At the very least, we don't have AU's caps.

Yes and your internet isn't as slow as shit and labelled 'the worst infrastructure in a developed nation' by pundits.

I WISH we had something approaching what the US has in AU.

Wait, AU is considered worse than US? Wow that's surprising.

We're ranked like 40 ish, US is in the 30. We ARE suppose to get this cool new fiber-optic network that will bring us to the top of the world but the government who promise this didn't provide enough fund and now they're all arguing how to do it while the budget gets smaller and smaller.

That doesn't sound too different from what we have:

Plans that won't get followed through

Budget gets smaller until it falls into oblivion

eventually fails

Although in the long run I think AU will have it better anyway:

Actually has a plan that would bring acceptable speeds (Under 1mbs definition sucks for us)

Actually has a plan that has potential to catch up with the rest of the world

 

As my friends say here: [United States] Congress, it's the opposite of progress.

That's enough rambling from me though, I could complain about government all day long. I guess its comforting to know that other countries people feel the same way about the government lol
