I get like 1.5 mbps. Fuck you bastards.

Even if I upgraded to cable, I would only get around 3 mbps or something, since everyone and their grandma uses Comcast High Speed Cable Broadband in my area.

/me hates everyone that lives where they can get faster interwub than here, most of the hate is for the damn phone companies though

The fastest I could get here is 1500/768 DSL. Anything beyond that simply is not offered where I am, and even that costs an arm an a leg. We're probably paying the same here for 256/128 that some of you guys are paying for 3Mbps. Bloody Telstra.

At least we can actually get DSL now. They eventually got around to "upgrading" the exchange (they'd only added the capability to support 80 DSL connections, and then they seemed surprised when they ran out) two months ago, after just over nine months of keeping us waiting. Apparently, they'd ran out three months before we applied, so that's around a year it took them.

up until a few months ago though we only had access to 512/128 at reasonable ($45/$50-ish a month) prices for dsl. when sprint finally decided to move into the 21st century, we were able to upgrade to our current 1500/256 for the same prices as before. for around $5/$10 extra a month though we could upgrade to 3000/512

ADSL2 is coming here in July

I'm switching to that after my 6months no disconnection period is over, that way I don't have to pay money to get out of the service. After that I'm going for ADSL2, it's the same price as what I'm paying now!

Bet you're happy about the news of Lil Johnny running for a 5th term.

I'm happy that the VSU is coming in. Don't even get me started on student unions, I could write a thesis on why I hate them

I can't remember who I was looking at. Either vintek or TPG. I think...
