This is bullshit, why do we have such shitty service in this country?
Because your country is at the ass end of the world, and contrary to popular belief data does take time to cover distance.

>>318234738
Use OzGames for Steam codes.
Sure, it might seem like the same price, but OzGames uses dollary-doos, meaning that you pay way less.
I don't have a problem with speed. I just moved house and the only internet I've got now is shitty phone mobile data. It is that shitty Optus $2 a day thing. I can get 500mb for $2 which isn't bad since it is just meant for phone use rather than tethering. I usually just stick with small filesize games but I bought Lost Planet 2 because it is fun as fuck and it is 8.4GB and I wanna install it but I can't easily justify spending $40 on credit just to use the mobile data to download it.
I'll do it anyway. I don't like having money. I buy smokes and drugs when I have money and I'm trying to stop.

The problem here is not the distance, it's the network topology and capacity of the cables.

At least you have nice weather and not this bullshit that is rural victoria. 31 one day then the next 14 then back to 28.
If you vote for the Greens I hope you get killed in a horrific car accident.

its like that all over melbourne you whiny cunt.

Norway.
For perspective, in the HDI America is 5th, and in the inequality-adjusted HDI (which takes into account the super-rich skewing the results,) America is 28th.
We are second on the list both in inequality adjusted and inadjusted, which means we are both wealthy and have a small divide between the rich and poor.

>Gay marriage is a nonissue unless you're a bible thumping fuckboi.
>Labor is still very exclusionary in terms of immigration, letting in too many migrants would be political suicide in this climate.
>Military spending only used for endless proxy wars, furthering America's interests so that they'll come rescue us when Indonesia or China wants to expand.
Labor is the obvious choice if you're working class and not an easily scared retard.

>this is the only party with reason backed decisions

How did this happen /v/?
>>318242975
People who whinge about cutting the military spending are dumb cunts and a half. We don't even need the size we have now. I'm down for cutting it and sending thousands of the infantry faggots drop outs who do nothing but suit in base and collect 60k a year.
>>318243000
literally kill yourself

Whole spectrum shifted right for no reason around the Rudd/Gillard years. Large corporations using the news media to further their interests.

Honestly the damage has already been done, I don't think the NBN plan is going to return to how it should be if the Libs are voted out.
Still, I plan to vote Labour out of fucking spite.
Because we use all the bandwidth shit posting.

Bravo

Exactly. It's a nonissue.

Where is this major city that can get rid of the internet and still function after a year?
Where I live the dead centre of town is on adsl2 and the only places getting nbn are an hours drive from town centre in shitty areas getting new housing developments because they wont install adsl2 anymore.

>NBN coming to my area in a year according to new plans
>will probably be delayed or be completely congested because government is literally retarded
>pay $95 a month for 1.1MB/s telstra adsl2 because every other ISP in my area has the worst fucking congestion problems
Well at least this country is so shit no one would ever bother nuking it
>>318242975
>America's interests so that they'll come rescue us when Indonesia or China wants to expand
lol what the fuck, the reason we have military spending is so they don't have to do that retard
>>318243173
I'm not Tasmanian though, you clearly have no fucking clue.
3.3Mbit/s here for $93 a month. It was 0.4Mbit/s until I complained and it was still $93 a month. Proper FTTP NBN finishing here next year though.
I bet some people in this thread complaining about shit internet voted for Liberals. Fucking idiots.
>>318243000
the only sanity to come out about mandatory data retention the useless bullshit it is came from the greens
too bad they only function as a protest party, votes effectively go to labor anyway
>>318237361
Transpacific cables aren't the problem. It's the local infrastructure that is fucked. The government spent $800mn on copper cabling networks, just to find out it'll take another $350mn to fix the shit to an operable level.

Retard, Australia is a very small country (population wise) with a lot of natural resources (coal, natural gas, uranium). If any fuckboi wants to risk thermonuclear war by fucking with us they'll have to go through America.
To appease America we followed them into every war they fought since WWII.

Also my new apartment has a 50mb/s connection going in soon, FEELS GOOD, but yes, typically this country fucking blows.

Greens are actual, literal social justice warriors, in the purest sense of the word. Not even joking. Their party is built on years of that kind of hyperactive attention-seeking activism.
That aside, I would totally support their party if it was purely environmental, and all that transginger and DUDE WEED LMAO shit wasn't their main platform.
>>318243632

Disability support pension. I get a concession card which gets me money off bus rides and tech course, and I get 800 dollaridoos each fortnight.
Honestly, I didn't even want the money at first, I got the pension so I could be contracted with a disability employment agency. But, three years later, I'm still jobless and still collecting my autismbux.
>>318243858

I remember spending a full week, on a 56k modem, downloading the demo for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
Yes, I made my family go without the phone for a week.

>The USA will fight Indonesia, the country it regularly supplies aircraft, IPC and training to
You're the retard. In any conflict with other SEA nation the USA will be neutral because they have their fingers in all of them. Muh resources is completely void when you realize they get their oil from Canada, their coal from Colombia and minerals from South America. Australia is not a member of NATO and the USA has zero obligation to defend us.
>>318236223
Protip: that happens in both US and AU.
In australia it's basically a monopoly with one company until like last month owning a clear majority of the lines.
