I spend 110 for adsl2 on telstra for 50gb per month.

I live 50 minutes out of the very center of brisbane, and theres no other ISP's with ADSL2 in my suburb :(.

Its not even that fast...]]>Apr 14th 2010 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/

Sadly they have a monopoly over the last few hundred feet of copper wires that we still rely on for landlines and ADSL.

I have dealt with Telstra at a senior managerial and technical level and I have never seen such a combination of political bitchiness, laziness and downright incompetence. Make no mistake, there are some very clever people in Telstra but the place is run by empire builders, butt kissers and Optus rejects. They just don't get the new digital age. If there is a way to get a winning idea and screw it up, overprice it and then rely on monopoly powers for it to hobble through, then Telstra will find a way. AT&T is like a combination of Google, McKinsey and Goldman Sachs by comparison.]]>Apr 14th 2010 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/Apr 14th 2010 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/hometech/telstra-joins-ipad-fray-with-thub-20100414-s83p.html?autostart=1

fixed lines are on decline over here and telstra are trying to recapture some of the market.

telstra has exorbitant line rental in addition to call charges. all of their services are overly priced. and don't get me started on the quality.]]>Apr 14th 2010 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/Apr 14th 2010 7:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/Apr 14th 2010 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/Apr 14th 2010 5:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/telstras-landlocked-t-hub-tablet-phone-launches-in-australia/
