Who knows! I'm moving to Perth, so we'll see...

I did live there 10 years ago and had speeds around what you describe, maybe faster (having trouble recalling) via Bigpond cable at the time. It was the only decent option as ADSL was going to be 1Mbit due to distance from the exchange and the WiMax operator, Vivid, massively oversold and could often only provide 2/1.

Looks like things might not have moved on that much! I guess it just needs to be something else that goes on the list of stuff to check for before we buy a house a year or so down the line.
