Telstra's selfishness and greed is the sole reason that Australia lags so far behind the rest of the Western world when it comes to broadband...
I possibly hate Telstra more than any other company, which is saying a LOT..
Apparently there is a new way of getting broadband being tested in rural QLD at the moment when u connect via the power lines - finally something that doesn't have to touch Telstra's overpriced network....can't wait :) |

I guess the only thing we can really tangibly do is sit and wait for the best.
Hopefully these new technologies will bloom, and hopefully this opens up new doors for broadband access.

| Telstra's even worse. I started off with an unlimited account. Then, they slapped a 3GB limit on it, then they raised the price by 20 bucks a month and said you can still pay the original monthly fee but you have to go down to a 1GB limit. WTF am i gonna do with 1 GB |

| Broadband internet in Australia is ing , even bill Gates had a go at Telstra for them being such tight arses with the internet, i mean the least they could do is give free traffic within australia, or within the specific state, there is plenty of bandwidth just sitting there not being used which will cost them nothing to transfer. But I don't see that happening, the only people that have utilised that is Netspace with their ADSL plans, they give free traffic between all netspace users, so it doesnt count toward their download limit. |

well if it downloads data then yeah....
i think the only free downloads is with a couple of providers who have free traffic b/w users |

any incoming data that is transferred from the internet to your computer is considered as 'downloading' so if you were to listen to streaming radio stations, whether its a shoutcast server, real media stream... etc. It is all counted as downloading, even chatting on irc and msn and icq and programs alike, are all counted as download traffic, even though they are very small packets of data.
hope this helps :) |
