I was just curious about everyones internet connection?

Mine is poor.
Actually, it's so freaking poor that my country has the 2nd worst internet service in the First world.. WTF?!?!

It is so crapola here that I dont even have ADSL..
Nope, Telstra (the monopoly telephone/internet company) cannot provide for all of Australia.. So sad.

I am currently on Radio internet.. It is Really fast..
When:-

-The wind is non-existant
-There is no rain
-No thunder/storms (fair enough)
-Temperature is too high or low..
-When it jsut decides to work.

The list is never ending.

So, what's your connection like?

I'm with Telstra Bigpond. How my plan works:

I pay $60 a month for:

A download limit that I exceed in 10 days
A slowed 64kbps download speed
A frustratingly poor support team
Incredibly expensive options

Although 12GB a month is usually enough, when you are a serious gamer and have a music-addicted brother and a real-estate addicted father and a mother who uses the computer for nothing other than e-mails - all on the one computer - your usage goes pretty quick.

Fortunately, I think we're upgrading to 25GB a month but paying $20 extra. Not sure.
