The Australian Broadband Guarantee
Remind me to never investigate government services of any kind. In theory I qualify for support under the Australian Broadband Guarantee because I cannot access wireless or ADSL broadband services comperable to the alleged metropolitan standard.
I think.
To prove this I need to make and document about 20 phone calls, to each and every ISP who theoretically might provide service to my location. And fill in a bunch of forms etc etc. And if I do get satellite, it's not actually guaranteed to be up to speed if it's raining, for example. Raining in one of multiple possible locations. I might be no better off than the crappy mobile narrowband I've got now.
Gah. Government websites always fill me with rage. Possibly because I only ever look at them when something's gone bad, like tax, death, car accidents, or chronic illness. There's a thought. Poor websites.
Grrrr.
