Apart from Telstra's pricing structure, which controls the market and prevents healthy competition, ISP's are going to charge for the services that will allow for speed and more download limits. They will be offering TV shows and movies etc for download but at an extra price. <BR/><BR/>Optus has now joined those who are including upload limits in download limits. I imagine a time when photo and video uploads are only possible if you subscribe to a paid service with your ISP.<BR/><BR/>The excuse given is too much bandwidth being used for illicit downloads but I reckon they are trying to restrict us now only so they can charge for services in the not too distant future.Sueblimelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10198116409716704785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20879512.post-36824922327455605092007-11-06T17:04:00.000+11:002007-11-06T17:04:00.000+11:00I think it is completely scandalous and reflects more of the Australia that our convict relatives arrived in rather than contemporary Australia. Regardless of who is elected, it will be years before most of Australia has access to serviceable, cost effective, reasonably fast internet service.Colin Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14991363859883869289noreply@blogger.com
