"150kBps is within spec."<br>

How is it legal then to sell a service purporting to be up to
8mbps?! Why did Telscum even open up the DSLAMs then?<br>
<br>
(And I pay $99, so I hear you.)<br>

Hrm, farmer Joe wants to POP3 an email from grandson; surely he
needs fibre to his 100 acre property!<br>
<br>
Hrm, IT professional like me in the "big smoke" needs a
bucketload more bandwidth, to do his job... nah, 1.2mbps is
within spec.<br>
<br>
Oh that's right -- voting against someone who's fit and wears
budgie smugglers is far more important!<br>

I'll continue now to be held to ransom by Telstra, paying
for a 8mbps DSL1
service with anti-competitive, congested backhaul and
getting the performance
of 1mbps (if I'm lucky).<br>
<br>
Sure, regional may not even get anywhere near 1, but how is
me not even having
a choice of provider and hence independent backhaul fair?<br>
<br>
My personal bet is that most of regional won't even care
(speaking from
experience as my father is regional).<br>
<br>
I care.<br>
