Centralised censorship is bullsh*t. People can get around such centralised filtering by using proxies anyway.
Broadband in this country is shockingly expensive and damn slow, I know we have limited high-speed backbone connectivety to the rest of the world, however, for an ISP like telstra to charge not just on downloads but uploads aswell is a travesty of justice, uploads don't cost them a single cent. Bandwidth shaping is also a dirty practice, limiting a broadband connection to 28.8ks is what optus does once you go over their 12gb a month limit and it is annoying beyond belief. Broadband in Israel in comparison is far, far superior, much cheaper and faster and no bloody limits!
