basically the fact that most tech jobs can be accomplished when you "work from home" is pretty damning evidence that they're not actually work

they were good in australia for a while

there was a big thing of how poo poo they were from their network being over capacity, so everyone abandoned them en masse to other networks and the problem solved itself

they're poo poo again now though

australia was gonna give like 90% of the country fiber to the home until their newer government gutted it so now it's some bastardization of the original plan but things are improving at least

every year I go back to Oz for xmas and every year I am reminded why I can't work there because of the lovely Internet.

also every year my Oz friends give me poo poo for saying this and a bunch of reasons why it was just bad for me at that exact particular moment but I know, I know I'm right. Oz Internet is poo poo.
