Yeah, thats the thing...if you're in a reasonably big area, in most cases you can get ADSL no problemo, however there's still a lot of people in country areas who simply can't get it either because they're too far away from a capable exchange, or because their phone lines haven't been touched since the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and are simply too crappy to handle ADSL - in the area where our farm is a lot of people either suffer with dialup, or use 3G (typically Telstra NextG), or satellite, because those are the only options available.
