Australia population does not allow for a cost effective infrastructure. Consequently there is not enough bandwith available in Australia and thus limits on data access.
My Bigpond is shaped @ 25G when it exceeds. So it doesn't cost me extra but is annoyingly slow.
As the technology grows in Oz the data bandwith increases with responsible ISP's like IINET and other whereas selfish money hungry Telstra and Optus providers continue to use the excuses. Hopefully the splitting of Telstra Whoesale and Retail may allows better competition and larger data access where necessary.
