Is it true that Australians really have data caps on home internet? Like you have on a cell phone? Imagine being able to only use 16GB of internet every month.

Let's all take a moment and laugh.

>i play video games enough for video game laws to matter meme
>i drink and smoke enough for high tax rates on those things to matter

when you drink and smoke you get several kinds of cancer. cancer needs chemo, and in australia the medicare system pays for it. the tax rates are designed to have a two fold effect: deter people from drinking so much so that they don't get expensive cancer in the first place, and to fund the chemo so the tax payers at large don't have to pay for the brunt of the chemo

When we still had capped internet, they used to half the speed if you used it all.
What happens when you go over the limit?

>le high impact sexual violence land

Yes this costs $60 a month but I don't bother comparing to find better deals which probably exist because I don't pay it

I couldn't image having a data cap. I use like 1.5TB of data a month.

obsessed

>conservicucs filtering porn
You can get around that at least

>draconian
can americans go through one discussion about guns without using this word? probably not

What on?

It does depend on how many people you have in your house how much they download. For 3 people, 1000Gb is more than enough so its not worth spending extra just for unlimited tbqf.

speed is reduced. you don't actually think they'd turn it off?

however, uncapped is available here

Vidya, anime, movies, TV shows.

All at least 1080p, none of that yify shit.

little tiny baby bird brains

I have unlimited internet

no. it's in every news cycle. if it were german language they'd call them draconiangunlaws, it's that ingrained

upset :^)

thank fucking god you left. if only every libshit does the same.

enjoy your overbearing overregulated nanny cuckhole

I was wondering if they'd try to charge you more. The prices are already too high for what you get, tbqf.

Basically the same. Some companies you can just ring and they give you extra data with w/o capped speed for no charge, other companies will charge for that shit.

>enjoy your overbearing overregulated nanny cuckhole
he sure is mad

wew lad

aussie laws are draconian

if you want "reasonable" gun laws than look at switzerland

by banning and confiscating the majority of firearm types you pass a draconian measure

are you adjusting currency? i mean
>desert island in the middle of nowhere
so there's that, but honestly it's not too bad. i get a lot of free services from the gumment to help balance everything out.

They are, but to put it in comparison. The average cost of internet is Australia is $60 a month, which is a few dollars more than 3 hours of min wage work.

Aren't shave vaginas on models also illegal in Australia because of some pedo shit?

guns aren't everything, dude. chill.

you're weird.

I have fast car, fast drink, fast girls, fast everything

And smokers end up costing less because they die earlier idiot.

Don't think so, never heard of it.

How many times have you guys gone over your data cap browsing this thread?

So why respond :^)

420 times

>flawed studies

i came to aus to study mathematics, btw, but i'm not posting here tonight to educate a buttmad gaylord about how to spot p-hacking

Here, the lower price is 3 AUD for a year, then you can bargain a price between 3 AUD and 30 AUD if you tell them you'll move to another provider.

How many times have you needed to use a gun in your life?

If it's more than 0 than you probably don't live in a developed country

You must've come from somewhere pretty crap to be studying mathematics here of all places.

Why would you come to Australia of all places to study mathematics

nice, eurobro. hold down the motherland for me, look after that good internet.

it's flawed because I say so

Yep. Peer reviewed research is wrong because it does not adhere to my preconceived beliefs.

Cry more armchair """"""""""scientist"""""""""

My nigga You severely underestimate how much is costs to keep the elderly alive. Smokers saving money in the long run because they die earlier has been replicated multiple times in different countries.

i'm collaborating with a p imminet professor

also

>went to autistralia to study mathematics

Noice. What place of study?

it says right there in the article
>study did not take into account.....
just torture the data until it confesses, and shelve the stuff that doesn't fit the narrative.

it's how you get funded. it's wrong; it's not good for science because it's not good science, but it happens a lot more than you'd be comfortable with.

Well, 0 of course

There's like 5 black people in my city. May get a gun for fun though.

t. Bruce Zhang Manangatang

I use 1-2TB a month usually. I have 1 webdav drive with 1TB for free, and 1 webdav drive of 2TB for a few €. I use these a lot. That and downloads, software updates and constantly new installs(3 laptops, 2 pc's, 1 server, many many vm's) Netflix, etc.

ANU

Well this thread escalated fast. The autisim is electric.

It took the most important costs into consideration which are medical costs.

>b-but the study didn't look at all costs

Because it was unable to. Learn how science works dipshit. EVERY study has limitations. What matters the most is replication of the finding elsewhere by other researchers. This was already accomplished when I linked you TWO studies.

