On a backbone/wholesale level, Ausfailia is too shit and too small a country/market to support a perfect competition market situation.

Enjoy your monopolies and oligopolies (who probably collude anyway so an effective monopoly).

Solution: Import more immigrants, increase the number of consumers per square meter and stop corporations from donating to politicians.

ADSL 2 = 12 megabits download (1.5MB/s)
600/1.5 = 400 seconds

YOU CAN BURN THROUGH YOUR ENTIRE DOWNLOAD LIMIT IN SIX AND TWO THIRDS MINUTES.

FUCKING RETARDED.

You can get ~40GB for that same speed and price from other providers. But idiots will still get Telstra because of their obviously well funded advertising campaigns.

For once, Skyfailure is remotely on the money.

Very remote economy coupled with high internal market dispersion (metro areas long distances from each other) = NO PLAYER CAN ACHIEVE MINIMUM SCALE EFFIIENCY WITHOUT GOVERNMENT COTTONWOOLLING AND WEALTHFARE = market concetration at AIDS-shittingly high levels

But even so the government were absolutely delided by ideology and had to privatise all of it... EVEN THOUGH IN THE AUSTRALIAN CONTEXT A STATE MONOPOLY WOULD BE MORE EFFICIENT/EQUITABLE/AFFORDABLE THAN THE MARKET 'SOLUTION'

Telstra is not a market solution. Telstra is a socialist solution. Telstra were government owned for so long. That is was they are so big, and why it is hard for the little guys to compete. Socialism created the problem.

Now Capitalism is providing the solution. Nobody is twisting your arm to buy your internet through Telstra. There is affordable ADSL2+ out there. I use TPG.

The monopoly was there since 1901. Yeah it would have been cool if Telstra had been broken up before the government sold its interest, but on the other hand, by not breaking it up, the government were able to get more money from the sale.

Ok, so who was the PMG in competition with? State owned monopoly is still a monopoly.

>>SHIT PRIVATISATION IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DETRIMENTAL

If it weren't for privatisation you wouldn't have private investment, and if you didn't have private investment then all the Ausfaqs would still be on dial-up. Haven't you been paying attention? Governments suck at building infrastructure, unless it's in the form of post-war reconstruction, and only then because they have shitloads of conscripts to find work for.

Even if you're using a different ADSL provider ~$20/month of your bill is still going straight to Telstra, NOT INCLUDING line rental.
