As one commenter suggested: Watch this video at 240p for the best experience – not that you likely have any choice.

But this isn’t a new problem – anyone with an ADSL connection knows it’s a game of roulette guessing what sorts of networks speeds to you’ll get depending on proximity to an exchange, the quality of the copper and time of day. However, the ACCC has put RSPs on notice, telling them that misleading ads will see them come down hard.”]

Cheers to RobComRobCom for the laughs, which led to cries.
I managed to score fibre to the basement in my apartment a couple of years back, so I only have to deal with a bit of copper. I know I’m one of the lucky ones though – how’s NBN going at your place? If you have it, which technology did you end up with? If you’re still waiting, how long until you get connected? (You can check here, if you don’t already know).
