Luddite ideology.
Happened to my country too, the politicians trust made in america™ and not their own techies because they know they've kneecapped them from exporting the work since the 80s.
Now the critical infrastructure is more expensive and no one cares because anyone with "grass roots" in Aus will just use cloud services.

chinese child molesting hands created this thread. still the greatest country in the world while you roam the streets of beijing looking for the next dog to eat for lunch
Australian laws require everything to be logged and for DNS to be filtered. All that shit is expensive and makes the internet slow as frick.
> seething chinks
Large and spread out cities. 10-50m of fibre might cover 1-2 houses but in other places in the world it covers 50-5000 people which makes it expensive.
Also the boomers in charge don't care and don't want to know about technology so IT staff and sectors have always been underfunded.
The government themselves even said "nobody needs more than 25mbps" (while having a private fibre line installed to their houses via tax payers money).
>(while having a private fibre line installed to their houses via tax payers money).
government is now rolling out fibre to everyone's house. fibre to node is dead.
I wouldn't be surprised if foreign nations competitively lobby to keep our internet slow so that they can have faster adaptability to market conditions over us to the point where our market has a significant issue with things like electronic trading.
Add crypto to this and the disadvantage aus has is worsened in the global market.
Bottlenecks kill economies nowadays.
>I wouldn't be surprised if foreign nations competitively lobby to keep our internet slow
that's exactly what happened. fairfax, news ltd, tv and radio networks etc. literally lobbied the government to stop funding the NBN because the internet was killing their businesses and control over information. if any aussie here is born after 1998 they DO NOT understand just how fricking bad things were here until the late 2000s. these corporate homosexuals seriously believed they would be the gatekeepers off all information for all of eternity.
>government is now rolling out fibre to everyone's house. fibre to node is dead.
For context. They said "nobody needs more than 25mbps" in 2013, as they got tax payer funded fibre lines to their personal homes. 11 years later, yeah they are rolling out fibre to everyone.
Still on FTTN here, 25mbps.
first time i used high speed internet was via a coax cable that carried paytv, back in 2001. so expensive but frick dial up at that point in history. > adsl
i used it for roughly around 7 years and hated every minute of it. made fibre to node look like god-tier tech instead of the hard rubbish that it actually is to cope with lack of FTTP.

Although, I'll bet major corps have significantly faster internet than common consumers and small businesses. You could argue that they're deliberately buying out and racketing the bandwidth for the sake of their leverage over australians.
Ah.. the australian corpo cartel never ceases to amaze me.
Also this is why Google has better running internet than most other competitors nowadays. It literally prevents competitors from gaining advantage over them nowadays.
I watched a vid on that topic several months back. It made sense to me at the time; profit, politics, no incentive to make it faster (upgrades cost money to contractors and the political will isn't there to come up with funds to do it) etc..
I spent about 15 seconds looking for the vid but my internet is fast af so idgaf.
Extortion of the populace for money.
Costs me $95 a month for 100/20 down/up.
Before getting FTTN NBN in 2020, I had 4mbps which was unstable and charged me $65 a month.
i always remembered australia as the country with fast internet but bad latency based on what my australian gaymer friends said. maybe it's cause i used to have 1mb download until the late 2010s
Shit, I'm Dutch and we just got lucky from a geographical point of view. International cables come in, seedboxes are hosted here, internet goes out. We have so many data centers here it's insane. So I think Aussies are mostly unlucky in that it's a big frick off island they're living on.
they don't support residential ipv6 and no longer give residential users static ipv4 addresses. all things they want you to pay extra for via business contracts.
So what happened is there was this guy called Rudd
Anyways, he said "yeah we're gonna give everybody really fast internet BUT.... we're also going to censor the internet even harder than China".
And then he got kicked out of office and nobody took up the fight for fast internet again.
>.. we're also going to censor the internet even harder than China
while that is partially true, it had nothing to do with speed or technology
>And then he got kicked out of office and nobody took up the fight for fast internet again.
except for entire labor party and most of the country's fricking electorates that banished the liberal party back to the stone ages and have to undo all the great work carried out by catholic boy molesters such as tony abbott. rudd was fricking shit but these liberal party child molesters are so dangerously incompetent and corrupt they set australia back 30 years, and for what exactly? so mr. murdoch and the rest of the failing businesses in this country didn't have to compete with the rest of the world.

Limited bandwidth because we have so few cables in and out of Aus.

>Amazon are now charging for every IPv4 address
>TPG still has no plans to support IPv6

It's not I have 1Gbps at home and 1Gbps on my phone.
Stop being poor gays move out of home get top tier connections instead of mum and dads.
Spiders spending all their time on the web
The liberals got back in.

who's got the worst internet? this is mine
Richest people in the world and highest white percentage. The rest of the world has nothing to offer them.
We are too powerful and must be artificially limited
