Sure. The prices haven't changed in probably 5 years. AUD$90 for 25GB Cable Broadband. Right now I'm paying $60 for 75GB ADSL2+ (which actually has really fast speeds). We'll see if I can manage to keep within that 75GB.

Yup. Hence why I want wireless broadband to offer unlimited bandwidth usage; then I can go get a mini laptop and use that to lifecast anywhere I go. For now, I dream.

Doing a lot on the same computer or connection as your lifecast generally kills the quality of my feed, so I don't do anything major while lifecasting. (WoW especially)

That's the part of your internet situation that I find to be ridiculous.

I only get 50 kbps at home, IF that... most of the time much slower. (I'm talking upload speed)

What a shame. We really don't have many limits except for wireless connections through cell towers.

Australia seems to have a lot going for it. I don't know if I could handle the Internet situation, though. I pay quite a lot for a relatively slow (1.5Mbps) connection via Speakeasy, because it comes with sane policies.

My life would be a lot different if I could lifecast. Funnily enough, I'd probably get out of the house more, AND I'd like to help people LIVE like Chris Pirillo does.
