Have you given satellite a thought? Yeah, it sucks, but I doubt you get snow in Australia.

As a post-Satellite user...Don&#39;t get it&#33;&#33;
Dial up teh pwnz > Satellite

It is more trouble than its worth and typical ping on a SRS (Satellite-return system: meaning it uses Satellite for Uploading // FYI: DRS is Dial-Return system)...
SRS has about 6000 (thousand) ping
and DRS about 3000 ping...

BAD FOR GAMES lol

lol one problem i live in australia

ARG&#33;
than satellite is your only way out
you dont game than satellite is just what you need
i have heard of speed faster than dsl on satellite
so if you just do web stuff you&#39;ll be fine
any way you look at its dial up or satellite

most of the time it will work with what you got
but you may have to upgrade to a new one. but
over all you will only have one dish and you will get
tv and internet on it
try this google seach
the search
hope that helps
side note you "might" have to get another dish or
switch your satellite tv service
basicly just start calling around and ask thats all you can
do at this point
