So I have got a very good job offer to move to Australia, and it will quite a big positive change for me both financially and mentally.

Except when I get to researching the Internet connections. Now this is a problem that most people will not understand except perhaps my fellow datahoarding brothers and sisters. Is 1000/50 really the best speed I can get?

I guess I am so spoilt by having 1000/1000 to home here in Sweden that it’s creating a big issue in my mind. I upload quite a bit to cloud storage and seed quite a few ISOs as well, that upload speed is giving me slight anxiety! Just wanted to get some perspective from Australian datahoarders.

    I think the bigger issue is that all the bits on your network will be backwards because you’ll be in the southern hemisphere. I believe you can get hardware to correct for this, but it’s probably expensive. A software solution may exist and be far cheaper. It may be better to buy computer equipment there and only transfer the data that you need.
