>Basslink provides both internet and power to the state of Tasmania, Australia.

>Tasmania has 3 cables connecting it to the rest of the world, two 2.5Gbps cables (through ISP Telstra) + one 640Gbps cable (connected to basslink).

>21 December 2015 it was announced the Basslink was disconnected due to a faulty interconnector approximately 100 kilometres off the Tasmanian coast. This cut off both power and the internet connection. It is still not repaired.

There are potentially 500,000+ (~80k households) people using this shared 5Gbps connection kekareenos

Stop complaining about your 20/2 >30 ping connections, rest of world.

I'm wondering, haven't I seen people post speed tests where their connection was like 1000mbps?

They've got a connection to their university 1/5 as fast as the state of Tasmania? KEK

You won't find one in Tasmania. European are the first inhabitants. You won't find a lot of black people either.

This map looks like Africa with its middle part nuked and sunk into the sea. Do want.

On one hand, I'd probably kill myself if I had no internet

on the other, a slow connection sounds pretty comfy at times

Tasmania sounds fucking awesome but it's so far away, I'm not prepared to go so far from my friends and family without damn good reason, and the shitty internet is the dealbreaker because if I am going to be that far away I at least need to be able to hold solid video chats on a regular basis.

Incorrect, Tasmania has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years. There is an extremely small indigenous population, I think there are <5,000 of them actually living there and most of them live in swampy mudhuts so you're never going to run into them anyway.

I once tried Australian wine. It was awful. But that may be cause I'm a spoiled European
>>
>>53392828
I'm a 'spoiled European' and prefer new world wines. They're sweeter and easier for beginners.

>once
stellar attempt there. each region has good and bad wine, and then there's wine that's not to your preference.

My home isp connection is gigabit, personal, not some uni shared shit. It's only that good within Russia though, dropping rapidly when testing speed to Europe, but it's still enough to saturate my hdd when torrenting.

I'd rather have dial-up and live in Australia tho.

Who cares about slow internet when Tassie has the best apple cider in the world? If I lived in Tassie, I'd be too drunk to give a shit, I'd be absolutely smashed on those delicious fermented apples all day every day for the rest of my life!
