Bulls**t.
Australia must be one of the most expensive countries when it comes to
paying the ISP bill. I have a few friends in the US and Europe and
they pay zilch compare what we have to pay.
A few years back when ISDN was "the way to go" people in the US had
to pay $150 ALL UP for their ISDN connection compare to the $600 we
had to pay. (same in europe)
Why do you think soooooooooooooooo many people put their servers
into the US instead putting them locally?????
