I really wish Australia had rolled out the proper NBN instead of the worse, cheaper initially but more expensive over the long run version. I’m Aussie but I live in the USA now. I’ve heard that even gigabit NBN plans aren’t symmetric? Crazy for a network that’s supposed to be “modern”.
I had ADSL2+ “up to 24Mbps” in Australia back in 2013. In reality it synced at around 7Mbps. I moved to the USA at the end of the year and my apartment had a 600Mbps connection. It was… an experience. So many sites were hosted in the USA at that time too (much cheaper servers and bandwidth than Australia) so latency was much lower in the USA too.

Bruh, I get 50 Mbps for less than 10 USD.
