Inspite of the Government & Oppositions pre election rantings and promises for broadband every where, It is available to everyone in Australia now. If you can't get ISDN or ADSL on your phone line you are eligible for the Government grant for a satellite connection @ $29-95/ month no more to pay (IE the Gov. pays the upfront cost). Be quick as I am not sure how much longer the subsidy will be available, but I have had mine installed for 2 years now. with Active8. There is no excuse now to say you can only have slow dial-up any more.
Go to www.apn.net.au there are other companies in the act too you may find. Bordernet, or the Elders/Optus, but I only know of Active 8 (Australian Private Networks) Don't complain about slow dial up again!!!!

Sad for those of us who only get dial up at 19kbps and nothing better is available.?????????? Video!!! Leave the PC on and go and do a day's work in the paddock or shed, then come back and look at it. That does'nt work either as your ISP shuts you down for (in)activity(?) reasons. Sheesh!!! I am only 30km from the Adelaide CBD, an inner suburb in other Oz cities. Is Adelaide really only half an hour behind eastern Oz or something more?
