RE: ADSactly Fun - The Internet is broken??

in #fun7 years ago

I connect with this article a lot. We have terrible internet here in Australia as most of you probably know. This is what I'm currently sitting on,
badnet
and today is a good day.
My speeds drop to 0.30Mbps whenever it rains and that's so slow doing anything important over the internet impossible, It frustrates me to no end and I end up less productive because I get annoyed with it. Our constant access to the hive mind we call the internet has driven us to addiction!

Sort:  

I am totally surprised by that. I thought that down in Oz you would have stonking fast and reliable internet! Is this the same all over our is it better in cities and poor out with?

They've been in the process of rolling out the "NBN" National Broadband Network. But that's only Fibre to the Node so its not exactly the next big step. I've heard from people in Melbourne that the universities have generally good internet, and if you're in the right area you could have FTTP but it's not too common. Generally yes though in the cities is much better up to a couple hundred Mbps.
