We pay 10 times as much for a tenth the speed (based on a 64kBps ISDN link -
I think that Telstwrong are still charging 7 k$ a year for here?) that you

Cabling for cable TV in Oz is no easy matter - we'll not likely get it
anytime soon here in Canberra because of the way that the local government
views overhead lines.
What can I say, but, lucky b*stard!
