Many of my European friends think its hilarious that we pay for traffic at all.
Its this sort of thing though thats built into the cost structures of all our businesses and makes them less competitive in the global market. Mind you, weve been paying through the nose for a long time. I still remember the days where getting a phone (landline) connected here was over $400 and six weeks lead time. During the same period, where I was staying in San Jose, it was $7.50 and same day.

Prior to leaving I was paying $49 for half that speed and 50GB cap. Unbelievable that Aussies still have to pay so much more than the rest of the world. <snip>
