I'm NOT exaggerating.

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.

60 isnt bad
5. cdevroe 1:46
that is normal for twitter

20mb down and 1mb up? Dude! I get 25% of that.
djsteen
That's NEVER what the real speed is though. lol.

So you can't up that limit with more money?
djsteen
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.

That is odd.

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

I only get 50 kbps at home, IF that... most of the time much slower. (I'm talking upload speed)
11. brandice 2:57
That's the part of your internet situation that I find to be ridiculous.

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)
djsteen
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.

Haha, omg don't say that on video. You'll be kidnapped by the government or something!
djsteen
I wonder if they have good internets in prison. :P

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.
