Australia is installing a national
broadband network. There has been much debate about what and how to do it and
the actual physical practicalities of it. I live on a main road and this week
they started cabling us up. I don’t think we are actually connected yet, but
whatever they have done to the cables (maybe installed a detour while they work?)
it has slowed my Internet to dial up speeds.
And I am not coping.
I can’t load Google Drive to chat
to my betas as I do every day. I can barely load my own blog! YouTube? Nope.
Even tweetdeck won’t load. And Tumblr? Forget it; too many pictures and videos
to load more than three or four posts at a time. And my phone is not modern
enough to load these things for me, so I can’t walk to the local McDonalds or i-store
and use their free wi-fi.
I’m not even sure I will be able
to load this blog post!
Funny that we don’t know what we
have until it’s gone, right?
