An expensive 25GB now! up from 12GB. I believe I've worked something out, since we don't quite reach the limit, I'll grab what I can then let it run at dialup for an entire day on the last 'monthly' day according to Telstra and grab the rest.
Sesame Street says a lot of things, they don't apply when I need my GOG and gaming fix!

You're.... on TELSTRA?? My god that explains everything. Do no other ISPs service your area?

Sadly... no. There are a few small ISPs of varying low-mid quality & a dial-up service. Internode claims they will do this area, but further checking and they tell me 'not available at the moment', I'm on a notification list. There is a lot of new housing blocks coming up in the next two years, a bit of a wait, but will give reason for competition.
We only were able to get broadband in 2005-6 as well. But if my house was on the other side of the highway, options abound!

I guess I should be happy with my 15mbit with no limit and costing 25 dollars a month, huh? : ) Hooray for Czech Republic, heh.I already downloaded all 8 games yesterday and today I am going to install them and test them.
