[LINK] Australian broadband speeds slow: Akamai Report (was Re: Austraian Internet Speeds Falling?

[Richard]

Thanks Frank!

I've flip-flopped in my own mind regarding the methodology of this. But 
it at least has a consistent methodology for all countries. And it's 
much better than (say) the OECD's "average of advertised speeds" which 
is just silly.
