But when you consider that Hellstra have control of aussie and still have an iron grip, even when they have cities liek Brisbane, Perth, Sydney etc there aint much hope here ;_; BTW. For the record, HK don't have 10mbit. No, they get gigabit fibre connections for unser us $120 (?) a month. Granted, it carries internet as well as phone and TV, and only around 30mbit or so international bandwidth, but still bloody good |
