Well...I live in the
capital city of my country. My house is less than 10 years old, yet I am limited to 1500/256k ADSL, capped at 40GB d/l (shaped thereafter). I, like most Australians, am a victim of the Telstra infastructure monopoly (and they are not even my ISP).
And the cost for this luxury? AU$70
per month!
And I consider myself lucky. Some of my friends that live up the road were on dialup until 12 months ago!
And I'm willing to bet that there's
many people reading this that wish they had what I have.
It's very funny reading posts from (mainly) Americans saying that if you have slow internet then you must be living in the sticks, thus don't deserve to play SH5. Get a dose of reality guys - there's a big wide world beyond your shores.
