17% are already on fast broadband as at Nov 2006 (see ABS 2006 Year report)

Given that broadband is a political football at the moment, it will get fixed. Considering only 25% of Households had bband in 2005, and at the end of 2006 it was 51% (with 17% of superfast), I think youre flying in the face of the inevitable Alan...............

Remember, people get pipes to access content, and as content gets richer, pipes get faster.

As for quota's - Optus does a whopping 40Gb/60Gb on DSL2, as do many others - each movie is only 800Mb, so thats 50 movies, or 70 viewing hours, using on peak alone - NO ONE can watch that in a month and have any other sort of life - average household viewing hours are 44 per month (Same ABS Report). I think its shortly an academic argument, that had merit poissibly a year ago, but almost irrelevant now, and will be forgotten in another 12 months.
