of who is elected, it will be years before most of Australia has access to serviceable, cost effective, reasonably fast internet service.
