It's hard to find a country that has worse internet than Australia. My kiwi friends make fun of my supposedly "fast" NBN connection, let alone those in Japan or Sweden (1 GB download and upload anyone?).
Though without it I'd have been boned this year as medical issues kept me home for a good chunk of it. ADSL here is such a bad joke, there's no way you can seriously do IT work from home.
As for Turnbull's (and it was Turnbull's) idea of fibre-to-the-node and copper-to-the-home, that should have been shot in the head the moment he said it. All the copper here is rotten - hence the terrible ADSL service that dies every time it rains.
So where did the money go? Is it purely down to the huge size of the country?
