[G Smith]

That just doesn't seem right does it?

[t00lb0x]

no, it just doesn't

[Mr.Tweak]

Coming from Telstra this should not be a surprise to anyone... :no:

[Wiggo]

It doesn't surprise most of us Aussies as this is why we pay such rediculous prices for internet connections and have caps in most cases as Hell$tra owns the communications backbone of the country. :cry:

[Sunshine]

monopolies (not the game!) are a terrible thing, aren't they?

for example, the country that I will be moving too in June, I have to pay equivalent of 800 US$ / month (!!!) to get the service I am getting here for 45 US$/month....:cry:

[Kheldar]

(which is why despite ADSL being available in my exchange, I can't get it)
