Hi
Another broadband alternatives:

1. Satellite (one way, ie Astra). Today AOL had announced that they plan to phase out this service because they consider the service is unreliable compared to other method.

2. iBlast: 1 Mbps through digital TV:

Woah, you people in that part of the world sure do put up with slow access...
My 10Mbps cable here in Australia just rocks  :-)
And anyone who thinks it's not 10Mbps, please explain how I just got a 1MBps download just a moment ago... (yes, it's rare, I usually only get between 200KBps and 500KBps)  :-D If a site is ever slower than 100KBps, I spend the rest of the day complaining about slow downloads  :-P

Maybe but cmiiw...

Aussies have a up/download restriction.. I forget how much it is but iirc it aint very much, unless you pay mega bucks and go for a business link.

I did some research on this for a friend who lives in Perth.. Where I used to live.
