Don't care about a ridiculous download speeds, only to burn the quota in 
10 minutes. I sync at 15mbps, but never really have a need to download 
at that speed - only if I'm in a real hurry to download some pr0n.

If Telstra wasn't so fucking gay, I'd be more than happy with 
256/256kbps or something which had a decent upload bandwidth, say for 
$29.95 a month, with Homeline Budget.

But then everyone would jump on the VoIP train, and fuck the PSTN 
revenue even more, wouldn't they?

So for now, to have any chance of VoIP being actually usable, especially 
if you actually need to use your Internet at the same time, you'll need 
ADSL2.

 > They dont mind

I think they do. Remember the whole FTTN ploy?
