From a youtube vid my brother showed me, downloading 1 gig file only takes approx 5 minutes in korea... how come it takes like... 5 hours here? Is the government restricting some shit so we have to pay moar or is it just that Telstra sucks balls?

we're also not as densely populated as korea, therefore our infrastructure and pricing can't match places like korea, japan, etc. because it costs a lot more to cover the same amount of area than in those places.

korea has 3 times as many people in a place the size of victoria. obviously much easier to provide the infrastructure required to provide higher internet speeds

Probably find it wasnt even a net connection, it was probably a LAN connection.

Have you heard, bigpond is planning to offer 100mbps download speeds. Visit Whirlpool Broadband News to view the discussion which is located in the bigpond section

100mpbs will download a gig fairly quickly
