Perhaps, but I have run (small) exchanges and an Electronics dept at
the ANU, and I am pretty sure that either a more direct route could be
found (it's under 2KM as the crow flies), or a (pilot) line with less
loss, if there was any incentive try, and wasn't a Telstra ADSL
monopoly in Canberra.

Telstra is so incompetent they won't even bother to tell me when (IF)
the get 2 way satellite up, their very customer friendly solution is
to just try their web site every few days, which I have been doing
since around August - don't hold your breath waiting for Telstra
mates.