>funded

It was funded by the dutch government you paranoid faggot.

>gun laws are so important
>i never need a gun
>therefore access to guns is extremely important

sounds just about right desu

Is gun law a red herring?

Yeah, that's a lot compared to my house. We've only got one PC, one laptop and a whole bunch of mobiles and tablets which don't really use much data since most downloads barely get past 30mb in size.

And speed does contribute too. The faster the speed the more you download.

Nooooooice. Well good luck friend

Australia might very well be the worst first world country on the planet.

>no authentic cuisine
>woman are often overweight and lack a real identity, they overly associate with American reality television because that is the live they wish they had
>high percentage of homo sexuality and it is actively encouraged up to the highest levels of the government

>dangerous small spiders who can kill you easily
>no real car market because of expensive imports
>9/10th of the country is the "outback"
>cities are full of hipster shit and people from Europe "backpacking"
>nothing can come in the country, flying to Australia seems like a fucking hell due to customs you see on Discovery Channel
>no "good" sports teams in anything
>haven't won any war or participated in any conflict of reasonable importance, so no pride

it is literally a island which happens to have people on it

the lack of identity and patriotism is what makes the youth such an abomination which is often spotted in online communties, where they are the rotten apples (second place, next to Brazil, in lowest quality contributions)

there is nothing special or even noteworthy about australia, it is just a country with reasonable wealth and lots of problems and issues due to it being an island and people too busy with "just living day to day" rather than actually building a great country

Mine is unlimited, but it's still expensive (~$100/month for landline, internet, mobile phone)

i like that last paragraph

Ah, Van der Bantz, good to see you again.

baka.com.au/technology/sci-tech/australian-researchers-make-quantum-computing-breakthrough-paving-way-for-worldfirst-chip-20151005-gk1bov.html

here's that latest investment report you wanted

Well, when you use online drives as local drives and for backups that are synched every moment of the day, it adds up. It is just convenient. The fastest standard internet is not available everywhere but it is a nice 10Gbit. I am only at 100/100Mbit but as soon as they lower the prices for 1Gbit a litte more I am taking that. My ISP also offers usenet access for free, downloads as fast as whatever your speed is which may be up to half of what I use.

It is true though. This page describes it accurately:

cpd.org.au/2005/07/does-australia-have-a-national-identity/

"define an Australian as one who lives here, is a citizen and accepts certain core values which characterise Australian society. A defining feature of Australian identity might be that we are relaxed about it and that we reject xenophobia and jingoism?"

At the end the author isn't even sure what values define an Australian identity. The only thing which makes you Australian is the name of your country. Other than that, there is zip to it. No history, no ancestors or national pride. Nothing.

When you get invaded by another country, the only thing you have to fight for is the right to live in Australia and be "Australian". There is nothing else which would be lost, it would just be different ground for a different settler. This is also why the Australian people are weak minded and so openly towards slipping down of society with cases like third wave feminism and LBGT ideologies. If you have nothing to live for, you are painfully easily to influence. You are literally riding the hype because there is nothing else to ride.

When I was in my early teens (probably up until 14ish) we had a 20gb cap. Then I convinced parents to get better internet, we went a bit higher (maybe 50?) and eventually to 200 when I was about 17. I think their provider might have given them another free upgrade to 500 or so but I was the one using most of it so since I moved out there's no way it'd be that much.

I'm going to be moving in with friends next year, do any of you have good plans? I'd want at least 1tb but probably unlimited

i know, that's why i said i liked it

did you even read the original study, the dutch one you're so confident in?

>"But it also makes sense. If you live longer, then you cost the health system more."
that's his hunch. but no shit. if anyone, smoker or non-smoker, lives longer, they are going to cost the health system more.

the guy "discovered" the equivalent of "water is wet". of course he wanted that sweet government grant, it's easy money.

i would post something like this, but it's not going to make any sense to you

I think what you did there is kinda cool. You basically said there's no other place in the world like Australia.

I used to have capped data. But when I moved out to my own place with a few mates, we got unlimited. Living with multiple people is nightmarish with a limited plan.

I enjoy it when people try to tell me how worse off I are than them. So far it's >le shit internet, expensive cigarettes and >le patriotism

I get jewed out of just 3 niggabytes

the only thing for me is my ping is a little high when i play muh gaymz with friends in other countries, and i get kicked for a high ping.

no biggie though, just telling the server admins i'm originally from the states should get it sorted

And smokers actually save money because again they die earlier, it costs a shitton to take care of the elderly, and pension payouts.
