My household will go through 60-80Gb per month, a figure that cannot be provided by mobile data, primarily due to cost.
Also, ADSL technology provides large downloads in comparison to uploads. Typically you'll only get uploads of 256Kb-384Kb up to maybe a max of 1Mb.
For a whole range of uses, this is totally inadequate.
I cannot do a decent Skype or Facetime call at home due to this fact alone.
Extraordinary amount of money to spend, so you can do a "decent" Skype and Facetime session!

Just make sure people in rural areas have decent internet and spend the money on hospitals or schools.

Rather than make those people in rural areas come to the big smoke to go to the hospital they will be able to use the NBN and eHealth applications to get their treatment/advice.

Thanks for the patronising reply.
3 Kids doing internet school research, media downloads, no ability to perform offline cloud data backups, I can't run my business, etc in addition to the above.
The last 2 skype calls were for medical reasons and both were over 1 hour duration. One was for a medical advice from an overseas specialist on a terminal illness for a family member, the other so that the interstate specialist could treat a family member remotely. Both those calls saved thousand of dollars and more importantly saved time.
Cheers ...
