I'm sick of going over my Internet bandwidth in Australia.
I'm currently with TPG. I thought 75GB (40GB peak + 35GB off-peak) per month would be enough, but nope. I work in video production, so this isn't going to work.
Who wants to protest in the streets with me for better Aussie Internet?

Theoretically: 20Mbps (down) / 1Mbps (up)

It's faster than my parent's cable connection and it comes through the phone line (ADSL2+); awesome!

You should take that song from The Thomas Crown Affair ("Everything is never quite ennnoouuuugh") and change the words to "40 gigs is never quite enough..."

It will be a hit song and Australia will not be able to ignore your needs any longer!

You pretty much got spoiled by our internet here in the states.

Uh. Yah. The speed here is pretty good, but FiOs in the US is nuttzzzzz!

I really don't understand the point of bandwidth caps. ISPs make so much profit as it is; just open it up already!

I prefer Final Cut Express myself. Much more freedom in video editing!
