Laggingbehind AussieInternet

Internet censorship diverts attentions away from our terribly slow,outdated and patchy network infrastructure. Referring to the post by Jarrad / 11 Dec 2008 4:34pm, there are in fact still places within metropolitan areas without access to ADSL let alone ADSL2+. Forcing ISPs to filter forces extra costs and responsibilty back to them, which we will all be paying for. internet criminals are too clever for any filter. The government should instead consider its future plans to encourage infrastructure rollout. I fear rural areas will never have ISPs to compete with Telstra, and thus will continue to pay double their metropolitan counterparts for a lesser service of ADSL2. Thankfully telstra is at least forced to wholesale ADSL1 to its competitors for us country people (where it is available) - for that I am grateful for the better prices it brings. But there are still many without- and they include people in suburbs of cities!
