[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 58120"] I work for a telecommunications company in Australia and compared to Europe, North America and South Korea the internet here is slow, slow, slow. Still faster than the pathetic speeds that New Zealand get though. The fastest speed that most Australians have access to is 1500kbps. The reason that Australia, and to the same extent in NZ, has such slow internet is because of the infrastructure that is controlled by a monopoly. The companies that have the monopoly dictate to all of the other companies the level of technology that they have access to. Geographically the two countries are very different but that does not explain why Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland do not get international-standard broadband speed. It comes back down to not supplying top service to consumers that don't have a choice but to take, and be happy with what is essentially a trumped-up dial-up speed. [/QUOTE]
