Haha, omg don't say that on video. You'll be kidnapped by the government or something!

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.

That is odd.

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

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.

I'm NOT exaggerating.

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.
