I'd just like to say that I'm an Aussie who lives outside of the major metropoles. You see, not everyone in Australia lives in Sydney, contrary to what some people may think. 'Most' People (outside of Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra/etc) get really excited about the day when they can finally get off 56k dialup and onto ADSL (not ADSL2+). So 1.5Mbs is about as fast as the general population can go. Unfortunately, a LOT of people don't live close enough to an exchange to even get any form of DSL.
We just hope and pray that one day we will get something a little faster than the FRAUDband we have grown to accept as 'fast'.
