It's probably as true as any other over-generalization.

My daughter and 3 other uni friends have a share-house in the eastern 
suburbs of Melbourne. TPG could supply them with an ADSL2 service with 
phone and unlimited data far cheaper than I could even buy it myself. They 
get 19 Mbps sync rate and between the 4 of them manage to get close to 
that pretty much all the time. (I can barely believe the amount of data 
those 4 suck each month and thank my lucky stars *I* am not paying for it)
