If this government internet filter conroy wants whacked on gets going, watch those internet speeds tumble. Country will become a joke internationally.

Re: Average Internet speeds
Also I would highly expect that those are the average speeds from the house to the termination point. Rather than across the state wide network let alone the International peering bandwidth.
In short just because you connect at 4Mbps at you're house it doesn't mean diddly in actual performance of using the internet.
The UK has a far higher density of actual services available on the Internet and the backbone around the country is far superior to the Oz. Not to mention the lack of population density in Oz.
But that said you should try some providers over in this part of the world!

Re: Average Internet speeds
Our test measures actual data throughput between your computer and our distributed network of servers to give you an idea of how fast your broadband connection is in the real world. We calculate the speed of your Internet connection by calculating the time it takes to download a predefined set of data.

iPrimus
http://www.iprimus.com.au/PrimusWeb/...bandInternet/#
ADSL2+ Family 40GB (20GB peak + 20GB off peak [10am-2am]) $39.95
Many of the ADSL2+ plans are about that price, but not all are available. iPrimus however, using the Telstra network, appear to be available in most areas.
