Well Rudd has already given this a bit of attention, in the NBN. Genius move that was.

Nothing however, will change where we are in the world, it’s hard to link to the rest of the place.

Hi there

Just a quick clarification, $59.20 is for 4 days, not 3. Anything over 5 days is under $10 bucks (11 days is $6.81 a day!) so it’s cheaper than most hotels and even internet cafe’s for a short term solution.

Thanks for your interest – the feedback is much appreciated!

Broadband and telcos here in Australia suck! Unbelievable how much they charge and for so little. If you go to North America, broadband is everywhere, in every coffee shop. You can go anywhere within a town or city and pick up a signal. You can pay for city wide service and just pay a nominal monthly charge. Perfect for the traveller on the go, who doesnt need a T1 connection.

Hopefully Rud gives this is a little more attention, because the ridiculous state of broadband here is one factor that is probably slightly dampening an economy that could be a little better than it is.

Great blog BTW, and fantastic content. I have you on my reader. Cheers.
