"How do I want to engage online"? By broadband, filter-free, like yesterday.

I don't care *how* you do it - ADSL, ADSL2, wireless, cable who cares.

I want nation wide broadband, minimum 8Mbps or better, and for less than $80/month. And I want it now, not in another three years.

ISP Filtering: biggest red-herring ever, but an invitation to even worse performance. If I need a filter, I'll do it here, ta.

You've already had 12 months to sort all this out. Its another of The Big Ideas for which *progress* is glacial, frozen in endless *process*.

Telstra's bid is a another straw in the wind. A monolith whose service is not up to scratch, at the counter or at the socket, delivered late, and with bad attitude. And how do they tackle their broadband bid? The same way: late & not up to spec.

We don't really care what you *say*, Minister. What we want is for you to DO something, and quickly.
