so I was offered a T1 Satalite hookup instead
Thanks Aussie Govt.
I tried to get Fibre as well, but in all the cost was atronomical (pardon the pun), From when I remember I was quoted about $2000.00 per month and $500.00 connection fee. Would have received quite substantial speeds though.

Lets hope if it comes they will consider remote areas or areas that do not have ADSL2+ first. But knowing the way government works they will provide it to already established ADSL2+ customer and the rural and RIM community will have to wait until the system is squashed or run out of money. Satisfy the majority so they get the most votes.
