It's just not convenient going digital in Australia - with our shit internet speeds and all. I can't imagine that a streaming service will be viable OZ when next gen dawns as well (government is incredibly slow with the infrastructure improvements). I hope Sony and Microsoft takes this into consideration next-gen

i have very high internet speeds for Aus though, better than 90% of the world i dare say. 

Have 13 megabyte download speed (101 mbps) and a 1 megabyte upload (9 mbps) pay like 60 a month. our internet speeds are actually quite good, its just the caps make it expensive and no one wants to go there. 

Im with telstra btw, have a cable bundle (you know, the foxtel lines) and i live in a pretty 'poor' part of SA and i know of a few others that have cable, their speeds are quite comparable (all of them live in different parts of SA).

If you have foxtel in your area your speeds will be quite high, just have to pay for that install is all.

Lucky for you! I've looked into getting high speed internet, but its not viable yet with the shitty infrastructure around my area. Telstra says they will have to roll out done by the end of the year, even then the speeds will be nothing like what you have :( And I live in metro sydney
