Makes you want the NBN.

Residents at Point Cook near Melbourne have stopped queuing large
downloads and started bringing on-demand movies down the pipe in under
15 minutes after swapping "abysmal" ADSL1 connections for superfast
broadband.

Three of the 1,500 residents in the coverage area of Telstra's
fibre-to-the-home (FttH) trial network have spoken to iTnews about their
experiences.

Cheers Don...

While I like the idea of fast comms, I do wonder whether its worth it to
deliver stuff like movies and other packaged consumer items. How much
does all the infrastructure cost, compared to the cost of posting a DVD
through snail-mail ?
