This one is still under construction:

Google's next submarine cable will connect Singapore to Australia

The cable will be completed in 2019 and run around half the coast of Australia

I suspect if you filtered out all the Porn, You Tube, Netflix, Facebook puffery etc, about 10% of traffic would be productive/beneficial. Being broadly Business, Personal Banking, News, and Aulro of course, etc etc

I suppose i can say that there is a lot more to internet performance than the last connection in the street.

Not when you are the last connection in the street [bighmmm] as we are. Our neighbours, 2nd last, also have issues.

We have had an ongoing drama with the net for yonks, ombudsman included and still only get service
from, on average, 0500h - 0700h and 1730h to pulling up stumps.

I'm thinking that T are not going to spend their money on us when we are pencilled in for NBN (Wireless) around May next year.
